Wasnt it within 10% last month and only off by 1k-2k for Feb+March? WiiU been spot on as well

So you were talking US only, ok. Yeah I think in the US it's tracking was good, I was talking worldwide in 2014.

Oh i see, 2014 seems to be ok, its just the added 250k-400k per year from 2011-2014 thats off :)

Currently its off by about 900k-1.3mil. I think Vita is off too ( Look at Rest of World #s), PS4 is good as well as WiiU. X1 might be off still, it definitely is in US (dunno  by how much)

It must be something in 2014 that's off, unfortunately. At the end of 2013 the 3DS wasn't at more units sold then shipped on vgchartz (week ending Jan. 4th vgchartz has it at 42.2mil vs 42.74mil shipped as of Dec.31st), the 3DS is conservatively overtracked by 500k in 2014, realistically the number is probably higher.

EDIT: Scratch that, I didn't think right, your explanation is a possibility as well.

But I'm also really impressed with WD. All the downplaying the game got and all the people saying that nobody would buy a console for a crossgen multiplat and now look at this.


It's actually a really good game, the hate this game got was ridiculous.  Hacking is a great mechanic that really makes it stand out from other open world games

this will be a hard week for the mathgoblins. everyone is selling mk8 and watchdogs, that will make it hard to get good numbers.
and how will they count the nvidia watchdogbundles...

Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

It's gonna beat the crap out of PS4 in Japan this week. It's matching the PS4 in UK, and with the reported 1.2m sold, most of it is in the US which will give the Wii U a massive boost. It will outsell the PS4 no doubt as Watch Dogs only have boosts in 2 regions and I doubt it will be as close as the MK boost (especially with the bundles).

The key question is if it can sustain a level between the XBone and PS4 the next few weeks. With the price cut coming for XBone I doubt.
