Can't wait to see by how much Xbox One is overtracked and PS4 undertracked.
Can we expect PS Vita sales too this time?

When was the last t in me we even got Vita numbers? That said I think we'll get them Nov and Dec.

So, are you expecting Wii U to sell 556k? No.

Edit: Or are you telling it sold only 139k?

440K is my prediction on GAF... so way better than VGC have it ;)

But, why so high? I don't understand.

Anyway, I hope it's not overtracked.

Nintendo actually tried this year, even with no holiday title.

I think it'll be over 350k

You should clarify for software that for software "retail only" includes hardware bundles with digital download codes.

It should also be noted that VGC software includes games in official bundles, whereas NPD does not count games in official bundles. Therefore a substantial discrepancy between VGC and NPD for software doesn't always mean a true error when official bundles make up part of a game's sales.

Standard footnotes to the OP each month perhaps.

At the moment I tend to favour what Amazon is telling us: that PS4 won November, but I'm 70/30 confident of that. So I give Xb one somewhat if a chance. Man there will be some serious gloating and crow being served if that happens.

Added!

Because the price... Wii U was really getting good spots in the Amazon, Gamespot, Target best seller lists unlike last year.

So I expect a good grow YoY.

I seen some earlier posts saying Halo 5 flopped. How did it flop exactly? Did people expect it to hit 3 million+? Not even COD on xbox one did that first week. I just don't understand people sometimes.

Not sure what qualifies as a flop to be honest, but I doubt anyone expected numbers so low for the first mainline Halo on X1.

In other words, as just another game it did good/great. As a Halo entry it is a severe decline.

Halo 5's first week sales in the US = >1.3m (Inc DD)
Halo 3's first week sales in the US = >3.3m

First mainline Halo games on 360 & One.

Didn't something similar happen to Gears of War?

yayyyyy, Yokai Watch is bombing (hopefuly)

Why the hell do u want it to bomb!?

I really hate Level 5 as a developer so my biggest dream is to see all of their games bombing hard, I find them to be uncreative most of times and they milk IPs so badly that after 3 years or so nobody remembers about them...

Level 5 is one of my favorite developers. I hope for a success!
