If the rumour is true it also stated NIntendo are winding down wii u console sales with 2015 being its last Christmas and they are expecting about 2 million sales taking it to about 12 million in total.

This will mean serious discounting as they clear out stock at the end. Expect to see good offers in the January sales.

That rumour is for producing of new Wii U consoles only in 2015, we dont know how many Wii U console Nintendo already have in stock, so this rumour means nothing.

I think that is sales rather than production. I don't think they manufactured any wii u consoles for a long time. The white wii u stopped production ages ago but we still see them in retail in the UK and other wii u bundles appeared to be re-packaged product rather than new product as the wii u manufacturing date was older. 12 million approx may actually be the combined number of wii u's sold, stock at retail and stock that Nintendo still has in warehouses.

Digitimes have sources with manufacturers so based on that they talking about numbers of device that will be produced in future, also in article they talked about production numbers for NX so we can assume they also talked about production of Wii U too.

 

Abou that that they dont manufactured any wii u consoles for a long time:

WiiU target of 3.6m units will need more manufactured than in current inventory, no loss from hardware any more, more games at E3
