DélioPT said: From what i have read so far, Wii U numbers seem to be a bit off - although i don`t know if by using NPD for the quarter, how the numbers would end up beeing; Comparing it to last year, it`s way, way better (it had sold 160K last year for the first quarter) and a good sign for Wii U for this fiscal year. 3DS is waaay off. It seems 2DS didn`t have the effect Nintendo desired - i think. 3DS sold a lot less than Q1 2013 because 3DS XL had just launch. Vgchartz had MK8, by July 5th, at 2,018,823. In the whole month of June, plus the 1-2 days of May, Nintendo sold 2.82mil. Either MK8 sold more than vgchartz thinks, or the digital numbers are immense!

and that there should be alot of Mario Kart 8 copies on shelves, remember this number is shipped, not sold.

Aren`t these numbers always sold to consumers?
Still, retailers aren`t known for ordering a lot of Wii U stuff, be it games or consoles.
Even if the game had sold around 200k online, 500k had to be in stores. Seems a lot for Wii U.
