So what you're saying is that you used wrong numbers to make a point?

And nobody here is trying to argue that the Wii U's boost will mean it's the best-selling system during the holidays - if you did understand the context, then you constructed a strawman to argue against. Even you don't deny the idea of the Wii U getting a stronger boost (percentage-wise), yet you try to make out as though this is some sort of false claim made by me (and others), in order to denigrate the Wii U and those who are optimistic about it.

EDIT: Oh, and regarding your "averages"... you conveniently ignore the fact that situations change. In the first four months, the PS4 had an average of 813k per month, and the Wii U had an average of 156k per month. In the three more recent months, the PS4 had an average of 565k per month, and the Wii U had an average of 271k per month. Do you see the difference? Where the PS4 was outselling the Wii U by more than 4x (total for PS4 was more than 5x that for Wii U), it is now outselling the Wii U by just a little over 100%... and that's including May, which was prior to release of Mario Kart 8. If you restrict attention to June and July, PS4 is at 513k per month, and Wii U at 278k per month.

Note that all numbers were taken with weeks ending in the respective month - so I'm using 28th of December to 26th of April for the first four months, for instance. This also means the most recent week of data is not included.


you are using vgc numbers ? ones that were adjusted to 7m a while back and now undertracked PS4 by 700k since then.

Saw some one redue the numbers as vg seems not to want to.

"Adjusted VGC PS4 : Apr-July

744K 
719K 
861K 
710K "

average 758k so its outsellingthe wiiu 2.8 - 1
