It isnt weak cause you say so. There are several factors we dont have info on and the Wii U had a spurt of sales with mk8. Its quite probable that Nintendo had surplus stock from last year since it brought them losses. Since they didnt have need to ramp up production, there isnt the need to report production values to investors and they can have easily met demand.
The fact of the matter is, VGC has acess to data we dont have and Nintendo can easily have shipped more consoles they had on inventory, not seeing the need to announce it as it would be a reminder of last years blunder. All these certainties are premature until Nintendo reveals the shipments for the following quarter.
Until then you are just speculating.

And VGC has, several times, had more sold to consumers than what has been physically shipped. Most typically Nintendo hardware as well (historically, go look back at VGC history if you think I'm making it up).
This might as well be another scenario, it's borderline no WiiU stock in the wild.

We think it "might" be, looking at last quarters number. You say it with a certainty that you dont have to give because we dont know what the shipment numbers are for this quarter.
Just because vgc has been wrong in the past is not proof that they are wrong now. We suspect, but we cant be sure. That is why what padib said is sensible.

This Q has nothing to do with how the numbers stand end of June. Unless you of course think WiiU is undertracked this Q (July/August 200k). That's a whole other kettle of fish and nothing suggests that obviously.
We're already looking at Nintendo needing to ship around 1.1m WiiU's just for there to be 300/400k on shelves end of September (if the current 55k a week VGC rate keeps up).
