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. 

Could you please link relailers expressing their discontent?

And I assume when you talk publishers you might be thing of Crytek and the all Ryse and its financial crysis(sorry, I couldn´t resist).

The fact is that for VGChartz to be right on XOne sales this quarter the console would close to WiiU last year. And last year, Nintendo already shipped much less quarter over quarter.

Unless Microsoft shipped 1mi 360, why on earth they would be the only ones with 1,5mi consoles in the channel? That is basicaly 5 MONTHS sales!!! on VGChartz numbers.
