Why do people keep comparing Mario Kart Wii with GT5?They're two completely different games that appeal to two different audiences.It's like comparing Uncharted with Halo.If we would all compare the games this way,it would be a complete mess.

Anyway...

GT4 3rd Week

- 510,176

GT5 3rd Week

- 654,136 Japan Numbers (24k) = 678,136

Difference

- 167,960 aprox.

 

Very nice GT5,looks like you haven't lost your fanbase.

I bet vgchartz is overtracking the wii, sorry but after november NPD I don't buy those 360 x 2 sales.


You said that because you don't want to believe it. You are basically in denial.

November is not Chrismas. And it was the month of realease of Kinect and COD. And the 360 barely edged the Wii and was behind the Wii at Black Friday.


It was completely obvious that the Wii was going to destroy the 360 in December. In what world do you live? Nintendo OWNS Christmas and there is nothing M$ can do against it.

Last year the Wii sold 1,2 millions in November and 3,8 millions in December. Not knowing that the Wii was going to take December should be worthy of a VG chartz noob card.


I said that because it doesn't make sense such a huge difference given the present trends. We know there is a huge demand of 360.

I said that because vgchartz already missed the mark on november sales.

I said that because vgchartz is based a lot on historical data and that doesn't work when a new factor is brought in.

I said that beacuse I'm sure that the wii will be down YoY when NPD data come out, like it's always been this year.

 

Let's wait and see.

but it was up YoY in november...

Anyways ur missing the point. The wii had a 50$ gift card this week(a new factor), and the 360 will have it next week which explains the sales. ioi explained that the 360 is having shortages or else he would have expected higher sales, and maybe people holding off for the $75 gift card next week which is sure to propel sales once again. 

Now im not saying the sales are 100% but its the closest thing we have!

You said it was down and it was not.

Based on that it's clear you have no clue.

 

You want to make a bet?

Wii will be over 3 millions this december and it will be above 360. Now take the bet or stop to write.



askel50 on 17 December 2010

The only bet I want to do is that that ratio we see on vgchartz (wii = 360 x 2) it's worng. Take the bet or stop writing.

"

360 will kick ass this holiday season, it will outsell the Wii in the west (NA EU)"
