And with that, you've proven yourself to be talking out of your proverbial arse. The Wii U sold 600,000 units in Japan in 4 weeks. It took the Dreamcast a year and a half to do the same thing. In the US, it took 17 months for the Dreamcast to sell 3 million units. The Wii U is on track to beat this, based on most recent sales rates. You know what's funny? The Vita is selling worse than the Dreamcast, by a significant margin now (even in Japan, where handhelds are all the rage). And yet, people like you don't make any comparisons between those two. And yet, based on nothing but your own imagination, you assert that the Wii U is doing worse than the Dreamcast. Notice, by the way, that I make no assertion about the Vita's ability to compete, or whether it's selling well now based on this information. And that's the funniest part about all this. I even explicitly told you that I didn't give a crap about how it had been selling through 2013, that what matters is CURRENT sales patterns. And you immediately return to your own manufactured argument about total sales. Let me put it this way. Suppose that the Wii U sold as many units per week every week since launch as it did in the most recent week of data. This would put it at about 5.8 million units today. Note that I'm ignoring the big sales in the first few weeks from launch. Even if it were selling at the previous week's rate, it would have sold over 4 million by now. So like I said, I'm fine with the current rate of sales. Curious how you can't seem to comprehend words like that. |
its nice that you didn't mention europe because if you did, the wiiu would be tracking behind the dreamcast, look who's yalking from his proverbial arse.
