Why do people still think XB1 is going to fall to WiiU levels?

That's not much to go by.The Wii U didn't have a system seller like Titanfall early on. Without Titanfall X1 levels wouldn't be nearly as high. Let's wait for May. If it still sells that well by then I might consider.

Titanfall had not been released during prior months, if anything people would have waited to get the free game and the sales would be less. Nice try.

Oh... again with the US = The world thing? Yeah... thats some good reasoning... lol

Here is what i think is alot more likely:

One of two scenarios.

First: They actually undertracked in january and tried to make up for it in february.

Second: After the negative numbers of January. Microsoft agressively aproached these guys and worked their way forcing shipped numbers into them.

I personally find the numbers extremely questionable. Howcome theres such a big difference from january to february? Nothing special happened. That makes the numbers looks extremely fishy to me. Why the sudden jump? 60k numbers aswell. Its extremely fishy.

Hahaha, of course you do. "I don't like these numbers thefore they're fishy and MS paid NPD to up them" do me a favour. Those are the figures and you're gonna have to deal with it.

Using america only figure for XB1 does WiiU a favour, if you want to add the rest of the world to XB1 it only serves to prove my point further.

Your atempt at humor fails. Either that or you didnt bother to read your own thread. Funny that you would make the same remark.

I accept the numbers as much as i accept the ones from January. Yet i am able to question their validity as much as i want.

NPD/=VGC figures, learn the difference. You can question the validity but it just looks ridiculous and like you don't want to admit the truth (that the numbers are legit).

In time you'll come to agree tho.

And Wii U isn't up slightly. It's selling up 100% over last year. With MK8 coming soon I expect that to continue for the year and the system could sell 6-7 million. That's also where I see XBOne.

What? No it isn't.

VGC has the Wii U at 447k for the first nine weeks of the year. Last year the same time period was 417k. That is only up 7%. The most recent week isn't up 100% either.

Media Create and Famitsu numbers show the Wii U down in Japan. Both for the year and the most recent week.

NPD shows the Wii U at 131k in the first two months, last year was 123k. Only up 6.5%. Even if you are only counting February, that is just up 24%.
