Wii sold around 5.8 units in first six months. WiiU selling at 81% of Wii. WiiU projected sales: 4.7million. WiiU is definitely on pace to ship 5.5million.
I think a large part of the WiiU sales being a little less than Wii is less stock built up in the months leading to launch. There were some early manufacturing headaches. It's possible that WiiU shipments could match Wii from here on out until March, which would mean sales above 5 million for the year. Now, the question of course is will there be demand for those units in the downtime after Christmas like there was for Wii. I think so, at least until the first 5 million or so are sold, but you never know for sure.
