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.

Not sure if someone already answered you (too lazy to read through every post), however, if you were following their financials last year, you would have known that they had significantly overshipped in Q3-Q4 of their fiscal year 2012 leading to very very low shipments for Q1-Q2 2013 given how slowly the system was selling. So yea, in this case, shipments will indeed be lower then what they actually sold to consumers.

I agree there was a lot of extra stock that hade to sell first(including the models with smaller storage space) but half a million units seems igh to me.
