Comparing the Wii U launch to the PS360 is funny, can't you nintnedo fans (its the recurring theme for them the last 6 weeks) wait 10 months to make actual, practical, comparsions; next gen to next gen, or is that the only way to make you guys feel better?  

If you look up the analyst and his company online you will see he doesnt cover Nintendo, Sony or Microsoft, so this is projections based for Gamestop.  And Nintendo reports earnings on January 21st so we will get a sense of what they expect then, not march.  And im sure he would not be making these assumptions so early in the new year if he did not have any information or data from gamestop themselves about their Wii U projections, so no, no one is overracting.

Everyone will compare Wii U launch numbers to the new consoles when they come out, obviously.  For now, we have historical data, which is what EVERYONE compares to, not just "Nintendo fans", so just stop!  And Nintendo said it wants to ship 5.5 million by March, not 5.5 million by January 21st.  That's the only expectation that matters here.  And I guess Gamestop is the only retailer that carries Wii U now, according to your thought process, so yes, getting unsubstantiated opinion (which is what it is with no quantitative value) from one analyst based on one retailer and crying doom is overreacting.

And not everyone is so emotionally involved in console sales like you are, so please... stop projecting (like you always do).  In conclusion, I notice you cry a lot in these threads; and like I said to you before, try not to let what "Nintendo fans" say bother you so much.  ;)  Good day!

Please try not to refer to someone's complaints as crying in the future.  I'm pretty sure that you wouldn't like it if someone did the same to you.
