Wii U as overtracked.


Where is the link?  Because you say so?  You're both dense. lol


Because it has only shipped 80k more than it sold, which is nigh impossible. It's normal for a console to have shipped 400-500k more than it sold, and in the Xbox Ones case it had an immense overship in Q1 so that number got higher than normal ( but I won't rule out the possibility of a slight XBO undertrack).

Also, I obviously reported you for insulting other users.


Normal yes. However Wii U is not a normal situation. The console is selling so bad do you think retailers would take so much excess stock upfront these days?

I reackon for Wii U it be close to 250K tops.

But remember, the mighty Wii U can't be overtracked!

Again, don't be dense.  You don't know the difference between overtracked and undertracked.  The OP has it as undertracked, I think.

edit: So the XOne is undertracked by almost a million consoles right.  Wrong


What? How did you assume what you wrote in your edit? I was using irony to show that despite the obvious evidence, many still claim that the Wii U isn't overtracked. That's not the same as claiming that the XOne is undertracked by a million consoles. I have to ask, do you know the difference beetween over and undertracked?

So you're saying the Wii U is overtracked, just like I thought.  Either of you have proof of your claim.  Yes the Wii U outselling the Xbox One, so don't try to make it look like it have a chance.

But the gap in shipped/sold is only 80k. And that doesn't even take in account that shipped consoles usually takes ~ 1 month to arrive at stores, which means that of those 6,68 million, perhaps only 6,64 million (and I'm being generous) had actually arrived to stores at that point in time.

This thread is full with people talking out their rear-end. I'm still waiting for a link as to where you getting your information from.  This is not a hobby, report me. Till then I want to see proof.

Okay, just to be clear overtracked means that VGChartz figures are too high, AKA that the total sales of the Wii U is lower than what is displayed on the main page. I don't know if you agree with this or not, but it's pretty much a fact, as proven by the numbers in the OP. Weekly sales has NOTHING to do with who is overtracked. Even if the Wii U is outsellinh the XBO on a weekly basis, that doesn't mean it can't be overtracked.

just check the shipment figure there. The only one talking out of their rear-end here is you.

Edit : incase you don't trust wikipedia, here's nintendos official financial report:

I Think WiiU is slightly overtracked, maybe around 200000, while X1 is slitghly undertracked, maybe the same amount. Those are marginal numbers though, they will selfadjust over time.

You call me dense for saying that the Wii U is overtracked, and now you say that you agree and that the Wii U is overtracked?

Look, I read something about 6.68 million in June.  This is August going on September.  I don't know what you saw, but I am not agreeing.
