650k in Japan
320k in Gamestop only... X3 for rest of stores = 1M for US/AUS
Then a few hundred thousand more for Canada and EU... easily hits the 2.5m VGC estimates.

Where did you get the 1 Million from?

"320k in Gamestop only... X3 for rest of stores"

320k in Gamestop stores only according to this report.

times 3 to account for rest of stores in US/Australia as a rough estimation bring us to about 1M for US/AUS total.

i believe ~2k stores of gamestop aren't in usa or australia but i also think vgc will be pretty close to real numbers.

Okay, let's get this started properly.


I thought Gamestop had 500,000 WiiU preorders? They only sold 320,000 total since launch?


haha I asked the same question when wii u sold liek 400K first week.

Which is why everyone predicted around 700K-800K first week sales as gamestop claimed they had 500k preorders and since they only represent about 30% marketshare.
