When does their fiscal year end? Because it is already way above 4.3 million unless they want to please investors and undershoot it. Either that or Wii U is overtracked

Their fiscal year ends March.
They've sold 2.4m according to our numbers since April 2013. No signs of undertracking. If that news is true, they must expect one hell of a Q1....

I believe they mean shipments, not sold to consumers. They have probably shipped close to 6 million consoles at this point. With the continued momentum of Mario3D worlds (especially in Japan) and DK in February, another 1 million plus shipments for this quarter (globally) is very plausible.

of course they mean shipments, but from the sold through data you can already estimate Q4 (Nintendo's Q3) numbers before they officially release it.
2.4m units sold means ~2.6m shipped if it wasn't for the holiday season. So they shipped probably 3m so far this fiscal year which means there are ~600k on shelves that will last this whole month, so starting February they are going to ship new consoles for the 2 remaining months, but not anywhere near 1.3m units.
