Good advice, could you please follow it yourself? I'm getting tired of seeing you gloat about bad Wii U sales in just about every thread. I didn't see nearly as many people getting worked up about Driveclub being overtracked in North America. or the PS4 in general.

I'm not gloating, I also didn't see nearly as many people trying to twist those leaks/numbers into "well maybe it's just some dude making stuff up", with Bayo 2 on the other hand you have people left and right acting as if vgchartz is now more accurate than the NPD or that the leaks are just fake.

Sorry that I just get annoyed by people doing that BS.

You do realize Tecmo Koei said they have shipped more than a million units and from what I see as of January 3rd it is at 890,000 give or take a few. So you don't think it has sold 10,000 in month world wide? Maybe you should think before you attack.

Are you serious? First and foremost vgchartz has the game at 840k as of January 3rd, secondly if Tecmo just announced 1 mil shipped then we can assume that they just crossed 1 million shipped and thirdly what in the world are you talking about with that 10k number? Do you realize that even 890k is 110k away from 1 million? Do you realize that a vgchartz update is a week and not a month? What the heck are you even talking about?

Yeah I realize that my math was wrong after I posted it. Too bad for some reason you do not like me so you attack me on every thing I post but I'm fine because I can defend myself. Did I make math mistake and now look foolish yes but I do not you talking crap on me every chance you get. #keyboardbrave

The highest DW game also sold over a million in Japan, 3 million is completely impossible unless Nintendo somehow decides to forcebundle the game.

Or maybe it can leg it out? Just a thought. Games are more frontloaded in Japan than in the west.

Yeah of course, if you want to believe that. I hope you understand that you're only setting yourself up to be mocked in the future here right? There's absolutely nothing supporting the idea of this game selling 3 million on its own.

Ignoring Carl is not a good idea, DerNebel, Dolphan.

Lest we need to bust some heads.

3mil will happen lifetime................................. BELIEVE!

I think 2mil if only legs are that good. I think this game is outpacing most of the DW games, and the highest sold 2mil-2.2mil. 3mil is unrealistic though, unless this game pulls a tomodachi.

The highest DW game also sold over a million in Japan, 3 million is completely impossible unless Nintendo somehow decides to forcebundle the game.

I get that highest sold over1mil in japan (while HW will probably end up 160k-170k lifetime there), but It has the west to see its high sales unlike all/most of the Musou games there. Surprisingly, this type of game usually has no legs (or just s little) overall, yet HW is seemingly surpassing expectations, also with more support through dlc (yes i kno others have dlc too

That said, im not saying it wll even get close to 3mil, im just hopng 2mil and thats if it reaches that. That said, its not exactly completely impossible, after seeing many things in this industry you be surprised. Only way of course to make that is if the west keeps on legging this game out, something nintendo 1st party games are known for, and with All the Zelda characters on the cover, you can bet its not going down so easily...

(Don forget i dont think it'll happen either, im just telling you to keep an open mind. Tomodachi FW sales were like under 40k in Europe first week, who would of thought it hit 1mil so fast there
