Do you still think WiiU can outsell Gamecube? (US: Second January, GC: 81k Vs WiiU: 49k)

I thought it will do 30 million, but now i'm not sure if it will even reach 20 million. I've never seen sales this bad, not even Vita is THIS bad.

What NPD data have you been checking out in the past few years?

What Media Create data have you been checking out in the past few years? ;)

I'll spin it back to you, what global sales data have you been checking out? As far as i'm concerned, wiiU is selling at a faster rate (although it's still selling horribly). 

Both systems are selling at very bad paces. Although, one is completely dead in the US, horrible in Europe and bad in Japan while the other is bad in the US, horrible in Europe and Japan. 

I do think that both systems will end up selling a similar amount lifetime though, 18M.

There isn't any solid global sales data. However VGChartz has Vita above Wii U quite a lot in global sales.

Wii U got off to a faster launch, but it's not really eaten any further into Vita's lead since then. It has a rally in the holidays... but then Vita seems to level out slightly ahead for the rest of the time.

I do think Wii U has more overall selling ability with price drops and what could be much bigger hitting software.

But I don't think anyone can really claim a Wii U sales victory based on the past 12 months.

Of course vita has sold more then wiiU globally to date because it's been on the market for a year longer. And wiiU is outselling it launch aligned which is what I was talking about. And I never claimed wiiU sales victory lol... I'm not some kind of wiiU fanboy who hopes that vita dies and burn and wiiU to rise and shine. I own both systems and I want both of them to succeed, however, both of them are flopping hard atm. 

And my original point was for Somini where he said that he had never seen sales that low, not even for vita when vita has indeed sold slower then wiiU.
