6.2m XB1 sold end of September would put 1.1 - 1.3m units on shelves. 7m WiiU's sold would put 300k~ on shelves. That'd be a 800k gap. Not including the last 2 weeks of sales erasing another 200k~

Highly possible gap is close to 600k week ending 18th October.


Sunset Overdrive and Call of Duty's bundles are available in Black Friday? If so, 500-1m gap can be beaten in one day.

MS has 5 different skus

COD 1 TB for - $449
Assassins Creed - $349
Assassins Creed with Kinect - $449
Sunset Overdrive White Console - $349
Classic XB1 - $349

yeah cos i mean wii u with smash and amiibo wont sell anything not one thing on black friday lol

I love this reaction. Point out where people said that? How exactly does XB1 selling well mean WIiU is going to sell nothing.

It means it's going to sell significantly less.


he says 500-100M gap can be beaten easily in one day as if wii u wont sell a single console on that day. and as if xbox can sell over 500k in a day it cant even do that in a week.. for all we know wii u might outsell it (unlikely i know) but i doubt that gap will close as easy as you think with a smash boost

In official report no mention of shipped numbers, only sales numbers.
It seems to me that Wii U is undertracked on VGC, not overtracked.

Nintendo and many other companies announce their shipped as "sold" since the retailer bought it.

Its still shipped though.

oh dear... They are shipped. These reports show shipped numbers. Nintendo doesn't use the "ship" terminology they use "sold" instead.

I edited the thread title, hope that's okay for the OP, we should keep it to the same topic as it stems from the same reports, merging the two threads seems like the best solution.

Thanks for updating title for me Mummel

Edit - I'll add my findings for the XB1 - WiiU figures to the OP.

Soon to be in last place forever.

I can't wait for that. Once that has happened, all the attention will shift back to PS4 vs. Xbox One. You guys are going to get piled on.

Nah, people just like to pile on the weakest competitor. X1 on WiiU, 3DS on Vita, PS4 on X1.

That is shipped. Companies always use the shipped figures in their financial reports because that is what they have sold to retailers, that's what matters to them and their shareholders.

So Sony is lying about their sold numbers? :(
