why is WiiU not falling ?

Is that strange or what ? 



Wow Kirby Triple Bacon Deluxe seems to have dropped off, thought that would do much better.



I'm glad to see that predictions start to hold even before Japan. I had said XB1 will be very lucky if it could get away with 2:1, because that is very optimistic for XB1. Its share will be between 3:1 & 2:1 and I am leaning more towards 3:1.... What's funny is that even a few weeks ago, there were still people who claimed Xbox was too strong of a brand, and there was no way for Sony to beat it in US! I have given many technical & scientific estimates precisely predicting what's going to happen, to only land on deaf ears.

See my original estimates attached on my signature. They will hold! They always do :)

Tomb Raider: DE is selling like old "updated" ports did on Wii U. I wonder if 3rd parties will cancel future projects or delay them?

On the plus side, next gen is doing well. Even old Wii U is up measurably over last year, showing some life. The death of XB360 is helping.



PS4 doing good. Wonder how long this keeps up. Wii U is ok, I guess. Well it would be really bad, but seeing how the system has fared up until now... I actually thought it would do worse. Xbox One isn't doing so well in Europe, MS really needs to do something about that if they want to play in the same league as Sony.
3DS is quite good. I mean, it could be better, but seeing as the system didn't have any major releases and is a dedicated handheld (which are doomed, or so I am told), it's quite nice. Vita doing alright in Europe and quite good in Japan (considering it's sales numbers in the past), but SCEA really need to get their stuff together over there in America. I mean, the Wii is outselling it over there.
Xbox 360 and PS3 are starting to fade away, though it's clear that PS3 will stay with us longer than the 360 (just as expected).

I really wish those PSP and Wii numbers would be part of the PS Vita and Wii U numbers. Would make the whole thing look a bit better.

Seems PS4 is not so supply constrained anymore and it's just the lower demand now.

From analyst ~250k PS4 is being produced every week... Sony needs to stock some to Japan... so 170k is pretty much everything they shipped in that week.

BTW if 170k is lower demand... what the others numbers are lol

I mean lower demand than supply. Even though it sold more because of more supply there was still supply available at the end of the week.

 

Then again the left stock is sold out again by now. So either next week is seeing an increase in sales or decrease because the supply was very low. Tricky situation.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Its only out in Japan and we only have US software numbers so far, thats why dont see it in the charts.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

Surely out PS3/360 numbers are incorrect?

Based on shipments these two consoles are selling at a similar rate...yet we have PS3 at double the 360 sales every week. I dunno what but somethings not right here.

As for PS4...wow I dont think anyone saw this coming...its actually increasing the gap between in the US with the X1. Increasing it! This is amazing if the numbers hold true after NPD.


I did see it coming bro! I always do. Just look at my prediction in my sig. I have had the very same predictions ever since the beginning of summer!
