Wasn't there a thread a few days ago suggesting that, based on NPD, mediacreate and official sold numbers in europe, the WiiU is unlikely to be overtracked by more 100-200k ?

Isn't that better evidence than shipped vs VGC numbers ? (genuinely asking)

200k seems like a decent guess I'd say, but that thread wasn't really better evidence since it only had data for the US, Japan, France and Germany I think.

Ok thanks. There was data for most of the big markets in the other thread though (except UK where I agree WiiU may be overtracked).

Anyway, from data we have WiiU can be anywhere between very slightly (50-100k) to mildly (200-300k) overtracked.

Concerning XBO, the difference between shipped and sold sure is strangely huge. But here again, I think it's overtracked in the US based on NPD...That would mean it is massively undertracked in Europe where XBO does not seem to do good based on the (limited) indicators we have... Do we know if the 5 million shipped include the new countrys XBO has to launch in ?

 

The 5 million shipped number for the X1 is from April, so it doesn't include the new countries, with the X1 we have to consider that MS stated at the end of March that they will slow down production of the system since there was a lot of stock at retailers that had to be sold first, so a big difference between shipped and sold isn't that surprising there.
