Using 69k, Wii U would be down YoY worldwide in October here. That also doesn't account for over tracking in Europe/ROTW.

Hmm? did 50k last year in the US so up 19k.


....or 60k:P it was between 50-60k if i rember,oh here it is http://nintendoeverything.com/october-2013-npd-rough-hardware-estimates/.lets get the average of that...55*47%up=80k!Also with 50k*47% up is 73.5 how we get 69k?:P:P

It was 50.5k to be precise. It's also 47% for the 10 months, not even sure what calculation you're doing with those figures ...

Regardless most on gaf agree with the 67k - 68k range.


oh sorry:P i thought that the 47% up was for just this october lol:P

"Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS has sold 1.2M copies in the U.S. and is the 10th Nintendo 3DS game to sell at least 1M units in the U.S. Also, through the first 10 months of 2014, total sales of Wii U hardware and software have increased by 47 percent and 84 percent, respectively, over the same period in 2013."

 

705k last month, 495k this month. Dont know how much of that is digital sales. maybe 40k-45k?


Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't this say that Jan-Oct 2014 is 47% more than Jan-Oct 2013?

Looks like we have WiiU overtracked in the US by 100k now.

I betting on Wii-U being overtracked, seems to be the safest bet these days.

Wii-U 69k? Well i called it. Really don't understand why Wii-U numbers are off all the time while there are barely any games releasing for the system that can influence sales to begin with. It's just like the months after MK8 launch, the game was clearly dropping in the charts but Wii-U hardware supposedly remained the same.

Lol so according to Nintendo's own LTD updates on 3DS games in the US, Zelda ALBW went from 1.09M in July to 1,.06M LTD in October... Ouch. 3D land is WAYYYYYY overtracked here. By almost 700k in the US alone.


Yayyyyy! Lets forget whats undertracked and only rip on the overtracked! Yayyyyyyyyyy! Hip hip, Horray!!!!! :)

Which one is undertrakced by that big? They all seem either spot on or within a reasonnable margin. 700k overtracked is not acceptable though. And that's if I'd assume that it sold 0 units digitally. It's probably over 1m overtracked.



Predictions for LT console sales:

PS4: 120M

XB1: 70M

WiiU: 14M

3DS: 60M

Vita: 13M

In comparison to vgc...

Official vs VGC

4.44mil vs 3.78mil: Pokemon XY
3.62mil vs 3.50mil: MK7
3.34mil vs 4.02mil: SM3DL
2.33mil vs 2.58mil: NSMB2
1.41mil vs 1.53mil: LoZ OoT
1.36mil vs 1.31mil: Luigi Mansion 2
1.42mil vs 1.26mil: AC New Leaf
1.20mil vs 1.02mil: SSB 3DS
1.06mil vs 0.94mil: LoZ ALBW

 

SM3DL needs major down adjustment, SSB is almost fine as digital sales are about 220k, Pokemon XY digital are less than 440k so XY is undertracked by more 260k.

SO not even in the top 10 software ? This is hard for Insomniac.

Wonder how WiiU will fare going forward, its days of doing 100% (or even 50% yoy are gone)

Was down YOY for the month of September, and is up 40% this month.

Nov NPD was surprisingly and awfully low for WiiU last year though.

I'd say that it could potentially be up nearly 100% YoY in November's NPD due to the release of smash and Amiibo. I'm pretty confident that it can reach 400k+.
