I don't even think Nintendo will even ship what you are suggesting. They aren't going to ramp up production to the levels you are suggesting while sales are stagnent. That would lead to massive losses


All it needs is to sell 5m.  If it sells the way it is now it will sell 1.25m between now and September.  lets say it sells 30k a week instead. That means it would sell 720k betewwn now and September.  Now considering the WiiU sold 250k during the holiday on an everage week lets throw in Mario Kart U, Zelda Wind Waker, Xenoblade 2, and 3D Mario.  That would more than enough everage between 100-150k for september to november.  Ill be nice and say 125k for 8 weeks.  That comes out to 1m plus the previous 720k.  So far far we are at 1.7m.  Now lets consider Black Friday which will likely result in another 500k.  Now we are at 2.2m  November to January will likely be between 250k 350k weekly. We will shoot for 275k for 8 weeks which comes out to 2.2m  Add the other 2.2m and that comes out to 4.4.  4.4 plus 2.8 is 7.2m which is on my low end of the prediction since I would be 800k off still.  Now considering I took the low end of my prediction, let's say it goes with my high end, which will more than enough push it to 5m units sold this year.  Considering the WiiU sold I think 2.5 m in 6 weeks of 2012 with no games, it should be able to repeat that process with games plus more
