Nintendo shiped 3m Wii U consoles at launch, and Wii U was sold out, fact is that Wii U had quite good launch, terible sales started after launch, but even than Nintendo thouth that Wii U will start selling much better.

They did not sell 3m units to consumers in 2012... All that article says is they were "often" sold-out at stores... in America... one week after launch.

They shipped 3m and that's ofical number, Nintendo always using ship number, Wii U is currently at 13.5m shiped consoles also.
