Overtracked by 400k in November in the US alone.


Ah here you are! How're you feeling about our bet? X/Y is already going to be more than 2 thirds of the way there by years end!


I'm super confident about our bet, especially when we know how vgchartz overtracks anything Nintendo.


According to this http://www.joystiq.com/2013/12/12/november-npd-ps4-is-top-selling-console-xbox-one-is-fastest/ Nintendo's figures indicated that 3DS sold 770,000 in the US in November and the totals for 3DS surpassed 10.5 million. That means vgchartz overtracked by 238k for the month and about 500k for lifetime sales in the US.

 

However, vgchartz doesn't always overtrack anything Nintendo. For example: end of October vgchartz Wii U global figures 3.83 mil, Nintendo Wii U global figures 3.91 mil.


Nintendo only count the number shipped to retailers, not sold through to consumers. 80k in stock seems awfully low so it is probably still overtracked in that case.

OT: It would need to do a million per week to get there. Not impossible but November numbers suggest it's pretty unlikely without a MASSIVE boost in Japan. I don't think PADZ will shift that much hardware, it will appeal more to existing owners and Zelda is becoming more and more niche in Japan.


Why do people always say this? They're almost always wrong
