Wouldn't be surprised if he was talking shipments and/or US only, wouldn't be the first time.

If the Wii U has actually been undertracked by over a million in the last 3 months, with accurate japanese numbers and accurate US numbers until November, then... well then vgchartz is just useless in the holidays...

Seems like he is just talking about US.

When he says "Software sales have almost doubled and hardware sales are up about 40 percent over last year", he is actually talking about Wii U 2013 YTD Jan-Nov to Wii U 2014 YTD Jan-Nov. Wii U YTD 2013 Jan-Nov was 730k, and Wii U YTD 2014 Jan-Nov is 992k That is a 36% increase YoY, so his statement is correct, seeing as he says "about" and not "exactly".

Wii U PR for NPD November said YoY increase was "about" 10%, but it was closer to 8%, so we know Nintendo aren't exact with percentages.

Wii U is not over tracked.

Yep, thanks for that. Reggie doesn't have NPD numbers for Dec yet so this is the obvious conclusion.
