That was when Microsoft SHIPPED 5 million units... They have taken ages to actually sell them.

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.

You can't prove that the sun will rise tomorrow, but strong past evidence and common sense are enough to say that it will.

One week of stock is unheard of and, considering some consoles are in the channel going to warehouses and stores, frankly impossible. Hence the Wii U is overtracked.



No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.

Teeqoz, you believe in one source and adding/subtracting (whatever you're doing) to come up with a number from another source.  I kinda understand a little what you're doing, but I don't believe either to have the exact numbers.


But we do have the exact numbers, Nintendo announced them. *facepalm*

What, you're a parrot.  You say the exact same thing I say.  I read it, what did you read?

Geez, the irony of your posts in this thread is brilliant, calling other people dense while displaying such a huge lack of understanding of the subject at hand is hilarious.

OT: Don't know about the X1 but the Wii U is overtracked clear as day, especially if you consider that 60k of the 80k supposed worldwide stock are located in Japan.

Who you suppose to be?  If I'm wrong I'll apologize.  Help me understand.

It's actually all explained in the OP, at the end of June Nintendo had shipped 6.68 million units to retailers, vgchartz shows the system at 6.60 million sold to customers, leaving only 80 000 units on store shelves, that is highly unrealistic. It becomes even more unrealistic if we consider that vgchartz has Japan at 1.81 million to customers at the end of June while Nintendo shipped 1.87 million to retailers in that region, leaving 60 000 units in stores in Japan at that point and only 20 000 for the rest of the world.

Compare it to June last year, in 2013 vgchartz shows the Wii U with 450 000 units on store shelves worldwide out of which 50 000 are in Japan.


I get it and I apologize.

I get it and I apologize.  Now I'm going to banned myself.

edit: I am dense (I'm going to sleep).

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


It seems like you are the one who don't know the difference between over and undertracked. So by your logic you are being dense now. 

The OP has the Wii U as overtracked, infact I'll ask him.

@OP, do you have the Wii U as over or undertracked?

Wii U as overtracked.


I get it and I apologize.

You had the manners and the guts to admit a mistake. Your parent dragged you up good :)  Much better than the people who are never wrong and never sorry :)

The world would be a better place if we all had your quality in this regard Pigpen :)

Wasn't there a thread a few days ago suggesting that, based on NPD, mediacreate and official sold numbers in europe, the WiiU is unlikely to be overtracked by more 100-200k ?

Isn't that better evidence than shipped vs VGC numbers ? (genuinely asking)

200k seems like a decent guess I'd say, but that thread wasn't really better evidence since it only had data for the US, Japan, France and Germany I think.
