You want to believe that they were not...

Brazil + Mexico video game market are worth 2.4B$ together which is 10% of US market, Wii U is apparently most popular 8th gen console in SA(specially Brazil)... So in Americas as of 30th September there could be 3,324M Wii U's sold so 110K stock/ on the shelves...

In Japan as of 28th September there are 1.92M sold(Famitsu) out of 1.97M shipped so 40-50K in stocks...

150-160K Wii U in stocks Americas + Japan...

So Europe has 140-150K Wii U's in stock? Impossible... Europe video game market is half size of US...

Maximum Wii U in stock for Europe is 50-60K ...

So 200-220K max on shelves...

Don't forget Europe is bigger than the US. Even if not as many consoles are sold there that still means just as many shops that need to be stocked with consoles...

Also, you are making ALOT of assumptions with the Americas.

Nintendo shipped 150K in Other regions which includes Europe...
