My issue is that I was explaining why people were happy at the time, based on VGC numbers that said happiness was based on.

If you want to compare with my beliefs as to sales: I myself thought it was good, but I was thinking it was WW, not one region. I was wrong and misunderstood the numbers to start with, but in the end it could come out as a broken clock still being right twice a day. The Wii U could still put up a WW number passing the Xbone for the month could it not? If that's the case then I could still be right in my belief that the Wii U would lose NA to Xbone but still edge it out.

Yes, in all likelihood, for that week the Wii U is still higher than the Xbox One.  My issue is that in this thread you were trying to change history in regards to expectations of Wii U sales.  You weren't calling those people fools when they were happy about VGC numbers.  Only after the real numbers turn out to be lower did you change your tune to expectations of VGC numbers being foolish and much lower numbers being impressive.

Man you are playing chess with a pidgeon, don't bother.
