Wii U has sold over 6 million confirmed by Nintendo


Wii U has shipped 5.86 million as of Dec 31st, expected to ship 6.2 million by March 31st, with the horrible sell through; that leaves about 6 million or less sold to end user as of March 31 st, in all likelihood. I can't believe this shipped vs sold to end user argument is still rolling after all these years.

The Wii U does not sell through its shipments and has even suffered negative shipment numbers from Europe for failing to move inventory.

zero999: Seeing you claim that you don't anticipate the PS4 to pass the Wii U before MK hit, did you think that the Wii U would explode solely due to Donkey Kong or did you think that PS4 demand would suddenly deflate almost completely? The PS4 would need to collapse by about 60-70% for this to happen, or the Wii U would need a rise of 200-300% or perhaps more. How on earth was this ever a realistic scenario for you? I just can't seem to wrap my head around your way of thinking at all.

a little of both. I didn't expect a total explosion for wii u and I expected ps4 basis to go down.

but WHY were you expecting this? thats the real question. What about the current situation lead you to believe you would be right? Was it just you being a Ninty and fan and wish fulfillment?
