Holy fuck.

I just can't even begin to imagine how low that is. How can anyone even stretch towards finding this almost passable?

Well I guess there's some comedy in it.

The Wii shipped 3.43 million in the equivalent quarter in 2007, so that's almost 22x the Wii U shipment, lol. And that was almost certainly with hardware restrained.

The tale of Wii vs. Wii U couldn't be any more different to date.

These numbers are completely irrelevant unless you have the actual sales figures as well, which still shows over 12 weeks supply. So if anything, this shows that we are under tracking the Wii U.

The Wii U was overshipped, and this is making up for it. It's still disastrous, but without putting sales figures there it means actually very little. Unless you're trying to say that the Wii U sold below 10k in 3 months outside of Japan and America, of course.

Will you believe the wiiu is screwed when Nintendo shut down the production lines?

it seems people here are in denial.

It seems someone was bursting with excitement to post this negative Wii U thread.

This is atrocious. Especially Europe. I'm sure it will start selling better as of now, but I don't see anything between Christmas and Mario Kart to maintain momentum. Hopefully we get some new announcements and dates for the big hitters of 2014 soon.

So bad. Hopefully, Nintendo is learning lessons from this. Don't release a console if you aren't ready to support it properly.

They must have shipped alot of them initially to not be needing to replenish the selves, Id imagine outlets thought they would have needed alot of stock and are just struggling to shift it all.
