wii u had a damn good holiday, all things considered. and so did nintendo's bottom line.

1,910,000 Wii U's shipped in a holiday quarter is good now?  How bad did you expect Wii U to shit?

relative to its performance so far, you mean? ...uh, yeah, it's on par with 2013's holiday quarter with its strongest december on record (per nintendo). second part of your post seems pretty damn unnecessary tho.

I'm not sure why people praise the WiiU tracking, 300k on shelves is nothing, usually inventory levels are about 1.5m. Sure, Nintendo sells to less countries and the WiiU is selling pretty slowly, so it should have lower inventory levels, but I expect it to be at least at 600-800k.

so they have on shelves right now more than 50% of what they sold in the whole year so far? how exactly does that work out? it's not as if retailers are falling over themselves ordering wii u's to sell... there are ~300k, tops 500k (unlikely) on shelves, meaning the tracking is indeed dead on.
