Well based on little research by Jan.2013 in the U.K media report they sold 40k-80k units. Another report mentioned 3 month (Mar.-Jun. which was considered a low) sales figures at 160,000 which is a slice of the over all picture. Given this little info Wii U sold either 275k-548k or 1.096 million if work with the low 3 month sales point. I'm inclined to use the lowest 3 month sales point.

LOL!

They're not confident it would sell in the numbers they want on its own; the numbers being same as X1, would be a correct assumption. Its not a must have item for most gamers.
