GameStop explains how 500,000 people were waiting for Wii U while 320,000 bought
"Our initial allocation from Nintendo was not 500,000 units. We never disclosed that number; we only stated that we had reserved thru those units in the first 48 hours of them being offered. NPD reported sales of 463,000 Wii U units in the U.S. in December. That number added with those sold in November brings the LTD total to 888,000." - GameStop statement
In other words, there were people on that waiting list that never put down any cash. They could have purchased a Wii U at another retailer that had stock, or just opted not to buy the system at all.
