Awesome to see the new generation starting off so strong.

Good to see and I hope it continues.

Sounds like Wii U numbers might be above 460k which wouldn't be as bad as thought, though not exactly something to throw a party over either (GameCube did better than that basically in every December it had).

Gamecube also had Zelda/Metroid/Mario/Luigis Mansion/Pikmin/Smash Bros/Mario Kart/Starfox and a bunch of other great games in the 1st 18 months. The numbers the Wii U is putting out considering there is only 1 or 2 console sellers (SM3DW and NSMBU) for the 1st 14 months is actually not that bad. Wii U should be killing Gamecubes numbers next December unless Smash Bros gets delayed.

Sony's had a lot of software bombas lately, Puppeteer, LBP Karting, Gran Turismo 6, Tearaway, Killzone Vita, Playstation All-Stars, etc.

Thank goodness they have third party support to carry their home consoles at least, lol.

Now you're just trying to start a flame war.

Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

So much for GT6.

People need to really understand how amazing it is that Nintendo keeps their franchises relevant for so long, it's not an easy thing to do.

Well not releasing the newest iteration of your game on your old console, 3 weeks after your new console launched, would be one way to help it stay relevant.

Also isn't GT6 not being in the top 10 in line with the numbers we have here on this site?

Looks like all of my NPD predictions were correct.

XBONE would slightly beat PS4

and

PS4 plus XBONE would heavily beat 3DS

Are there any numbers for the 3DS yet?

No, but the prediction was (PS4+XBONE)>3DS. Not PS4>3DS and XBONE > 3DS. It was really just a counter prediction to POE's.

O_o... You're not exactly Nostredamus with that prediction...

another user predicted that 3DS will beat xb1 and ps4 combined, he is just calling him out on his insane prediction.

Canada + Mexico is close to 10% US sales.

Brazil I could give you anything from 20k to 30k.

Australia I´ve heard they sold 50k launch week, so, another 100k with NZ total.

Yep, MS wasn´t lying.

180k + 30k + 100

Still missing 300k.

If Microsoft published those numbers, they are not lying, I do not think you really understand what would be impact if they were lying... Also I do not see you trying to prove so hard numbers for others companies :) Just let it go now lol...

great, now he will just post these 2012 CES numbers again and claim they were lying back then as well. Was that necessary?

Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

Hope springs eternal. GameCube had $99 and Mario Kart its third Christmas, Wii U ain't matching that.

Wii Party U, Wii Sports Club, and Pikmin 3 are on the Wii U too and Zelda was not out on the GCN at this point outside of Japan, nor was StarFox.
