I have explained this to u twice now, when something reaches its peak it does not mean it all of a sudden ceases to exist. Peak means the highest, so if 3DS peaked in 2013 that means sales in years before or after will be lower than 2013.

Yeah, Wii U is tracking slightly higher Globally, but VGC is not counting Jan 4th under January sales, so the chart will end up looking like a decline YoY.

Jan 4th 2014 - 121,770
Jan 11th 2014 - 58,818
Jan 18th 2014 - 47,379
Jan 25th 2014 - 37,057 * est
Feb 1st 2014 - 33,249 * est
5 week total 298,273

Jan 5th 2013 - 123,651
Jan 12th 2013 - 48,387
Jan 19th 2013 - 37,057
Jan 26th 2013 - 33,249
Feb 2nd 2013 - 36,195
5 week total 268,539

Anyway I think the difference is within the level of noise.

Well to be fair he said baseline sales, not month of January sales.

Looks like the Wii U will settle in at around double its 2013 baseline in the U.S. and about 35% higher in Europe. Still down YoY so far for January in Japan, though. It'll be an interesting 2014 for the system. Let's see if DKC and Mario Kart can boost it even further. The Wii U might not be doing great, but is showing signs of life.

Based on VGC counting worldwide, the Wii U is trending to hit ~200K this January while it did 279K last January.

Even if we count an extra week to make it 5 weeks in January, it going to be ~250K.  Overall then looking down not up.


I just reread what he said, double in USA only which for the last 2 weeks of data is true

So the PS4 & ONE & Wii U are doom, because they will sell no more then around 6 million each this year (2014).

So much for predictions of Sony making 1.6 million PS4s/month.

I suspected that units were air-shipped for fast delivery in December which would affect supply in January. So far it looks like either that is the case, or Sony is holding back a lot of stock for Japan launch.

Am I missing something or is kaizer just not making sense again?
