I've been charting the week-to-week sales for the Wii U and comparing them with weekly Wii sales, and they've adjusted the sales down for the Wii U almost across the board today. Through week 7, the total spread jumped from 17% to 27% after I put in the latest Wii U numbers from launch week on. Of course, I saved over that shit like a dumbass so I can't post comparison shots of the chart... -_-
At any rate, Nintendo hitting that 5.5 million target by the end of March (which would represent only a 5-6% total spread) was already suspect. This makes it pretty much impossible, as the holiday season is long gone and there's no pent up demand due to low supply or any big system seller on the horizon in the next 3 months. It'd have to sell an average of more than 300k a week from now on to hit that goal, and the Wii didn't come anywhere near that.
THIS is a lot more worrying than the system being outsold by last-gen stuff.
