Here's the paradox:

This report says 500k -> "Wii U is doomed"
This report says 160k -> "Oh it's just shipped, Wii U's fine"

 

what paradox, no one is saying Wii U is fine.

Sales are slow, so why woudl you expect huge shipments when there is still unsold stock.

No, but they're saying to ignore the 160k because it's shipped. A higher number would have people taking it as sold and therefore look worse.
