| toastboy44562 said: It would seem the even though we are seeing holiday boosts from older generation systems the Wii U is actually losing sales week on week. Is this a bad sign for what is to come? With the PS4 skyrocketing the charts and Xbox one about to do the same we can expect Wii U sales to stagnate this holiday season. |
"Wii U is actually losing sales week on week" - I suppose, if you look at only two weeks total, you might think that.
Wii U sales decreased by a relatively small 13% between the week of the 2nd and the week of the 9th. All of this is due to a decrease in Japan, which doesn't typically see a particularly big holiday season. In America, Wii U sales are up 43% week on week. In Europe, it's up 40% week on week.
And if you look at the week-on-week before it, Wii U saw a 149% increase. So the two-week average increase is a 47% increase week on week (not a linear average, but the result if you assume the same week-on-week percentage increase in both weeks).
Much of that 149% increase was due to Japan, too. But in America, there was a 38% increase, and in Europe, it was a 17% increase.
So when it comes down to it, your initial claim was just plain wrong. And this invalidates your entire argument, since it's the crux, the foundation stone on which you base the entire argument that the Wii U is heading for total irrelevance.
