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 ?)



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

if you were around those years you would know that VGC consistantly undertracked the Ps3 and after every financial report there would be massive adjustments. There was a reason for what you say happened

VGC has it at over 65k as of September 28. WWHD didn't come out until October 4, so we don't know how much the Wii U sold on the 29th and 30th. Now, does NPD go by actual calendar year, as in Sept. 1 to Sept. 30? If so, I'm thinking the final NPD number could still be over 60k. As for Patchter and Wedbush, I don't really pay them any mind. How often are they right, anyway? I guess we'll find out the actual numbers for sure as soon as we actually get those NPD numbers. Speaking of which, aren't they usually out by this time of the month?

No, NPD goes Sept 1. - Oct. 5. Same time period for VGC has 100,666

WWHD will be in this months NPD report



Yikes. Pretty dismal. Is Wii U tracking lower than the Gamecube?



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

Dbl post sorry.

I strongly suspect so. I hope someday we get a book detailing all that's gone on inside Nintendo this past decade.

yes, by 2.5m. But fear not, GC had terrible 2nd holiday and only sold 2.5m in 6months. Wii U will probably be where GC was at the same time in march

That would be quite a read. Be like the tale of two cities.

Hahahaha. You sound pretty sadisitc there.

Does nintendo deserve to have this type of pain in the console space or what ? 

Do you think the wii u will sell less than the gamecube or more given it's current rate ?
