Wii U hardware sales are actually over 3 million, maybe 3.5 million now.


Yes, and?

As per the charts, the WiiU is starting to lose ground each week and month to what the X360 and PS3 did. Unless the games you listed move lots of people to buy the WiiU, its going to continue to fall behind.

In 2006, the Xbox 360 was selling about 350,000 - 400,000 units per month from January through October. The Wii sold a total of 400,000 units combined in January and February, with February seeing a huge drop to 130,000 units. Even if you believe VGC is off a bit, its still lower than the 360, and trending downward.

If that ~130,000 monthly units persisted, then the X360-WiiU gap is going to grow considerably, just like the PS3-WiiU gap. Publishers are not going to like that one bit.


Well, we are suppose to be looking at the first 1 month sales, and then wait for the first 6 months sales followed by the first 12 & 18 mons sales follow by first 2 & 3 years sales and every year after the first 2 years. So the analysis isn't even being done correctly to accurately measure the sales of a video game system, as history has shown.

We are suppose to be going like this

1 month =

6 month =

12 month = 

18 months =

2 years =

3 years =

I really hope you're joking. If we have more data, why should we limit it to arbitrary intervals?

LOL.
I mean if you want to predict the future of a Video game system then this is the best formula to get accurate predictions of FUTURE Sales. You pin point these spots that have already happen and based the future of the console on that. It's been proven by history.


I hope you're being serious. You've brightened my very hungover morning up greatly :).
