| Protendo said: Wii-U coming in second (US) would be a nice change of pace. I don't see it happening, though I am glad the Wii-U is doing better. The question I have is, is the Wii-U doing better or do we just have a situation where we have less sales/individual skews/new game to compete with? |
Well the Wii U is doing better, roughly 20 to 25% better for the year so far compared to 2014.
Looking at the April 2014 monthly and what all was in it and then looking at the sales for those things, no I don't think that we simply have an issue of less being on the chart. There is some of that maybe since Destiny and Watch Dogs charted early, but that's only four spaces on the charts, eight once the last gen versions charted. The Wii U is up more than 50 spaces at least, and probably more than that, year on year on Amazon. And since the Xbone and PS4 SKUs provide a more stable idea of relative sales, I think we can safely say Wii U is indeed doing much better, even with the division of the Xbone's SKUs blurring things a bit.
