Yup. Pachter is actually pretty fair to the Wii U, giving generous predictions for more months than not. 

That said I think 150k could be a mistake on MCVUK's part, it's possible Pachter said sales of Wii U were down, only selling 65% of last year, and they misinterpreted that as "sales down by 65%". 

65% of last November's sales gives Nintendo a total of 270k Wii U for November, which is right in line with VGC's numbers. And 270k-290k is still an awful number.
