LOL my post was not meant to be some troll post. It was meant to show who's bad at math and apparently the only one that could od math in this thread is Max.

I didn't say you were trolling, I just think it's funny that everyone went to so much trouble to figure out what a 685% increase from 1 would be, when 1 isn't the number they ought to be starting from. All that effort went to waste. Now it's time to start over with 1,268.

Obviously this was a failed attempt to make a joke about Wii U sales at the start, and it would have been just that if people had actually gotten it right. Instead, the math skills of the people involved became the joke.

A 685% increase of 1 would be 7.85 though.

In that case it has sold around 10K and not 8k like the article LMAO. It's laughable in this day and age that the writer of the article couldn't even do simple math that was done in 4th grade. Apparently he needs a repeat in 4th grade mathematics LOL.

It would be a 6.85 INCREASE with total being 7.85 because of the original number we started with.

it's numbers are higher than 3ds, ps3 and 360 regular uk weeks, that's hardly "half-dead".


So you're telling me that during the 1st price cut week and the release of a strong IP game, Wii U managed to sell 1k -2k more than 8 year old consoles??? My God, Wii U is a BEAST

Let's put that "selling more than 8 year old consoles" point into perspective, shall we?

We're talking about consoles (PS360) that peaked much later in their life due to high launch prices, consoles that are now mass market prices with extensive libraries of games, and consoles that just had the single biggest entertainment product release (GTAV) in history revenue wise (not to mention sales monsters like COD every year).

When you consider that, a console less than a year old with a relatively tiny selection of games that is still the most expensive gaming console on the market beating systems with that kind of appeal is certainly noteworthy.


i'll just point towards the fact how Wii and PS360 were trashing PS2 in its 8th year.

Damn, you are absolutely right. Haha

Damn your pretty bad at math. Haha ;)

your in this case is you're. So i guess he's awful at math and you're awful at english. I'd guess we're all awful at something;p

Hahaha, I guess I'm not too strong at english but I'll never be and the greatest thing about this world is that strong english ain't too important in trying to get some high paying job. ;P

That's the sad part, I'm actually very good at math. So I don't have an excuse.
