Sadly No... Anyway NPD will be out 11 PM in my country.

It will be interesting with Nintendo Direct around the same time and if NPD shows that Wii U sold in USA around the same as VGC estimated or even exceeded VGC estimation which would mean it was undertracked or even NPD at a later time announce that they undertracked Wii U sales even when their stated number hits or exceeds VGC's estimation then it would be a megaton...

If Nintendo Direct today drops a couple of shells or bombs that would create a megaton then expect NeoGAF and other forums crash like with Bayonetta 2 meltdown...

I want this to happen because I want to see a meltdown... >

I expect all three 8th gen consoles to be ever so slightly overtracked, but we must remember that NPD also extrapolate, so their numbers aren't 100% either, most numbers are only spot-on a few months or so after.

I think 360 and PS3 are still being overtracked quite a bit globally, those things are really crashing now.

I don't think the Direct will have any bombs; it will likely be a reassurance show without any big news, I don't think we'll see much exciting gaming news until spring, to be honest. Also; the whole Bayonetta "meltdown" was something I never saw, did people really care? It wasn't exactly a big game on PS360 and even sold quite a bit less than DMC. I liken it more to Darksiders in impact and appeal.

How you didn't saw it? Various forums were crashing or were unavailable after Bayonetta 2 announcement which also announced to be exclusive for Wii U only and people were going like WTF/WTH and twitter literally "exploded"... I mean, how you didn't saw it? I could't open any NeoGAF thread...

Bayonetta is considered to be a mature game and not fit for Nintedno and their "casual" fans that love "kiddie" games yet Nintendo funded it and did something that a lot of so called "hardcore"(more kiddie than hardcore, those wanna-be's) not possible to comprehend. The impossible happened. Its simple as that.

The PS4 kind of almost killed the PS3.

Nah, PS4 didn't do that specifically, the PS3 price did though. Seriously, over 7 years in and it's still $249.99-$269.99 for a decent model. No one's buying that crappy 12GB model. Both Sony and Microsoft should have dropped the price on the higher end models last year.

I blame the power of the Cell
