Did Nintendo miss a huge opportunity with the year headstart they have on MS / Sony?

Overtracked almost certainly. January sales for this even by VGCs own numbers are horrible.

I doubt it's overtracked by 500'000+ units.

Wouldn't be surprised if its overtracked by 200k or more. They barely got to over 2 million by the end of 2012, by Nintendo's own numbers, no chance in puppy heaven have they sold an additional 500,000 in January.
