Forums - Sales Discussion - WiiU overtracked 40k in the UK

MepH on 02 December 2013

Hey guys, I'm kinda new here. The Wii U console is really selling really low in UK aswell then:/ 150k is just... depressing.

 

Offtopic (sorry can't create new topics):

By the way, it is Overtracked by ~16k in France aswell. An Interview has been made between Nintendo France and JDLI some weeks ago during the Paris Games Week event (exactly on November 2nd). They published it on November 29th in JDLI website for the SM3DW launching.

We learnt a lot from Nintendo France's Deputy CEO Philippe Lavoué.

The Wii U has been sold 175k units in France at that time (VGChartz shows it at 191.5k at Nov 2nd) aswell as 2.150 million 3DS (VGChartz shows 2.127m here, so 3DS undetracked !).

Pokemon X/Y also made 'More than 220k in 3weeks' and some weird percentage about the 2DS (30% of 3DS total numbers).

To finish he also said the 3DS sold 1.7 Millions units software this year (1.824m at VGChartz at Nov2nd this year) which is a lot better than last year with 850k (So there it's a big mistake from Philippe Lavoué or VGChartz really really overtracked).

Have a nice read ! (make a new topic with my post if you want.)

 

Edit: The mistake about 3DS was from me. 850k 3DS last year was only to Nov' 3rd. VGChartz numbers still look overtracked though, as it shows about 1.2 M 3DS Software From start of 2012 to Nov' 3rd that year.



Prediction: End of 2015 Hardware sales (as of January 20, 2015)

Wii U: 12.1M | XBO: 19.8M | PS4: 36.0M | 3DS: 58.5M | PSV: 11.7M

Are people really arguing and getting defensive over a few thousand over the course of a YEAR!

if its 150k or 175k or 200k for the year for the WiiU... its still absolutely awful!!


Yep. Pretty much spot on.

Pointless arguing about it, all signs and sources point towards both PS4 and Xbox One outselling Wii U LTD of 150-200k, no matter what total, in a matter of days.

Well, the thread is primarily about trying to get numbers straightened out but I dunno why I bother cos US has been overtracked for a year + now :/

Yes.... and in a matter of weeks in the US.

Stock permitting, could easily fail without 500k stock in December (both)

That 'industry source' doesn't add up the totals to 600k.  It puts Xbone at 200k.

Stop obsessing with this 600k, that hasn't come from charttrack. The numbers from chartrack are these

250k+ for PS4, 150k for 1st week XB1, 20k week 2, with XB1 outselling the WiiU in week 1 and sources saying WiiU is around 150k.


The 150k isn't from charttrack either, is from Eurogamer. 


Source says 150k, I don't see why he would lie? Charttrack confirm Xbox One has overtaken WiiU and that's at 170k.

Why would the source say it's 150k when it's say 165k?

You're desperately grasping at straws here.



MVC says around 600k for all three, why would they lie?


Grasping at straws for what?  To what end exactly?  I'm really interested in this answer.

Rather lie, they're mistaken.

I'd rather go with actual figures from charttrack than some total MVC hasn't even worked out for us to see.

I don't know you tell me? There is more evidence suggesting these are the confirmed figures.

PS4: 250k+
XB1: 170k
WiiU: 150k

Than 600k combined, or perhaps PS4 did 280k, but then I'm sure they would have said that if it was that far over.

You do get you just answered your own question with this statement right? AROUND 600k is not 600k otherwise it would be stated as such. And of course its lower than that amount because they are trying to make a point of how people are migrating to these new systems really fast.

selling few console is one thing but loosing 25% of an already small userbase is really bad!

How will vgchartz track this? negative sales numbers?

Its actually far worse.... the 360 sold almost 300k in its first year in japan.  Twice as many.

THATS how bad this is.

Damn... Thanks for putting that into perspective. Nintendo has no chance in the UK, the rest of EU will be a massive uphill battle.

Yet Wii U's global sales are undertracked.
