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


How can we be so sure if NPD numbers haven't been released? there is no numbers to back up that claim. Overtracked? most likely, 100k? we don't know.

Oh you mean WiiU numbers, yeah we have numbers dude.



Oh really, I missed it. Was it 69k?

68k, 108k, doesn't really make a difference at this point. Would need to start doing 200k to get to respectable levels WW.

No, not guesses, derived from Nintendo's PR.

Yep, I concede defeat, thankfully poor sales wont spoil my enjoyment of the console and its games. Back to work now, have a good weekend mate :)

NPD software chart:

October:

5. Destiny (360, Xbox One, PS4, PS3)

September:

1. Destiny (Xbox One, PS4, 360, PS3)


So Xbox one outsold PS4 in both months for the game, VGC has them at:

PS4: 1.39m
ONE: 1.16m

So at least 230k Destiny bundles sold? Seeems reasonable.


Elsewhere. Nice to see some people utterly ignore the SO bundles. Those same people were rapid in their proclamation of the bundling being the cause for the above scenario with Destiny.

So will do just fine, as the UK chart shows and as the Amazon charts have shown.

Anyhow. NPD is now officially not worth staying up for. No info.

Destiny white bundle was the highest place Destiny sku on Amazon, so it's not surprising that the NPD figure doesn't put PS4 version first, but the actual sales of the game do put PS4 first.

Massively, massively, massively overtracked.
