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.


To be fair Sept 2013 had the $50 price cut on the Deluxe model alongside Wind Waker HD and a new bundle, even with that Sept 2014 was virtually flat YoY. Oct 2014 being up 40% compared to Oct 2013 is pretty good considering the previously mentioned things were still having an affect and Wii Party U+Sonic Lost World had also released. 



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

That confirms what i thought, Sunset is around 100k without the bundles

Then something needs to be overtracked over here, 9th individual without bundles... Bayonetta? Driveclub?

100k feels too low for a 9th placed game imo.

We don't know where DC came on the individual sku list. It was mentioned so for all we know it's above SO.

Where it said DC did better than SO?

Y'know, it's pretty bad that public knowledge of NPD numbers has been almost entirely dependent on only two people on the whole internet, both of them being GAF members that now aren't there anymore. NPD should start making sales numbers public again, like how MC and Famitsu do in Japan.


Was the one guy just temp banned or was he perma'd?

You shouldn't acknowledge people and their sly digs at certain games. Turns out SO did better than the other 2 October exclusives even without the bundles and it launched on the 28th.

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


Damn it. I'm going to lose my bet aren't I X_X

Driveclub overtracked by a lot, called it.

It was always doing so terrible on online stores, way worse than horizon 2, but somehow it was selling more here.

And where's the original post?  This is just a guy saying a previous poster stated it.  What was that posters name?  Was he an insider or just taking a guess?
