Wii didn't sell under 200,000 units per week from launch date until mid-march.
Wii U will sell under 200,000 units by Mid-January.

There is no hype for Wii U, these projections are way off.

Sub 4m by end of March.


Last year the Wii sold 1,557,816 from January 1st to March 31st, the Wii U will (likely) need less than that to have sold 4 Million by the end of March, and if you think the Wii U will sell worse than the Wii did in 2012 I have a bridge to sell you ...

The Wii also sold ~3.45 million from the week ending Nov 26 to Dec 24 in 2011.  That is only counting NA for the first week, NA and EU for the second, and then WW so it corresponds to the staggered release of the Wii U.  It has a good chance of staying ahead for the next two weeks as well.  So considering the Wii has been ahead by about 57% so far, it isn't that far fetched.  Of course the Wii fell down hard after Jan 7th 2012, so it's unlikely to stay ahead, but we also don't know yet what will happen to Wii U sales after the holidays.  I suspect Japanese sales should be strong enough to keep it ahead though.
