VGC has the Wii U at 7.34m as of October 4th compared to 7.29m shipped at the end of September. This mean we have sold > shipped 50k.

Overtracked at least 300k. If not more.

As I suspected, looking at Nintendo shipping info it's Europe that is overtracked.

VGC has end of September

XB1 sold 5.75m Vs 7.3 - 7.5m shipped
WiiU sold 7.34m Vs 7.39m shippped

Obviously one figure is overtracked and one under!

The gap end of September is likely around 800k, leaving 1.1m - 1.3m XB1's on shelves, and 300k WiiU's on shelves.

Factor in the rest of Oct 4th sales, Oct 11th and Oct 18th (230k in total) and that 800k gap decreases to 570k.


Nintendo shipped 610K in Q3 this year, 203K per month so by now 7,5 shipped Wii U's and  shipments are probably considerably higher this quarter so we could have 7.6 million Wii Us by now shipped...

Anyway how do you know if there is 300k Wii U on shelves? Any proof? If that was true Nintendo  and/or would have reduced shipments...

*shaking my head* If they shipped that much in the last 4 weeks, it's for xmas stock. It has not sold through.

End of September is around 7m sold +. Right now is that + what they've sold in October.

the only people should think properly are those who believe that there a lot wii u on the shelve...stores don t stock up,nintendo sells almost what it sells...many stores don t have wii u...

Having WiiU at 7M and X1 6M roughly at September ends puts Ps4 1M away from hitting 50% at the end of this month I think we may see it be bellow 500k. Everything goes right Ps4 shall make 50% around the time X1 pass WiiU.

my local stores do, I've seen pics lately of 3 WiiU's on shelves. All anecdotal of course, but there is not a few weeks of stock in the channel.

Fact is 300k is low for the amount in the channel, so we could be looking at more.

Maybe the gap is below 500k?

You mispelled "XIII"

XIII is a yesterday talk. XV bears that heritage now. Until the game releases, we just have to deal with it.

Holy Crap how are you a writer? As of September 30th WiiU is at 7.29 confirmed by Nintendo. VG Chartz at October 4th its at 7.34 that is 50,000 difference. Not 300,000. You are the worst by the way its the end October that means it will be at 7.5+. Please people stop here


7.29 shipped confirmed by nintendo. So unless there is none on shells and all are sold through you might be wrong.

I'm saying never in the history of VGC have people used this as an excuse. 300k on shelves is LOW, trust me, back in the day 1m would be the norm.

Back in the day no console was selling 35-40K per week. 1 million was about 6-8 weeks of supply back in the day. For Wii U, during the previous quarter 1 million would be over 20 week's supply possibly as much as 25 weeks. Who the hell is going to forward order 20 week's supply when the console has been selling like crap for coming up to 2 years? 300K in the retail channel for Wii U is plentiful supply. By contrast Xb one's most recent 8 weeks has seen ~980K sales. So for Xb one to have 1.3 million in the retail channels is about 11 weeks supply based on the last 8 weeks.  11 week's suply is a tad on the high side, but considering the weeks we're heading in to I'm guessing Xb one will burn through that sort of number in 8 weeks or less.
