Going by the rule of thumb of "doubling Q4, Q1, and Q2 to estimate Q3" that would put the Wii U's shipments at 1.7mil. Now, that would be remarkably bad and I would expect much higher (at least 3)... However, at the same time going from 300k -> 3mil would be a massive increase and I'm not sure if the retailers would accept much more considering last year how long they sat around for after Christmas.

I think that rule isn't very good in this case given the complete lack of software Wii U was getting, and the price cut/new bundles it just received.  I would take post-price cut sales for a few weeks, pretend that was the sales for the full year and then do your math to get an estimate.

Yeah, seeing post price cut sales would make sense. At 60k weekly that would put Wii U at about 4.8mil next quarter with that rule. That's more or less what I expect.
