A Dedicated thread for this rather than derailing threads any further

As others have pointed out the Wii U is tracking is unusually close to the last known shipped numbers.

Wii U

Nintendo global numbers through June 30: 6.68 million
VGC global numbers through June 28: 6.60 million

end of June we have a difference of 60k between shipped and sold, from Mediatecreate/Famitsu we know that 40k of that is in Japan. Leaves 20k for the rest of the entire world.


This would be 80k Units on shelves which is highly unlikely. So the question is, is it overtracked?  If so, by how much?  

ioi, if you're reading this, it should be fixed

You got it wrong, Nintendo shipped 6.68M as of end of March. Wii U is undertracked by atleast 400K and there is proof and was already pointed out, cant currently find the thread.

No, the 6.68m is end of June.

All the info and breakdown is here - http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=864527

As well as Nintendos official website.

No idea why you thought it was end of March.

My mistake, I thought about earlier report, but... MK8 sparked sales of Wii U hw in a big way and retailers ultil then didnt order much Wii Us also you can see that nintendo shipped 3x more Wii Us than last year in same period. Ninty ramped up production and retailers underestimated the demmand a bit, its simple as that. No conspiracy.
