Ill wait until official, but numbers like those means the wiiu needs to beat the ps4 by like a million a week in all of dec for me to lose :p

Those are much stronger sales than I expected. Good to see!



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Black Friday is notoriously hard to track as each retailer has different promotions and very different sales patterns to one another - until you have a full set of data you don't have the full picture. I would be surprised if Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo don't all make some kind of press statement about their Black Friday performances later today so I'd hold off for those before making any firm conclusions on who won or anything like that.

From the limited data we have, we're currently estimating for the USA:

XB1 ~ 725k
PS4 ~ 600k
3DS ~ 300k
WiiU ~ 200k

Reckon we'll get Nintendo today, MS tomo and Sony wednesday.

None of them said anything last year tho so am kinda worried this year they'll continue that trend.

last year they just had launches and there were shortages everywhere. so it was a different situation. i remember they gave numbers 2012 and 2011

Not even mentioned the Vita. Poor thing



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

And all the years prior (except Sony).

But last year not even Nintendo gave numbers. I am hoping you're right, it was certainly an abnormal year what with the new launches.

Thank you for giving us you preliminary data,that's awesome!I didn't expect that you would do it!That's great for 3ds given that new3ds/xl are on the way(although these aren't final numbers).I hope wii u to be a little more,is it facing stock shortages?
