It looks like the Wii U actually got adjusted up slightly in the period before July.  So based on VGC/MC/Famitsu numbers, we have a pretty reliable number for Wii U units on shelves in Japan.  That means the rest of the world outside of Japan only had ~19k Wii Us with 2 days left in the quarter according to VGC.  Considering VGC shows the Wii U selling 58,145 outside of Japan in those two days plus the first 5 in July, it seems very unlikely that supplies were actually that low.

Also since I already have the numbers open, I think the 3DS got adjusted down a little bit, but probably not enough.  The shipped sold gap in Japan makes up 75% of the overall Worldwide gap.  I doubt there were less than two weeks of supply for countries outside of Japan at the end of the quarter.

I really don't get why these errors seem to persist for so long, and often get even worse.

Nintendo shipped 6.68m units at the end on June. For that quarter they shipped 510k (170ka month) with the introduction of mk8 bundle. If Nintendo had 100% sell through, which would mean ridiculous supply constraint, ridiculous low sales due to that and basicallybe unbelievable, Nintendo would need to ship at least 320k (160k a month) in the previous two months without mk8 bundle. It's unrealistic and anyone with a reasonable thought process would come to the conclusion that it's way overtracked.

Not sure why ioi hasn't corrected the figures, it's patantly obvious they're overtracked. Whereas we don't actually have any solid proof XB1 is.

Wii U shipped nearly 7 million in June. August had pretty good sales, 50+K a week. Therefore it really is at least 7M.

Unless the 50K a week was actually 20K or so, which seems very very unlikey to me.

6.68 + 50(x 4) = 6.88. However it clearly was above 60K for at least 2 of the weeks so that alone makes it at 7 million. Edit: Wait for offiical numbers instead of arguing over everything for weeks...

Probably doesn't know where to adjust, just like with the PS4.
