I guess with the people saying 360 is dead noone seems to notice that it is still a software dominator. Going to pass the Wii soon WW.

Wow that's amazing. That would mean the 360 had the highest attach rate as well.

PS4 edging closer to 3DS, not suprising, PS4 is still in stock in amazon and has been in stock at several retailers. X1 looks like Titanfall may be the cause (even though it's not out until later), Wii U outselling both PS3 and 360 in NA looks cool, Vita failing in NA and doing ok in Japan. Cool!

It says the console is out of stock everywhere except amazon. It's also the best seller on amazon since it got stock.

Lol seems like the popular trend/excuse around here.

Yup, Xbox consoles always do have high tie ratios.

Wii U is actually selling somewhere between "Ok" and "poor" as opposed to death according to these numbers. I wonder if they are overtracking? XBOne is also OK, but PS4 is in beast mode.

I keep seeing Wii U sales that sell 1500 at a time pretty damn quick. 260 for the mario bundle out the door on ebay, and Nintendo has it reburbed with Nintendo land for 200 on their website. So yeah, I think the Wii U is hanging in there. Hopefully MK can put up decent numbers and keep the system healthy enough to not be a complete disaster.

It has some great games, people just need to justify the cost of a companion system, because IMO that's exactly what it is.

A "companion" system is a tough sell these days I guess. In part because X1 and PS4 don't have backwards compatibility a lot of people are hanging on to their PS3/360 and those are their "companion" systems and developers are still supporting both the PS3/360 ... for example the new South Park game and most people have a back log of games on those systems already.

Honestly when I look at all the games I haven't gotten around to on my PS3 ... I have more to play on that system than any of the new machines right now.

You're probably right as the sales seem to tell that story. But then again, as that companion system get more and more affordable, it becomes an easier sell. I personally think the Wii U has some time to end it's life cycle respectable enough for what it is, but only time will tell. I've been happy with the purchase, but then again I will own all 3 systems eventually, just like last gen.

Oh and I agree that the older sytems do have impressive backlogs.

I don't understand why XBO is getting a boost in the US considering the Titanfall bundle is right around the corner. Wouldn't most people just wait for that? Is Plant vs Zombies really that big a system seller?

At this point in the console cycle nearly any decent game will give consoles a boost, and Xb one had 2 new releases. PS4 went down this week despit Thief releasing, but obviously because of shortages. If PS4 was in plentiful supply it would have got a Thief boost too, and Xb one would not have been on top in either NA or UK. There's really nothing to read in to the relative positions of Xb one vs PS4 in those 2 markets, except to note that Xb one is within pouncing range if Sony slips up with PS4. As things stand this is Sony's generation to lose in both of those markets.

It's had that title for a long time. Doesn't mean much though.

The OG XBOX has the record for the highest attach rate ever, yet I don't see that fact brought up a lot

bolded: it's more likely to be undertracked.

and a 20k drop would put ps4 at 32k, but it's probably gonna drop to 25k or less.

i think you're also confusing DK with games on other systems. it won't magically stop selling.

Why do u think its undertracked?

numbers seem too low and vgc is geting the bad habit of alternating between months of overtrack and undertrack.

VGC seems to overtrack Wii U more than they undertrack it if anything. Why do they seem to low? because you dont like the numbers? is it really hard to accept that the Wii U is just not a popular console?
