Wouch, your're much more optimistic than me for all consoles :D.

It would really be unusual.  You can normally take 20~25% of Dec sales, and adjust a bit for unusual momentum like pent up demand or a new big game.

So for Wii U for example Dec estimate: 430k based on current momentum, take a generous 25% of that: ~110k, and no adjustment because there are no big games releasing in Jan.



My 8th gen collection

US: Xbox One- 240k, PS4- 270k, Wii U- 210k. Global: Xbox One- 470k, PS4- 480k, Wii U- 440k.

whoops those numbers was my december prediction lol

For Jan.

Wii: 200k
Xbox: 400
Ps4 350



Jan 4 - Feb 1

USA

PS4 - 520k
XBO - 420K
WiiU - 140K

WW

PS4 - 1.4M
XBO - 800K
WiiU - 400K

Sony may have stock issues, I think MS and Big N won't have that issue. So PS4 could be lower on that issue, or higher if they can put more units on shelves. XBO may sell better in the US, but I don't expect WW to be any higher than 800K still. The limited amount of regions and lower demand will hurt it over seas. WiiU I think will see an uptick from last year, but still be well under the competition.

edit: just for reference

Jan 5 - Feb 2 2013

USA 

PS3 - 216 
X360 - 340
WiiU - 66

WW

PS3 - 1120
X360 - 735
WiiU - 285

Did you make a mistake with the global numbers for Xbox? Because that just seems way too low.

No. America is really its only big market. Not out in Japan and it's selling poor in most of Europe. Last week the ratio of USA to WW was 2:3, so being 3:4 in Jan doesn't seem too crazy.

If its just USA,

Sony hasnt shown they can put out good supply really in the NA region, I would say for the month of January 2014

WiiU: 110K
PS4: 400K
XBO: 500K

USA sales in Jan are usually 4 to 5 times lower than Dec.  The best January for X360 was about 390k - which was coming after a 2.1M December.
I don't think a $500 XB1 will beat that.

Well, I think since the XBO is so well supplied it will make good sales, and more than ps4 for the January month. Its just a guess.

Why such low expectations for Wii U? , though I understand why you have Xbox 1 above Ps4 :3

Because the holiday boost will be over and DK will not be out until next month, leaving Jan barren as far as what I would buy for wiiu.  Maybe 180K if something nintendo was coming out.
