Let the Wii U doom threads begin... I'm expecting like 2-3 threads per day.

And rightly so! I'm thinking about making one myself ^^

I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

Prediction: pezus will make a thread about how poor the Wii U's US sales are.

OT: It's good to see that SOMETHING is undertracked (3DS)

My prediction threads:

Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)

PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)

Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right

Halo 4 first 9 weeks sales prediction

PS4 to be down YOY in 2015

Wow, forget about that 77 million crap. We won't see Sony saying anything today.

360 down 450k. PS3 down 300k+... So both consoles are down even more so than thought from last year.

There goes that 76mil/77mil prediction that was made. Both numbers are clearly too high. New consoles are needed soon. Sales will collapse within a year or two.

NPD is really becoming irrelevent for software though. We know Halo 4 is ahead of Assassin's Creed III. Well now we know either one is overtracked or the other is undertracked. Great... Hopefully some numbers got leaked.

Wii U sales are really poor, especially considering they had a mega blockbuster title come out at launch and no supply issues only a week or two after launch. They need to release something that really wows the casuals or basically all their big core titles because with whats currently announced for 2013 things are only going to get worse.
