And the 'why' was centered around the sales numbers.  Yes they were worldwide numbers, but nearly half of the total was from North America.  The breakdown is illustrated right on the main page.  VGC showed 30% more sold in the US on the Mario Kart launch week than the WIi U actually sold in the entire month of May in the US.

You can't just go from

"Did the Wii U not just explode in sales, trippling Xbone's weekly sales on a week that should have been big for them with Watch Dogs coming out? Was it not within range of passing Sony? Is it not impressive that a "dead" console did this? Is English not your first language?"

to

"Well anyone who thought NA was going to see a much larger improvement than that was a fool. I actually thought that was impressive after learning it was just NA lol."

When the numbers change.

Use simple logic if infamous second son or titanfalls had two days of sells do you think they would move a crazy amount of units hell no .... This isn't even a full week of sales and like someone said earlier people are wearing this like a badge of honor ...June will show if it's a system seller or not ... Not two days lol

edit: nevermind

He means specifically at Gamestop. It was the same thing in March actually for him as X1 sold better then PS4 at retail. But Ben doesn't see or have any records places like Walmart or from online companies like Amazon which Sony ships a lot too.

If its Nintendo, its automatically doomed. It's just the circle of life apparently lol

Especially since there was a bundle available for pre-order. That whole 2 days thing is crap.

Once again. Yup lol

Haven't Gamestop been pushing XB1 hard this month though? The Kinecless SKU hasn't done particularly well on Amazon so perhaps that will ballance it out. I expect them to be neck and neck in June.

Vita does 50k I'm calling it! Let me dream

Nope... DS and Wii first years weren't doomed... now if you are VirtualBoy, N64, GC, WiiU or 3DS (compared to DS) them you are pretty much doomed and there is not much hope and discussion besides people that like to fool themselves on absurd hopes and have their dreams continually crushed... how many threads have we had of preposterous expectations for WiiU that got undercut several times? Right now even Nintendo themselves look like fanboys of themselves with their predictions and boasts.
