Only one platform was really bad. I can understand why the Wii was tough because it had such a poor 2012.

A little more recent data... adjustments posted in last week of December 2012.

3DS 218.451
PS3 -611.649
360 -674.507
Wii -219.361
DS -97.463
PSP 1.790
PSV -149.354
Wii U -203.247

Is that WW or US only?

Once again, I refuse to believe that 150K prediction, but IF it´s somewhat accurate...where do they go from here?

WW but the most changes are US... I just found a better example for BF.

Today US sales: http://www.vgchartz.com/weekly/41245/USA/
When posted NA sales: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=151035

It is US vs NA but you you can see VGC cleary overtracking the sales.

 





I wonder about the trajectory of that Wii U line in November and December

Dang, is that US or WW. I'm a broken record, but I had no idea it was that bad.

I believe it´s WW, but I´m not sure.Sadly, we know it´s terrible either way.

pachter isn't always wrong..

he did predict:

PS4 1 miilion a month
Wii HD
Wii falling off and nintendo looking like the winner early on last gen


Given Pachter's track record, I wouldn't give much credence to his prediction.  Also, those three things are barely anything.  I bet a lot of people here predicted things like this before as well.  Especially Wii HD, considering it isn't that surprising that Nintendo would want the next gen system to be compatible with their previous gen which sold over 100m units.

Also #1 and #3 are likely to have been guessed by a lot of Sony fans.  A lot of them were saying that the Wii was "just a fad" and that PS4 will do 5m (which isn't exactly the same as saying PS4 will open with 1m+ in the first month).  So really, I think you should just take Pachter's guess with a grain of salt.  Especially considering how Pachter likes to bash Nintendo.  

Example is when he said that Nintendo fans would buy anything from Nintendo (I think his example was an empty box with the Nintendo logo stamped on it).

Yeah the empty box thing was a strange thing to say. As far as i am concerned when i see the nintendo logo i know i am buying quality. Give me nitendo's take on gaming any day over bland fps that are everywhere nowdays.
