Forums - Sales - Wii U #1 June 7th?

 

June 7th leader in WW Hardware will be:

Wii U 124 35.94%
 
PS4 184 53.33%
 
XBOne 1 0.29%
 
ColecoVision 18 5.22%
 
3DS 5 1.45%
 
Vita TV 12 3.48%
 
Total:344

Last week it was a narrow vicorty for PS4, topping Wii U 201630 to 187028 (14602 units), or outselling it by 7.8%.  However, the key PS4 title/bundle was Watch_Dogs, which released earlier in the week than Mariokart 8.  Early info from the UK indicates Watch_Dogs on PS4 is down 84% while MK8 sales are down a less dramatic 76%.  If this carries over to hardware - and is a wordwide trend - we could see Wii U drop less than PS4 (by about 10%) and edge out a narrow victory for the first time.  What do you think... will this happen?

After I've seen the UK numbers I highly doubt it.



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

mmmmm i predicted wii u at 89,000.... :(



 

No, it wont happen.



I really doubt it.

PS4 went 120k-->200k, an increase of 80k.
Wii U was 30k--->190k, an increase of 160k.

Even a much smaller drop for Wii U (percentage-wise) would mean many more units less.



No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.

PS4 sold 8% more.  If Wii U's sales drop 10% less, it's a virtual tie.



It doesn't seem valid to me. We know MK8 always has the best legs, but I don't see any tremendous week for WiiU. But anything is possible, considering the week won't move many units because well it's E3 week and many wait for better deals post-E3.



...Let the Sony Domination continue with the PS4...

Personally, I think it will be a very slight Wii U sales lead.



No, seriously one week bump and so many people go of the deep end with hopes.

It's not about total sales, but how big the increase was.

If PS4 loses 80% of the increase (80k), it stays at 140k.

If Wii U loses only 35% (highly unlikely but let's be generous) of the increase, it stays at 130k.
