Do you not understand the difference between units shipped and units sold? Those numbers on Wikipedia are from Nintendo's SHIPMENT data. They shipped 3.45 million Wii U units by March 31, 2013, but only 2.7 million of those were actually sold. There were over 700k units that were just sitting on store shelves at that point, because Nintendo wildly overestimated how much they would sell. It's the exact opposite situation as the Switch, which is still sold out in most, if not all major markets. The Switch is significantly ahead of both the Wii U and 3DS as of week 13. 3DS: 2.6 million Wii U: 2.5 million Switch: 4.1 million |
And this with shortages.
