During the three months ended June 30, 2014, for “Nintendo 3DS (3DS, 3DS XL and 2DS),” titles such as “Kirby: Triple Deluxe” and “Tomodachi Life,” released in May and June respectively in the United States and Europe, gained wide popularity. As a consequence, the global sales of the “Nintendo 3DS” hardware and software reached 0.82 million units and 8.57 million units respectively.
With respect to “Wii U,” “Mario Kart 8,” released globally in May, marked 2.82 million units in sales. The worldwide sales of the“Wii U” hardware and software were 0.51 million units and 4.39 units respectively mainly due to a lack of other hit titles this quarter.
The operating loss was 9.4 billion yen (94 MILLION OPERATING LOSS) because total selling, general and administrative expenses including fixed expenses exceeded gross profit. Ordinary loss was 9.9 billion yen and net loss was 9.9 billion yen (98 MILLION NET LOSS).

The 0.82 million and 0.51 million numbers looks really bad ?!
On 3 months = 13 weeks :
3DS = 63k/week
Wii U = 39k/week
VGchartz numbers april/may/june are 1,5 mil and 0,69 mil, the difference is huge...

Well it would make sense for Wii U sales to be lower in the earlier weeks of the quarter (April-early May) and then pick up to be higher than the median now.
But 3DS ... yeah. VGChartz is probably waaaaay off.
3DS is pretty worrisome for Nintendo. Wonder if they will release another 3DS revision this year, they may not have a choice.
