Q1 2013: 190k
Q1 2014: 201k
Up 11,000 units in the US this Q.
However Worldwide it is down, as Japan has seen a big drop
Japan
Q1 2013: 227k
Q1 2014: 164k
Down 63k YOY.
Europe is an unknown, but it is A) by far WiiU's weakest region but B) trends like the US, so it could be down, flat, or up, but either way it won't be by much, not enough to offset being down 52k WW.
So partially good news for WiiU in the US, at the least it's stable, but not so good news in Japan and overall, Worldwide.

Im curious, do u still believe there Is a chance it doesnt meet Nintendo's shipment forcast of 390k this quarter? Looking at the numbers u provided shows it has sold 365k then when u add in Europe, Australia, Canada, Mexico, South America and any other region Wii U is available in its likely sold over 500k this quarter.

I don't think it will, just because Nintendo don't seem to be able to meet their forecasts, ever. We don't know how much surplus stock they had from christmas, remember it's down YOY, so it sold 600k+ in Q1 last year but only shipped 390k.

It was pretty massively overshipped at launch (840k according to vgchartz) which led to the low shipments in the first half of 2013. If we assume that Vgchartz has roughly the correct number that would mean about 360k on shelves at the end 2013 which is much better than the previous year. So assuming that vgchartz has the correct numbers its very likely Nintendo meets or exceeds 390k this quarter
