( By the way, only 7k wii u units have left on the French stores by now, 20k in Japan for reference, so shipments/sales gap is tiny )
742k + 89k 2015+2016
Apropos, I thought Mario kart 8 had sold 500k as of june 2015!
According to the same person...

Has the journalist made a typographical error?
The more interesting thing for me, is the 3ds sales forecast, 700k in the 7th year, as much as last year, ( close to switch first year sales expectation, not surprising though , 3DS is way cheaper and switch has no backwards compatability )... 3DS will have sold 5.4m as of 2017 if it manages to push 700k units in 2017 again.
What does that forecast hints? Price drop? Big games on the way? Or simply Pokémon go and S/M momentum ( and perhaps more boost from the other mobile games, like super Mario run )? Well they expect another 450k pokemon s/m units to be sold, added to the 806k that they sold at retail in Nov-Dec 2016.
