PS4 did really well considering it launched in off season without games. Or Wii U did really bad, don't know which.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

My word, the drama in this thread.

Just admit you're wrong on this one occasion, Max, and move on. Plenty of people have managed it in the past.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

PS4 bad, more of Wii U, with or without games...

What you are currently doing is comparing December sales with March sales and pretending those months are equal.

Wii U dropped dead the moment it left holiday season. PS4 dropped dead just after the launch because it was off season. In no way I see Wii U being better in any way. Let's talk again if the Wii U manages to outsell the PS4 in December.

I see this topic has turned into a jerkfest and the mod's warning hasn't helped. Looks like some reporting is needed.

This December, with smash bros Wii U outsell easy PS4 with nothing.

Probabily 120,000-150,000 versus 30,000-50,000 the week before chrismas, for one report 3:1 or even 5:1... and i'm octimist with PS4, because Vita in December 2012 have sold less of 20,000, and Vita is a console portable.

Even in 2015 for me Wii U will sell muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch more of PS4... up to for PS4 not coming the japan games, PS4 don't outsell never Wii U.



I guess Mario Kart didn't help Wii U if it's still below 10k.

Famitsu superior tracker and all



Won bet with t3mporary_126 - I correctly predicted that the Wii U's LTD at the end of 2014 would be closer to 9 million than 10 million. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6673287

Completely not the point he made, the Wii U launched in December, that's why it held stronger for a couple more weeks, the comparison between the launch periods of the PS4 and Wii U is completely nonsensical if all you do is look at the numbers without context.



VITA ABOVE 3M !!!!!!!!! Congrats !
Nice opening for FW, meh for Watch Dogs (a western game anyways).
The Taiko series always have decent FW and great legs. so 50k is good.
