We've seen VGC doing a lot lot worse. 8k isn't that bad considering VGC reputation.

What reputation ? (Does this site have a bad reputation for tracking sales or what ?)

Yes. It's normal to see a 50k difference between VGC and NPD numbers these days.

Still poor numbers - October is going to be much better. Hopefully, Nintendo can sustain small increment growth with the wii u from this point

(Forget about what I said.)

It will probably do better. However, one of the bigger game launches of this month will be in September and October will be 4 weeks so I don't think it will be by much. I think Wedbush is underestimating the Wii U's sales. 11k a week with price drop and big game? Naw, probably at least 15k a week with the last 3 weeks being at least 20k and the other two weeks being under 5k.

It seems like Wedbush is just about as reliable as Vgchartz so im hoping its better than what they are predicting. I really want to see Wii U improve.

What did Fatslob originally say?

These are not NPD numbers, these are estimations from Wedbush.



Predictions for LT console sales:

PS4: 120M

XB1: 70M

WiiU: 14M

3DS: 60M

Vita: 13M

He just said he doesn't see the Wii U doing as well in October as it did in September.

Wii U did quite well with the physical release of Wind Waker. Got a very nice boost in NA and Europe. October's sales in November NDP will be a lot more interesting to watch than September. Digital releases don't tend to have much of an impact on console sales, since there's little to no foot traffic with buying things digitally.



The Screamapillar is easily identified by its constant screaming—it even screams in its sleep. The Screamapillar is the favorite food of everything, is sexually attracted to fire, and needs constant reassurance or it will die.

That seems like an odd prediction to me but cant say im surprised based off who its coming from

Opinion changes depending on who is in first. If you go back to when PS3 was last for so long. it was completely fake made up numbers that nobody should take seriously and should be banned from certain sites. Fast forward to PS3 sales increasing and any time its 1st its the most credible source on the planet.

I think if PS4 has issues after launch and isnt in first or second, it will go back to being complete BS to some people on other sites that now consider it valid.

News4SonyGamers is probably the worst site when it comes to hating anything that isnt proSony

The truth is... we can´t be certain of any number until Nintendo publishes its quarter financial report. That´s all.

It´s true, however, that WiiU had a boost. How big was that boost is still uncertain.

Dunno, webdush its not that more precise than vgchart sometimes. By the way, when the npd will come out? It areadly 16/10...

Today most hardware design is left to other companies, but when you make hardware without taking into account the needs of the eventual software developers, you end up with bloated hardware full of pointless excess. From the outset one must consider design from both a hardware and software perspective."

News4SonyGamers....Where the heck did you find that site lol I've never heard of it but of course it would be pro Sony. The Nintendo and Xbox sites are just as bad.
