Well even if these estimates are correct it's still not very good. Let's say Wii-U did 120k in January oppossed to the 80K VGChartz suggests, that still only adds about 10k a week tops. Wich means Wii-U was still only doing 50k a week worldwide, while the original Wii did about 250k a week in the same peroid after launch. As a comparison, even the PS3 did 60k-70k at it's lowest point in January after launch, and that was before it launched in europe and with a $500-$600 price tag.

All it's saying though is, that if the Wii U is so drastically undertracked in America, why wouldn't it also be the case in, say, Europe?

The only facts we have are that the Wii U is overtracked in America for 2012.  Also overtracked in the UK and undertracked in France, overall overtracked in Europe.  These are just estimates in the OP that can be wildly incorrect.
