Yes you did, with the "Don't trust VGC figures" gibe. I already said about the 60k on shelves but it seems it's even less. So why would I (or anyone else believe them)?? I use and believe VGC figures when they make sense.

Shipped they will pretty much be on par by end of September (XB1 6.5m - 7.2m vs WiiU's 7.1m - 7.4m).

I am still betting on XB1 technically (shipment wise, so official) overtaking by end of September. Depends how September goes.



So what makes you think Nintendo won't just ship more, or already have????

whity ninty shipped 810k gamecube for july-sept of 2003,so she could the same for wii u in  july-sept 2014

Yet another one of these threads that is going to look super silly in a matter of weeks.

WiiU won't be ahead ever again come this holiday.

So you're saying X1 will close the 2m gap by the end of this year?

There is no 2m gap. XB1 will be ahead by a mile. Europe and US will be in its favour which will far eclipse WiiU Japan sales.

since xone is 300k overtracked vs wii u 100k, the difference is 2.2m.

it's cute that you think it's doing better and europe. but it matters not wii u will sell more than xone everywhere during holidays. and globally, it will outsell xone before holiday period.

Ugh, this hurts my head. So because they shipped that for Gamecube (which was a different console, in a different landscape, with different rivals, and different software) WiiU could do the same?

WiiU hasn't matched any Gamecube shipments so far AFAIK?

I don't understand why people think the XB1 is going to sell like crazy this holiday. It had a nice launch but sales have been abysmal since then, even after Titanfall and a 25% price cut. There just isn't much consumer interest in it outside of NA, a market it is losing.

Nobody thinks it's going to sell like crazy, just better than WiiU. Which by comparison has done awful pretty much all its life. Even the MK boost (which is a far far bigger property than Titanfall) did naff all for sales.

That and not all is as seems here.

XB1 has outshipped WiiU every Q it's been out, and will continue to so going forward.

Now you ignore the MK8 boost, typical.

I'm just here to say: I absolutely HATE sales threads.



Impossible. XBO will surpass Wii U before 2016 at the latest.

Yep, you're right. It's a 2.1 million gap.

It's not 2.1m either. Before even talking about WiiU being overtracked. (unless you think there is 60k on shelves end of June outside of Japan.) Shipments ultimately mean whether a console is in the lead or not.

The gap (sold) is around 1.7m IMO, maybe less.

biggest denial ever.

no,wii u only  won q2 2014  against q2 2003 of gamecube!it s obvious that ninty will ship more in this quarter!



Tagging. The last bumped thread about Xbox being way ahead of Wii U in weekly sales was so fun.
