Just as I predicted... I said on 22th this month that it should hit 5 million by now and it did, chances of hitting 5.5 million are not bad and if hits that then I am pretty sure it will hit 6 million in January...

Nintendo may reach its goal of having 9 million units by end of March, they did not said that they will sell 9 million units. They said that they expect to reach 9 million Wii U's sold since launch. Its just mainstream media stretching out of context statements as always, same with Kingdom Hearts 3 and Final Fantasy XV when a developer said that it won't come to Wii U because of DirectX 11 yet in the interview he did not said anything about DirectX 11 at all nor the Wii U as it seems...

No, Nintendo gave the forcast of 9 million unitls by March 2014, its just Nintendo media/fans trying to spin it.  And im sure with the long development cycle of both kingdom hearts and FFXV, a Wii U version would have been annoucned with the other two.

I am not sure... I would not be surprised if they mistranslated since it happens a lot from Japanese to English, can you give me the link of the original statement and if possible from their website or something? Or does Nintendo makes statements at a press conference or something?
