Wait, the Wii U beat the Wii in the third week? That's awesome, specially since the Wii U haven't sold really well in Europe.

Yeah, WiiU did very well in Japan in its opening. However, overall its a bit lower than Wii was. Still, I think WiiU is doing very well comparatively to anything else. Anyone having expectations that it will match Wii, clearly doesn't understand the monster Wii was for its first few years.

Aren't Nintendo themselves the ones expecting it to match the Wii (or very close to it) until March?

I think it'll fail to make the 5.5M although I don't think it's sales are bad at all, EU is worrying though.

Don't they always estimate around 5 million sold in March? I remember someone saying the Gamecube and Wii projections were roughly the same. I could be wrong though. So maybe it's just Nintendo's modus operandi. 

With some channel stuffing they could make it. But next fiscal year will start really slow I guess with retailers ordering less units due to very good supply.
