So you have no proof? Ok thank you, that's all I needed to know. It is normal for bombing consoles to have very low stock.

Eh, what? The proof is in the Nintendo shipment numbers. I hope you have seen them. It's not normal for consoles to have less than 3 weeks of stock, bombing or not. 

Again, it's overtracked by 100k in the US. So it would be around 5 weeks of shipments. So yes, it would be a bit more normal. You don't really think that we have europe overtracked by 300-400k? 

Sales data is suggesting that it's not overtracked as badly as you're saying. 

I said ~300k overtracked and by that I meant in total. So 100k US, maybe another 100 or 150k in Europe. ROW another 100k

What sales data are you talking about? NPD and Japan lol? There's a whole world out there.

Japan and NA make up for 60%-70% wiiU sales. Then you have Europe which is another 20%-25% and then there is ROW that is another 5-10%.  You said 300k was a conservative number and that it's likely overtracked by 500k+. I'm just telling you that it's factually impossible that it's overtracked by that much. Maybe 250k-300k tops. 



Predictions for LT console sales:

PS4: 120M

XB1: 70M

WiiU: 14M

3DS: 60M

Vita: 13M

ok, I though it could very by year, depending on what day of the week the month starts on.

Now being able to look at it I see the in 2006 July started on Saturday, So the June NPD that year was likely only 4 weeks while July would be 5 and 2007 July Started on Sunday so I wouldn't imagine it being a 4 week month either.  2001 it also started Sunday so another likely 5 week month, while 2002 on a Monday would probably have been 4. Last year I also believe was a 4 week month.

It may vary sometimes, but if it does I imagine it's not common. The most likely reason the third month of each quarter is a 5-week month is that it gives each quarter an equal 13 weeks apiece (4+4+5=13), which is the standard duration of a quarter, with the year being 52 weeks (+1 day, 2 on leap years) long.

I'll have to look into it further. Though I don't see how they could be consistent year to year. Without ending months early and I don't recall ever seeing that

These are America sales numbers and considering these are based on one title not too shabby for Wii U. I got to find the a small silver lining somewhere. After all, this was posted to emphasise how in America Xbox One is selling second best NOT Wii U.

What? Still no 3DS numbers?!


From that pie chart that creamsugar released, it looks like more than the Wii U, but less than the XBox One. I'd guess like 105k or something. 

Oh, OK! I guess that's not too bad for the 3DS!

Can't knock VGC this month, their numbers are pretty good. This also shows that the X1 price cut is closing the gap a little. With COD bundles it might be a fairly even holiday. It's going to be interesting.

You know how PS4 dominates when some guys said "but PS4 will only be above One by 45k in US in August, I'm sure". Being pleased by a defeat anyway in MS home territory said it all.

Destiny's month will be perfect.

Dat PS4. And dat Destiny's bundle always here

Yep and the X1's bundles are inexorably going down

Was it already posted that TLoU:R sold ~270k?



Won bet with t3mporary_126 - I correctly predicted that the Wii U's LTD at the end of 2014 would be closer to 9 million than 10 million. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6673287

When did I say that it was likely overtracked by 500k+? I meant that it likely has 10 weeks of stock on shelves, which would be 500k+ or about 300-350k overtracked.

How is that factually impossible? You're looking at sales ratios from VGC, how does that in any way help you when we're talking about VGC itself overtracking?

Don't think so. Does that include the bundles?
