Anyone want to bet its really undertracked?


Seece had a thread about this. It's more likely overtracked.

This. They FORECAST 6.25m SHIPPED end of March. In all likelyhood it probably hasn't even gone beyond 6m yet.

Im quite confident that it has crept past 6 million, i cant see many Wii U units sat on shelves waiting to be sold, as retailers will only be holding minimal stock.

Well you shouldn't be, whatsoever. Nintendo very rarely even hit their forecasts, so less than 390k should be expected. LTD shipped should be 6.25m end of March or less. 250k or less in the channel WW is not a lot but about right for WiiU.

The OP basically expects more WiiU's sold than they have actually shipped.

There could be a shock horror moment, that Nintendo have actually hit their sales forcasts, or lo and behold sold a little better than expected. I shall wait patiently for Nintendo to release their figures. Do you know when this is liksly to be??

And this could happen why? They're down YOY by over 50k. Their forecast was exactly the same as the last period last year (390k) which to mean says they didn't put much effort into it at all. It would be highly surprising to see them surpass their forecast, something they havn't done since the early Wii era.

We get their figures on Wednesday.

Not sure about the Wii U but I'd say that the Xbox One is currently overtracked given Microsoft's recent shipment figures. Can't be more than 4.2m imo.

The Wii U is either undertracked or overtracked, but not by too much!

.17 units on shelves according to VGC. They had more than that for the Ps4. Most likely overtracked by a couple hundred thousand

6.17 shipped and 6.09 sold, its 0.08 in shelves.
seems on track.

Wii u is severly undertracked im willing to bet everything its atleast at 6.3 or higher

They shipped 6.17M as of March 31st and you think they should have a total sell through TO CONSUMER of over 6.3? VGC #s are not shipped, they are sold from retail to consumer.

 

You would be losing everything on that bet.

 

Edit - Wow, old post, lol.
