PS4? Forget PS4, Nintendo needs to work hard just to get the Wii U to sell at GameCube levels.

I also have the feeling those VGChartz Wii U numbers for the US market are overtracked. 


What would bring you to that conclusion? They were substantially undertracked last time compared to NPD. 

Nintendo projected 2.8 million for this fiscal year not to long ago, witch is till the end of March. VGChartz already has the Wii-U at 2.8 million from March last year, with about 10 weeks of sales to go. Sure Wii-U will have smaller stock now, but even at Wii-U sales levels we are talking 400k-500k.

Nintendo reported 5.86M WiiU shipped by Jan 1st 2014

Exactly. Not too mention that it's quite obvious that Nintendo estimated lower than what they most likely will sell in order to have a positive spin for their fiscal year end report. (Shipments at this rate should be close to 6.5 - 7 mill), which would put them ahead of the 2.8 mill projection.

Thank you
