Yes, I have clearly stated that the Wii U should be dropping in weekly sales during the holidays against all logic and history, haven't I? I think what I have said is a steady climb towards 180-220k average weeks for December and the latter part of November with a peak week during Black Friday of about 350-400k and a real struggle to pass 6 million before year's end. You know that some people were predicting around 400-550k for last week's sales? Even the most pessimistic predictions have been too high, I'm quite frankly stunned at how slowly it's selling.

Are you suggesting that the Wii U's normal, inevitable holiday boost is proof of some sort of comeback? Actually, in your last paragraph, you kind of underline my whole point; the PS3 and 360 have been outselling the Wii U by a whole lot for the entire year and that's not a good sign.

All that aside, yes I am hurt, I'll be crying myself to sleep tonight because of you and your massive sway over my emotional condition (and incredible insight into sales trends and holiday boosts), I hope you're happy!


Are you always on your high horse? Older consoles outselling newer consoles early on is nothing new it has been going on for decades, the previous gen in particular had this issue with the PS2 still going strong early on in the gen and the PS3 and 360 are from a gen that has much more longitivity then previous ones, they'll be here another 1 and half to 2 years easily and you using it as an anchor in your point highlights more jumping the gun, the point was if the U was going to be discontinued anytime soon you wouldn't be having boosts that bring it up to normal sales it'll still be selling the low amounts of before you however just jumped at reading sales going up and have read between lines unless you agree with the OP. Do I care about other people's prediction? F**k no so what does it have to do with me and why are you arguing against their points with me?
