Well, looking at things now, PS4 will surpass Wii U easily in 2014. March is a little early, but it's possible. They had 1M preorders at some months, it wouldn't be hard to imagine 1.5M to 2M preorders at launch. Sony already confirmed that they will have stock for the preorders and the launch units at retail. They already confirmed that they will have their biggest launch stock ever and will sell every unit easily.
Wii U will probably striggle on hollydays because of One and PS4 stealling the sales. If Sony isn't just talking PR BS about they stock, they would only have to sell 5M or 6M to surpass Wii U lifetime sales and that is hard, but possible. Over 1M on preorders, this launch will be huge and can make it faster than everyone thinks.

Sony is only forcasting 5m shipped by Mar 31. Wii U would have to ship only 1m in the next 6 months for PS4 to pass it.

It's just a forecast it doesn't mean that is what will happen. It's quite possible that they will get it wrong. Sometimes companies even purposefully lowball their public predictions so that the actual numbers look better.

thats true, still hard to believe Wii U would only get 1-1.5m sold in the next 6 months

I don't know what you were expecting, but I'm sure many people would have found it hard to believe that the Wii U would sell less than 3.5M in the time it has before it was released. The Wii U has clearly shown its ability to make much less than expectations.

That is true but from the beginning of January to the end of August Wii U sold 1.2m, with Lego City & Pikmin as the biggest releases. Sept-end of March has a price cut, Wind Waker HD, Wii Party U, Sonic Lost World, Wii Fit U, Wii Sports Club, Mario & Sonic Olympics, DKC Tropical Freeze, Mario 3D World, holidays and possibly Mario Kart. I just dont see how anyone could expect less than 1.5m in the next 7 months. It seems like people who are expecting PS4 to outsell by the end of this fiscal year arent thinking it through.
