| Welfare said: This might just be the worst year ever for VGC and I think ioi gives zero shits. I don't even think ioi knows when the Xbox One S launched in Europe. It looks like he put the launch along with the NA launch but it actually launched the week before FIFA. Even forgetting that we also know the percentage increases/decreases in the UK for the week before FIFA launched and the week of the FIFA launch. http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/slim-release-sees-xbox-one-hardware-sales-rocket-1-000/0173127 http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/ps4-sales-up-380-on-back-of-149-bundles/0173486 Wii U tracking has always been awful. Never assume it is doing well anywhere, especially in Europe of all places. How would it being doing 20k a week over there when even the US doesn't sell 10k a week? And the PS4 total is still whacked. Massively over estimated by at least 1.3m since the PS4 is at 41.3m the same week as Sony announced the PS4 hit 40m (Week ending May 21). Even assuming VGC's tracking has been spot on since then, the total would show 43.4m |
Overtracking by 300k for the wii u isn't awful... You exaggerated my friend! And awful overtracking would be double of that!
At least, when wii u was/is overtracked, the sales didn't/don't exceed shipments here, either close to shipments or just like shipments numbers! :) So, you could just say that ioi estimates the shipments correctly. :)
Yeah, I'm used to defend vgd, albeit this year, maybe I shouldn't do it for hardware sales.
As for the sales in Europe, It wouldn't be impossible to be higher than the USA'S at this point, wii u might have the most stock there! Also, it was cited that Nintendo shipped the last wii u units in Europe in that week...
