Well, given there are only 20k on shelves/transit in Europe/US end of June, I very much doubt it.

Sorry, but can you clarify for me exactly what shipped figures you're giving me. Are they quarterly shipped figures? Annual shipped figures?

Why would it be annually? I'm talking LTD end of June compared to what VGC has end of June

You mean these numbers?

Official: XOne - 5M shipped by March 30, 2014 + part of 1.1M shipped in the April-June quarter (XOne +X360)

        Wii U - 6.68shipped by June 30, 2014

VGChartz: XOne - ~4.6M sold by June 28, 2014; ~5M sold by June 28, 2014 

    Wii U - ~6.6M sold by June 28, 2014; ~7.1M sold by August 23, 2014

Yes.

Well then that doesn't change very much. I think we can agree that the Wii U is somewhat overtracked due to being suspiciously close to the shipped numbers. However, I don't think it's by very much as retailers are likely asking for less stock in the first place due to lower demand. The gap is shipped figures looks like it will close, but, as we`ve observed in the past few months, Microsoft has had trouble selling through shipments, to which retailers andpublishers have expessed their discontent. Tough competition with the PS4 has driven down sales to levels comparable to that of the Wii U, and though new releases should spur sales, it`s questionable as to whether they would drive them to overtake the Wii U by a considerable margin in just four months.
