310k, though that is likely optimistic. I do feel like it'll do better than some here expect though.

Approx 200K. DKTF could put it at about in that region too if not more in February.

466K to 269k is not close, it's also an anomoly. |
I do find it ironic how you call his arguments sloppy and weak when your arguments are the definition of sloppy and weak. X event won't happen because it never happened in the past is a very poor argument.
Also: As for the rest of your post, it's the holidays. Even Vita is 'gaining momentum' by your standards. What do you expect WiiU to do be doing, selling the same as it was in June??
He clearly proved you wrong by showing you that wiiU was gaining a lot more momentum in the last 2-3months then the vita. In fact, wiiU has been increasing in sales constantly on a weekly basis in the last 2months 1/2 (Except the week after BF). His arguments are definetly valid and far from weak.
Predictions for LT console sales:
PS4: 120M
XB1: 70M
WiiU: 14M
3DS: 60M
Vita: 13M

Hey why not assume WiiU will have a record breaking January and be its highest month ever, hasn't happened and there is no logic in it but who cares!

There is nothing to suggest WiiU will be up YoY in January, and nowhere near to the point of what he's expecting. WiiU is doing poorly, it's not having a resurgance, January sales will reflect that just like they did last year. Need I remind you, 57k in the US last year. It's going to deviate far from that either way.

No he didn't. I already explained why WiiU is getting a higher percentage boost (which means absoloutely nothing) when the sheer numbers are so low.
Both systems had very similar baselines (vita/wiiU). One took off (relatively) and the other one didn't. So if wiiU wen't from a similar (or even lower) baseline then the vita to almost doubling vita weekly sales. What is that called if it's not momentum. Also, since vita had a similar baseline as the wiiU, why didn't it get the same (or a similar) average boost every week?
As for you're second point, wiiU is following an unprecedented sales patern. We really don't know what will happen in January, but his prediction is certainly not an impossibility.

Then Vita is more fucked than WiiU? What's your point??? This doesn't magically mean WiiU sales are amazing or that it has momentum because Vita is selling worse.
It's not impossible for WiiU to sell 10 million in a week. It'll never happen tho.
Oh, Machina wanted me to post this in response.
Step 1: Have a horrible sales month in October
Step 2: Have a horrible November/Black Friday sales month
Step 3: Pretend that the horrible holiday bump you got was a big deal because of how many more units you sold than in the prior month. But use percentages instead of number to make it sound better.
Step 4: Ignore the fact that in addition to the two new consoles destroying you in sales you also got soundly beaten by two 8 year old consoles
Step 5: Record breaking January.
Im expecting somewhere around the 300k mark, but im gonna be optimistic and say 360k
what?! i cant troll?? then what is the point of coming to these forums?!!

Nicely stolen from gaf :).
Anyways, so your basically admitting that this response: As for the rest of your post, it's the holidays. Even Vita is 'gaining momentum'
was wrong.
Also, you are acting like 500k would be a god like number. It's far from impossible as you're trying to make it sound like. Again, no one said that it was going to happen for sure, but it isn't a prediction that belongs in dreamland either. Just like the people who are predicting that it will do 80k in January.
