I think it'll end march a lot closer to the PS3 than Wii, least it had a decent start.

What do you mean?

Overall, it will be well ahead of PS3 for the launch to March total. Are you referring to its weekly trend?

Sorry I wasn't very clear there.

I think come the end of March it will have sold closer to 2,858,000 (PS3) than 5,837,000 (Wii).

Basically I don't think the WiiU will sell more than 4,347,500 by the end of March

By the End of January I think we'll have a pretty good idea how the year will end and if Wii U will meet Nintendo's goals. So far it's looking good.

I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

Where are you getting 400k in 3 months from?

Its at 2.5m now like you said and by the end of march I don't think it'll be above 4,347,500.

To be above that it needs to average 142,115 for the next 13 weeks. I do not believe this will happen. I think somewhere between 3.5-4m by the end of March will be more realistic

4 million sold and 4.5 million shipped is my guess (as I've stated previously in other threads).
