Don't see how September and October will be any better. Outside of Bayo in Japan which will give a shrt 1 week boost in japan, there is nothing that will raise sales to my knowledge?

Only things I know that are releasing are Bayonetta 2, Hyrule Warriors, Captain Toad... and maybe Mario Kart 8 DLC? 

Doesn't seem that much to me either. 

Thought Toad and MK DLC was holidays?

Bayo and Hyrule will do nothing in the west Hardware wise.

Hmm could be. Not even sure on their release dates. 

And yeah they won't have any real bump hardware wise in the West.

Captain Toad is not even coming out this year in Europe and Australia!

Wait wait wait... we're expecting 1.1m shipped for Q3? What??! This is the quarter when Nintendo shipped 160k units last year. VGC, get your shit together.
Do we know where it's being overtracked? Or are we guessing it's Europe/RoTW?



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

We've had a few topics on the subject of Wii U being overtracked by VGC, people interested in pursuing the discussion with the new elements brought by the latest data can do it here: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=189638.

Indeed, Europe and elsewhere.

And yes, current VGC trends suggest a sold to consumer LTD of 7.46m.

LTD shipments were 6.68m end of last Q, suggest Nintendo needs to ship 780k just to match VGChartz figures, and if it's selling a steady 55k a week like VGC shows, you're looking at, a minimum of 300k on shelves, likely more.

Wouldn't surprise me if Nintendo can ship better this Q, but if they did ship another 500k, same as MK Q with all those MK bundles, then the overtracking would be gigantic.
