It means it is closer to 10 million than it is to 0...

Which doesn't say much because 5.1 million is closer to 10M than to 0... :S

So that means that Wii U has shipped nearly 10 million then :)

Haha, yep

And actually, Major Nelsen didn't use the word "nearly". He said "approaching", which is an even more ambiguous term.
