i forgot to answer you ,yesterday :P! nintendo could overship...:P would you be surprised,if it does?:Pyou had said me that nintendo shippefd 810K GC in the same time frame,cant do the same with wii u :P?

No, since WiiU is even behind GC. Maybe 600-700k is possible.

no just no because your overestimating the amount of units worldwide 

I don't understand. I am talking about 600-700k shipments this quarter...

so 7.28 or 7.38 based on you~!however because of hyrule warriors and bayonetta games,the new mario  3d world and mario kart bundles,i feel that shipping could even pass the respective of gc,810k or 910 so 7.48 -7.58:P

Bayonetta isn't releasing this quarter. Hyrule Warriors effect will be miniscule.

WiiU is overtracked. However, Microsoft always ships much more consoles to retail then Nintendo so you shouldn't see it as "Oh, this means that wiiU is overtracked by nearly 900k". The wiiU can't really be overtracked by much more then 350k because we already have official NPD ltd and thats 100k overtracked and then we have Japan sales data and then the other 200k+ is in Europe and others. There could also be Canada and Brazil which could be overtracked by 10-25k.

But as you can see, it's impossible that the wiiU is overtracked by much more then 350k WW.

What? I didn't see any reasoning for why that's impossible.

So if Wii U is overtracked, it may be selling less than Xone right now, isn't that right?
I'm curious to see what's going to happen in this holiday season. Nintendo is traditionally strong in Christmas, but Xbox will have so many important games. Destiny and COD will be two beasts!

They are so close in any case that celebrating a weekly "victory" is completely meaningless.

IF it is overtracked, then no more than 120K for sure....

Some points to consider:

retailers have been keeping much smaller inventories of Wii u because they just didn't expect it to sell. Shipments likely increased after MK8 release and inventory numbers were depleted. This wouldn't show yet in the nintendo figures to June 30.

X1 - We have all seen retailer comments about it not selling like they expected, indicating that they were sitting on a pile of inventory (especially in the EU). Retailer price discounting before the price cut corroborates this. 


That said , its unlikely my theory accounts for the entire difference........

This right here is gold. This is why it can be such a large gap betwen x1 shiped and sold while its such a small gap between wii u. I still belive the wii u is overtracked but not by a lot, 150k tops. While the x1 has to be over tracked a lot more than the 150k adjustment mad the other day. Considering that acording to Tak, it was overtracked in the US alone by 300k, wich is its strongest market, around the world it should be by a lot. I can say without doubt that the x1 is not at 4.5m yet, wii u close to 7m.

Yeah, no. This argument makes no sense, just because the X1 was overtracked in the US (post adjustment it's almost at NPD numbers now), doesn't in any way mean that it has to be overtracked in other markets as well. The Wii U was undertracked in Germany, but is clearly overtracked somewhere else in the world, for example.

No way in hell is the X1 below 4.5 million, MS had shipped 5.1 million of those at the end of March and then at the very least a couple 100k more at the end of June and by now another couple 100k more I'd say, retailers have no reason to hold over a million X1s in stock, that's ridiculous.

Yes, I agree. Still, I see a lot of people saying the Wii U is increasing its gap to the XOne every week.
I don't think that's correct and I'm preatty curious to see what happens until the end of the year.

It really isn't an IF question.

Yeah and I'd also like to see his reasoning for it only being 120k or less lol

You bolded something that I didn't say was impossible? I'll assume that you're talking about the 350k WW. You and I already had that discussion a few weeks ago on this exact topic, I had given my reasons using Nintendo shipments for "others" and in "the Americas".



Predictions for LT console sales:

PS4: 120M

XB1: 70M

WiiU: 14M

3DS: 60M

Vita: 13M
