Updated. Will it finally hit 5m with the week ending 21st numbers?

Most definetly. It's going to sell around 350-400k in the week ending dec 21st. It's up another 40k in Japan and America and Europe will both go up.

But are America and Europe spot on? They don't look it to me.

Why? Europe seems about right. America also looks about right considering all the bundles and the holiday period. The best buy near my home had about 50 wiiU's in the middle of their shoppe and I saw 12 people purchasing a wiiU. Most of them bought the NSMBU bundle. Also remember, Nintendo systems always do very well during the holidays. I'd say both are correct, give or take 5-10k for America and maybe 5k for Europe.

I'm not really interested in anecdotal evidence, it doesn't mean anything. WiiU sold 220k in the entire November with black friday and 3D Mario, yet in 2nd week of December (which isn't even the 2nd highest week of the month) we have 115k~. The month is on track for 500k+ which is a 300% increase over November. UK WiiU is overtracked 80k~ US is currently overtracked 50k+ as well.

That would be a 150-200% increase, not 300% which is not uncommon for December. Especially when the system is selling so slowly to begin with. Please provide me a source about the wiiU being overtracked by 80k in the UK and 50k in the US. 

I would also like to point out that November was a 4 week month while december will have 5 weeks of sales. 

EDIT: While were at it, I would also like to see some evidence for your claim that 3ds is overtracked by 700k+ in the US. Especially when there were a number of months where we didn't even get any data for that specific system from npd. 



Predictions for LT console sales:

PS4: 120M

XB1: 70M

WiiU: 14M

3DS: 60M

Vita: 13M
