At this current rate of 30,000 a week, the Wii U will be sitting at 6,250,000 units sold by the time Mario Kart 8 releases. From that point on, the Wii U would need to average 130,000 a week to make 10 million by the end of the year. I just don't see that happening unfortunately.

I don't think the numbers are adjusted yet, but Nintendo mentioned 6.1 million shipped. So Wii-U is probably still below 6 million sold, and the weekly numbers might be to high (even at only 30k). So 10 million by the end of the year is indeed very unlikely.

they shipped 6.17 million as of March, 31 and according to Vgchartz the sell thru was 5.97 at the time so about 200k on shelves. With retailers not ordering many units, a high shipped/sold ratio makes sense. It may need to be adjusted down a bit but not by any significant margin, maybe 100k or so.
