Can u be more specific? Was it from a reliable poster with a good track record like CreamSugar or just random Gaffers?

Aquamarine, she has pretty much a perfect track record when it comes to these things. 

Call me distrustful, but I'll say that I have a little trouble believing one Neogaffer's posts when it comes to sales, regardless of how good of a track record they have.

Wii U only selling 50K in a month is beyond silly. That would mean it's legitimately selling less on average per week than it did during the summer of last year, when it had literally no games whatsoever until Pikmin 3. Nintendo's own numbers for the year were 3.2 million, I believe, so at the very least, those aren't in dispute.

And while VGC is certainly not the most reliable of sales predictors, overtracking them by five times the amount is simply ridiculous. And along with that...consoles don't go from having historically high months to selling 12.5K per week in the span of a 30 day time frame.

I really don't care if you believe me or not. These numbers are solid and there's a reason why we trust them so much.
