You really gonna sit there and tell me negative press doesn't hurt sales?

The XB1 is an exercise in bad press and look at it. It couldn't outsell the PS4 in the US or the Wii U WW, with a major price drop. Yeah chartz is sketchy as hell, but they seem to have been much more accurate this NPD. So even if the XB1 was even in sales with the Wii U within Europe, the Japanese market still puts it ahead WW.

Yes I am going to keep telling that negative press doesn't hurt sales ... Let me ask you a question. Did negative press hurt those WII sales ? /crickets

Alright then, I rest my case. 

I still wouldn't use vgchartz data to make an argument but that does not mean that you should take the next sets of data with face value seeing as how vgchartz has shown to be wrong frequently. Just because the WII U has the japanese market does not mean that it is not irrelevant seeing as how WII U is doing sub 10K in Japan and BTW the week ending July 5th on vgchartz shows that X1 is ahead of the WII U ... 

Well yes negative press did hurt wii sales, with the hardcore. The wii had plenty of games for the Hardcore but it became a bit of a media punching bag amungst gaming websites and that really hurt the sales of some of those games and Nintendos image in the long run.
