| Zkuq said: Pretty sure it's easier to be accurate when you're shipping way less anyway. That is, the percentage of consoles sitting on shelves compared to consoles sold would probably be a better indicator, and that should make it more even. That said, Nintendo seems very accurate. Also, hype. If MS overships, they can brag with their shipping numbers, which should be good for business. And all those units are guaranteed to sell in a reasonable amount of time, so there's absolutely no problem there. |
300k is 3% of 9.2M... 1.8M is 15% of 12M. (WiiU vs X1) and mean Q4 sales on average for 2014 of WiiU and Q4-Q1+ for X1 so there is a discrepance in the numbers... Also isn't WiiU available in more countries and have 150k on shelves (vgc) for all the no japan ones? And X1 have like 1.2M (and X360 900k +-) for all non US countries?
