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.

Which is a terrible metric to gauge whether a launch is "very good" or not. Because it doesn't matter how many you ship if they don't sell. It's fair enough using Shipped for LTD sales, but for a launch... use consumer sales. They could have shipped 5m in 2012, wouldn't have made the launch any better. The WiiU did not have a good launch.
