I hope its accurate but vgchartz has a habit of overtracking Nintendo software and hardware by about 25% or more a lot of of the time lately.

Considreing the state of the Wii U, I hope it can hit 1 million ww LTD. I think 2 million is probably asking for a minor miracle. 

Nothing but Mario/Mario Kart and Smash (where Mario is feature character) are likely selling more than 2 million on the Wii U unless its heavily bundled with the system.

Vgchartz also has a habit of undertracking Nintendo hardware/software. Last year NPD showed they undertracked 3DS in many months and Wii U in December, Wii U was also undertracked In France, and Pokemon was undertracked and still may be. This site overtacks many times but also undertracks many times so until we get NPD data or word from Nintendo this is all we have to go by. 

1 million should be a given since its already a quarter of the way there assuming that Vgchartz is correct, 2 million should be possible as well. Do u think Zelda will fail to sell 2 million as well? It seems kinda strange u think only Mario/Kart/Smash will be the only 2 million sellers.


They undertracked the Wii U for December, but other than that it seems like a fairly consistent overtrack of hardware and software. I remember people getting excited last year when Pikmin 3 and LEGO City seemed to provide weekly hardware boosts that weren't borne out final numbers. 

There's a chance that Zelda might do under 2 million, but you're probably right on that. I don't think it will sell much better than Wind Waker did on GameCube if at all though. 

The Wii U is just a mess of a console ... Nintendo can't even sell Nintendo software on it consistently.
