Sadly, it might not be true! Seems too good to be true!

but tlozjb reasoning though

its undertracked though by 300k then since if its 40% up yoy

then its at 3,621,385 units sold in US as of dec 21

guys judging by this wii u is gonna be under tracked no matter what
since it would need to sell 224k units in US this week(which I doubt will be the case with the US figures ending december 20

Well, it is Christmas. It is possible, right?

so is the 1.2 million but like a 5% chance

I´m seeing light at the end of the tunnel? :O I hope this is right! that 1.2 m are hard to believe but 300k or so would make a nice difference between 2013 and 2014. :O

This is the quote:

"Fils-Aime said the Wii U business “is up and up strongly throughout this entire calendar year.” Software sales have almost doubled and hardware sales are up about 40 percent over last year."

Honestly, i think he's just talking about US sales.


Despite the figures being good, they are still not good enough for Wii U.
Wii U had a bad year in 2013. The only system seller was in fact Mario 3D World, with Wind Waker and Pikmin 3 doing some sales lifting. It also had to fight the hype for not one, but two new consoles.
In comparison, this year, the console had MK8, Smash, Hyrule Warriors, DK, Bayonetta 2, Captain Toad (in the US and Japan).

Of course that Wii U this year would have a better year in sales for HW and SW, the problem is that the numbers are still too low. With 2 weeks to go, they would need 700K in sales just to reach last year's numbers.
And that with a better line-up and new consoles on the market.

As much as i like seeing Wii U sell more than last year, it needed to be selling a whole lot more to really secure it's future.

Unless I'm mistaken, I think the next major Wii U game is Kirby in February :/

Well if it is undertracked in US, it most likely is undertracked in EU too. Both regions show similar patterns. Sadly, we can't be 100% sure until NPD/Financial meeting. When is the Q3 meeting by the way?

I hope its undertracked :P
