See you call it a pipe dream but out estimates are not that different from one another.
This Q MS will ship around 1.6m+ whilst WiiU around 600k (both could do more) so the shipment gap will be null going into October.
Over the holidays I see MS being a little up yoy thanks to more aggressive moves in the US, October and other countries, so like you, 4.5m. But I only see around 3m for WiiU. Either way it gives XB1 a 1.5m shipped lead which means an inevitable sales lead.

I can't see the Wii U selling less than 3.5 million this holiday. As I stated earlier, they have a significantly stronger holiday lineup (Smash & MK8 along with better bundles), more momentum that the previous holiday and we have yet to see the Ammibo effect.
As for shipments the Wii U only shipping 600k doesn't seem realistic this quarter, considering it is already nearing 500k in sales since June 30th and ahead of the XBO momentarily. I don't forsee sales of the XBO reaching more than 400k for this month and Wii U less than 250k - 300k, which would put the XBO ahead by 100k or so for the quarter.
I guess if M$ over stuff retailers and their stores they could ship 1.6 mill but I can't see the Nintendo shipping under 1 million globally either.

Nintendo shipped 500k last Q with Mario Kart. They were also doing better in Japan, Europe and the US (140k in June last Q down to 80k July).

Yes, however July alone was close to the combined sales of April + May (MK8 boosted the last few days), and August is slightly under July. The Wii U has almost sold 500k in 2 months. Add on September when sales begin to pick up again which I believe Nintendo will at least see 60-65k weeks with around 85k for Hyrule Warriors launch. (Around 750k sales this Q and 1 mill plus for shipments).
