I'm not that pimped by wiiu sales, since i don't see something below 200K getting then act different. The thing is that I don't remember any time in history where 2 direct concurrent released in the exact same year in the exact same regions. The comparassion between x1 and PS4 will aways be accurate, since they are release in the same conditions, so it will be really fun to watch.



"Hardware design isn’t about making the most powerful thing you can.
Today most hardware design is left to other companies, but when you make hardware without taking into account the needs of the eventual software developers, you end up with bloated hardware full of pointless excess. From the outset one must consider design from both a hardware and software perspective."

Funny thing about this npd figure is it doesn,t really matter.
Why?
Because both are sold out so they sold what they produced.

Rumor has it that MS has better supply.

Yeah but they launched globally whereas Sony went USA first.

Chances are 4 will have better numbers stateside.

Really? I can't remember a year where everything truly changed.

Every year the adjustments from the BF to end of December are massives like 2012.

-372.921
-283.536
-882.792
-528.465
-137.279
-377.231

I won´t give the plataforms

What are Vita's actual numbers like? How much undertracked it is it? (... or overtracked?)

Only one platform was really bad. I can understand why the Wii was tough because it had such a poor 2012.

It's always funny to looks at NPD numbers after BF. A lot of threads are created bragging about some sales figures and comparisons based on the VGC data (that can be pretty off on BF/Hollydays) and then, one week later... everything changes...

Well, it won't change everything, but sometimes if one console is 150k overtracked and the other is 100k undertracked it's enough to invalidate a lot of threads. If I'm remebering it right, Vita last year was something like 40% undertracked on USA after BF.

 

Would be so funny



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

Funny how patcher avoids 3ds numbers seen as though he seems to know them all.....
