How bad was wiiU last month that people are predicting 30k or less?
I mean what was the major game of the month?
Fuse? DKCR3D? RE:R?

Around ~37,000 for April.
I'm wondering how much truth is in Iwata's recent words...

Shouldn't this mean 3DS sales will be higher than last year's May?
Yeesh
Given that 3DS unit sales were only 115,000 last May, that really shouldn't be a tough task.
Fuse? DKCR3D? RE:R?
Last year for instance we had Diablo III and Max Payne. Ghost Recon Future Soldier as well.

That means that the 3DS outsold the 360.
MS PR said:In May, Xbox 360 sold 114,00 units, more than any other console in the U.S. May marked the 29th consecutive month that Xbox 360 was the best-selling console in the U.S.
May 2013 NPD highlights:

On May 21, Microsoft introduced the world to Xbox One. Last week at E3, Xbox One showcased a new generation of gaming with exclusive titles like Forza Motorsport 5, Ryse: Son of Rome, Killer Instinct, Dead Rising 3 and more. In addition, Chief Marketing and Strategy Officer, Yusuf Mehdi, introduced the new Xbox 360 on the Xbox stage, which sports a sleek and stylish design that aligns with the new Xbox One family and will continue to drive Xbox 360 sales.
The E3 Xbox briefing drove consumer excitement for Xbox One, which has seen impressive pre-order sales; Amazon sold through most of their day one inventory in the first four hours of availability.

It's time to release Revelations 2!Woah, impressive for DKCR and particularly Luigi. Software seems strong across the world by this point.
I wonder how much of a bump Animal Crossing will cause. 3DS undoubtedly has a great library at this point and deserves a spike in sales.
Uh oh... no hard numbers.

This console transition is reminiscent of PS1 to PS2; at least, the numbers make it look that way. My kids were in diapers in 2000, btw
There was at least two instances where it was thought that 3DS outsold 360 because MS using "console", but both cases were proven false.
