Japan? Yes.

America? Nope.
I mean the Xbox country will celebrate its comeback with the release of Halo this November^^



I don't hate Microsoft, I don't hate PC,
I don't prefer Sony, I don't prefer Nintendo.
...Ok, I love Nintendo but this is something about tolerance, ok?

I'm a gamer with one of the greatest hobbies and I want to share this greatness with everyone.

Probably. September was so low in 2013!

Wouldn't count on it. For me, the wii u lineup for the rest of the year is is killer and Im anticipating all of it. But im an forum dweller on the internet so i represent a miniscule % of the population. There will be spikes for when the games release then drops within the next two weeks. Id imagine they drops will still be above 20K a week though.

its quite possibly. Wii U sales should actually be pretty good from September to December

Captain Toad
Bayonetta 2
Smash Bros
Hyrule Warriors
Sonic Boom
Fatal Frame(Japan)

I wouldn't be surprised to see Wii U hit a 100k number when Smash launches

Don't know about September on NA. Destiny will be out and there will advertising for it everywhere and stores will have it at the front while the game fly out of shelves.

Anyway, the consoles is currently at basically double sales compared to last year in the same period, but we are still on MK8 boost so it's better to wait a few more weeks to know the new baseline.



Bet with jetforcejiminy: PS4 will pass the Wii lifetime numbers.

Looking at the database september was one of their better months last year with a little over 188,000 sold.  Only the holiday months and march were better.  As for this prediction, I doubt it.

Humm, double in Americas i don't think... Wii U sell 30K on week, and in one normal week i don't think that Wii U have constance of 60K... maybe the week of Hyrule Warriors, but not all week.
I think on October will happen.
In Japan for me yes!
After boost of Hyrule Warriors, coming Bayonetta 2 and Fatal Frame!
So, i think is really possible 20K on week!

Probabily by september:

40,000-45,000 Americas

25,000-30,000 Europe

20,000-25,000 Japan

WorldWide more of 100,000.

EDIT: Oh, by last year??? So i agree!
