January last year was 57k in US, this year VGC has 109k? Why the 100% YoY increase?

Down 38k YOY in Japan, it's possible that WiiU is down WW as well.


You were the one claiming that December was overtracked, and as it turned out it was infact undertracked. Now you're doing the same thing for January eh?

Also in December of 2012 was it launch period, ofcourse it would sell well than, compare December 2013 to November 2013 and you'll see that all those factored in it having the biggest increase from all consoles( Percentage wise ofcourse).

December was an anomoly.

You must be slightly mad for saying that, how is it an anomaly?

Nintendo issued a price drop from 350$ to 300$ for Deluxe SKU that has 32GB of storage with one or two games bundled with it and Super Mario 3D World was released on November 22nd which is a big triple A title from Nintendo and most anticipated title on Nintendo's console in 2013. Wii U got plenty of software in Q3 and Q4 of 2013 when the game drought ended. Even Wii Party U pushed sales of the Wii U...

Software sells hardware, that is why some people in fact choose to get Xbox One over PlayStation 4 for example...

People bought original PlayStation because of software and not hardware over Nintendo 64 and same thing with PlayStation 2 over Xbox then Wii over Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 because of software. Software sells hardware... It is simple as that.

Because all of those measures were taken before December, yet they were down YOY in November (massively I might add) and down again in January. December was a blip, and now it's back to normal (which is being down YOY).

All I see is you throwing bunch of excuses, you say its anomaly because you want to see it and believe it that way rather than accept the facts that it wasn't an anomaly because each action has an reaction. 

Right. Why was it down in Nov nearly 50% and down again in Jan this year then? Not to mention, it was basically flat in December, up like 40k? (less than 10%).
