Last week Nintendo lowered their forecast for this year to 13 million 3DS and 2.8 million Wii-U. Mind you these would be shipped numbers. However VGChartz has the following numbers as sold to consumers up to 11 January:

Sales from 31 March 2013 to January 11 2014:

Wii-U: 2,689,254

3DS: 12,083,160

With 11 weeks to go that would mean that Wii-U would only sell 10k a week and 3DS only about 85k a week. If we look at last year we can probably expect atleast 45k a week for Wii-U and 140k a week for 3DS. With VGChartz current numbers that would bring the total of Wii-U to almost 3.2 million(against 2.8 million shipped) and the 3DS to over 13.7 million(against 13 million shipped).
