I get  the whole 80k only in shelfs and 60k of thouse are only japan, wich is why I said the other part. Demand for the wii u was so low, that stores did not order to many and they will definetly not want to have 500k wii us in storage thinking they will sell that in a year. They would most likely ordered it as the supply was gone. Retailers where being cautious and not order many, so for me at least it makes sense that there are not many in shelves at that time. The same thing that happened to the x1 and MS had to stop producing them and shiped less because demand was low and they would otherwise pile up. This is why shiped numbers dont mean much for the wii u or x1, while for ps4 is spot on cuz they are sold as soon as they arrive.

Did we ever hear of severe supply constrain for wii u? No. But thats what you'd expect to happen if you think retailers would wait that long. We know they weren't supply constrained so what you said is completely wrong.

Supply constrained would mean that retailers and consumers wanted more but nintendo dint hve it. Thats completly the oposite of what I sugested as that nintendo had it, but retailers and consumers dint want it so stores did not have it. So you would never have heard of something like that.


Look, I get it. You don't want to suffer the heart break of seeing reality and rather live under the guise that wii u is selling better than reality. However, the faster you accept it's majorly overtracked the faster we can get past it when it gets adjusted down.

 

What you said makes no fucking sense. Selling 20k a week in US but only having 10k to sell that week doesn't mean supply constrained because consumers didn't want it so retail didnt have it? Wow my head hurts from that nonsense 

That is completly true, someone must of told you I was heartbroken.

It was not selling that much at the time, could be well below, 8-13k. And I do know it was overtrcke so tehere could be a bit much onshelves but not like seece says that is over 300k. I say about 50k, wich it would be enouff around the world for a few weeks of stock available.

Probably doesn't know where to adjust, just like with the PS4.

I know where ioi needs to start, with x1 europe, has to be at least 200k overtracked there.

And that's based on what exactly?

Based on nothing.

XB1 sold around 1m in its launch period outside of the US. Now US is at about 3.2m end of August. People really think it's only sold 800k globally (minus US) in NA, Europe, UK ect ... since launch.

Well, 600k if you take his overtracked statements seriously.

I think it's done 250k~ in the UK alone this year.

Not nothing, alsmost nothing. Like your prediction.

That number I gave was a random guess like your wii u prediction of over 300k. And just like you the only thing I have is a gut feeling telling me that the numbers shown here are to high. 

What proof I have? Nothing concreete just like you. I just assumed that since the x1 is hated in europe and the only numbers we have is from big areas and they show a 7:1 ratio of ps4:x1, but the other areas are just guesses and they are not as low so like you I asumed is a lot lower, because is just has to. For one have you seen the bundles given by stores and not MS? Since they cant sell it they have discounted the shit out of it to try and get rid of it. Theres no way they will order many more of that umpopular product that dosent sell.

Another thing I mentioned before is that the tier 2 and 3 areas that import the x1 are bought in tier 1 areas. That counts as a customer buying to MS, but in reality that is just sitting on shelves cuz nobony wants in in those areas. 

Like I said with your prediction, It all sounds great and makes sence. But is not concrete. You could be right, but also wrong, cuz is just a feeling. There can actually be that few wii u's in shelves at that time. I dont belive it and was agreeing with you as I read, but then you went ahead and said its over 300k for no apareant reason, just that since other consoles that sell well have 8 wekks of stock in shelves, a poor selling console must have 10 weeks off stock available. Wich to me makes no sence, a month is to much for a low selling product, so I say like 50-60k is bettr than that 20k, then it should be 3-6 weeks of rest of world sales without japan at the time.

I was right.
