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

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.

Why would you even think that? They sold the majority of the Wii U in 2012. 

And still, 200k less wouldn't be under 2 Million, like you said before.

They did sell under 2 million in the three major markets through holiday 2012. That's a fact by Nintendo's own numbers that's what I was referring to, as another poster was trying to say they sold 3 million, which is not true. Shipped does not equal sold.
