There is nothing to suggest WiiU will be up YoY in January, and nowhere near to the point of what he's expecting. WiiU is doing poorly, it's not having a resurgance, January sales will reflect that just like they did last year. Need I remind you, 57k in the US last year. It's going to deviate far from that either way.

No he didn't. I already explained why WiiU is getting a higher percentage boost (which means absoloutely nothing) when the sheer numbers are so low.

Both systems had very similar baselines (vita/wiiU). One took off (relatively) and the other one didn't. So if wiiU wen't from a similar (or even lower) baseline then the vita to almost doubling vita weekly sales. What is that called if it's not momentum. Also, since vita had a similar baseline as the wiiU, why didn't it get the same (or a similar) average boost every week?

As for you're second point, wiiU is following an unprecedented sales patern. We really don't know what will happen in January, but his prediction is certainly not an impossibility.

Then Vita is more fucked than WiiU? What's your point??? This doesn't magically mean WiiU sales are amazing or that it has momentum because Vita is selling worse.

It's not impossible for WiiU to sell 10 million in a week. It'll never happen tho.

Oh, Machina wanted me to post this in response.

Step 1: Have a horrible sales month in October
Step 2: Have a horrible November/Black Friday sales month
Step 3: Pretend that the horrible holiday bump you got was a big deal because of how many more units you sold than in the prior month. But use percentages instead of number to make it sound better.
Step 4: Ignore the fact that in addition to the two new consoles destroying you in sales you also got soundly beaten by two 8 year old consoles
Step 5: Record breaking January.
