WiiU is not that far behind X360 globally at this same time at a similar price point too and by end of year it will likely be higher than 360 (comparing these two as they both had first year alone).

How is that? Looking at the figures here on the site, the X360 leads by around 550k.

Half a million is not that much. It'll be gone by January.

Although correct this comparison has a significant flaw. The Wii U was available in all the main markets within a month. The x360 was not available in Europe until months after the NA launch. The x360 sales you are comparing the wii u with is pratically just the x360s NA sales vs the wii u's global.
