We know that Wii U is sold in last quarter about 500k, sold probably about 6.7-6.8 and shipped about 7m.


So if it sold-in (do you mean sold through?) 500k last quarter and had shipped 6.17 million in the first quarter meaning it was probably only at about 5.8 million sold through at that time that would mean it's at 6.3-6.4 sold now.

Minimum 500k, shiped will be about 7m,  sold 6.7.


Remember this is for the end of June, not July.

At most 6.5 million.



Won bet with t3mporary_126 - I correctly predicted that the Wii U's LTD at the end of 2014 would be closer to 9 million than 10 million. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6673287

6,86 million, maybe more.

Shipped? Well according to VGChartz (which is nearly spot on in the US, Japan, and France right now, which usually means it's spot on for the rest of the world as well) 6,587,078 Wii U's where sold to consumers by July 5th. Shipped to retail numbers for he Wii U are usually around 300,000 ahead of the sold to consumer numbers not counting the holiday season or close to the launch of the Wii U.

So going by that I'll predict that Wii U shipped numbers are 6.86 million as of 6/30/2014.



Bets:

1. If the Wii U sells closer to 10 million LTD by 1/3/2015 I win. If it sells closer to 9.5 million LTD by 1/3/2015 OfficerRaichu15 wins (winner gets 2 weeks of avatar control)--Lost.

You don't think that ~700k consoles sold between march 31st and June 30th is highly unlikely given that 250k were sold in the U.S. according to NPD and maybe 100k in Japan in that time period?



sidmeiernintifan on 23 July 2014

I think it sold 550 thousand, like 250 in the USA and 300 in the rest of the world. Around 6.7 millions shipped

I am more curious about the 3DS to be sincere.

6.6 is lower than vgz 6.7.

I predict 7.0, with 6.8-.9 sold.


VGC is way overtracked in my opinion. The Wii U hadn't even sold 6 million most likely by March 31.

So we know vgchartz is spot on for US and Japan numbers (since we have NPD, Mediacreate and Famitsu). So how can Europe make wiiU numbers way off? Even if wiiU was selling 0 units per week overthere, it would still be only overtracked by merely 20k every week. Please explain yourself.



Predictions for LT console sales:

PS4: 120M

XB1: 70M

WiiU: 14M

3DS: 60M

Vita: 13M

About 350k for the time period going by NPD and mediacreate, that leaves almost 400k unaccounted for, it didn't sell 400k in Europe in that time period. Not to mention that 6.7 million is now not the end of june, which was 6.5 according to VGC, which I think is off by 100k at least.
