At least you partially agree with my shipment prediction then (XB1>WiiU end of September) then you somehow expect WiiU to outship XB1 during the holidays.

Yea, i didn't say it was impossible, just not 100% guaranteed, i mean we had no idea awhile back X1 would be this low (not saying its low, saying its not wat most people expected, especially after holidays).

As for the End of the year argument, i said that WiiU will do alot better tan most expect. 10mil imo will happen (we'll see that later if im dead wrong). As for X1 vs WiiU SOLD (Not Shipped) i think WiiU has a good chance to stay ahead by 2015.

All opinions of course, we'll get answers soon

Fair enough. I don't think any of it is out of the realm of possibility, just find it incredibly unlikely given .. everything. IF MK blew up more than it has I would think differently, but the hardware boost has been poor, relatively.

It gave it a new baseline and i made a thread about if it did its job and 90%(from all 3 sides) said it did



Bets:

(Won)Bet with TechoHobbit: He(Techno) says 10 million by January 1,2014 I say 9 million by then. Winner gets 2 weeks of sig control.

(Lost)Bet with kinisking: I say Ps4 will win April NPD while he says Xbox One will win it; winner gets 1 week of avatar control.

Raichu's First Series:

First RPG?

First Fighter?

First Racer?

First Shooter?

First MMO?

First Horror?

Official Ni No Kuni Fanboy:

Familiars Captured:37

Game Beaten: 2 times almost

Times I got teary during some scenes: 3

Except that has nothing to do with what I just said, the boost is still poor relatively, 60k a week is poor, just like it's poor for XB1 and just like the 120k for PS4 was poor. Third place consoles did these numbers piss easy any month of the year last gen.

Average random week I chose.

i will say in september once destiny and other third party games start to hit the xb1.

I guess that's a joke, right?

They will sell around the same until Destiny comes out and over 600k more per week is a little much.


im lost. isnt this thread about weekly sales being higher. or is it about total sales?

total sales

ohh, then maybe next holiday.

Just realised WiiU is overtracked too. 6.68m shipped end of June and we have 6.54? 140k on shelves selling 60k a week? nope.

That's about 2 weeks worth of stock.

Ya I think Wii U and Xbox One are both overtracked a bit, I would guess 6.8m and 4.8m respectively.

Basis of XB1 being over? I could believe, just curious as to why you think so.

We recently got Germany numbers and it was over by 20k I believe. Also the last NPD they leaked lifetime sales in US and I think it was over as well, im not sure if recent adjustments corrected it tho. If those 2 countries are in fact overtracked then I wouldnt be surprised to see other territories off the mark as well.

WiiU definitely over by 100k-200k due to the 60k argument, as for X1, NPD i think has it about 120k-140k less than vgc.

NPD has 360 over 1m less.

But the 360 is still UNDERtracked globally here.


360 is overtracked in US here by 2m.
