Either 9.1m needs to be decreased or 16.1m needs to be increased. Or a bit of both. Either way, the gap VGC is showing for NPD is not even close to the reality (if this turns out to be true)


If Sony is to believed, 16,1M needs to be increased since it should be ahead of Wii, being the fastest selling console in the history


Wii was stock constricted for two years. 

Maybe, but that's not the point.


It's not a maybe it's a fact.  Don't downplay the Wii it still outsold the PS3 and 360.

Doesn't this practically say Nintendo made the most money this month?

WiiU did horrible, wtf?

Rumored numbers are:

XBone - `1,028,291
PS4 - 1,019,923

gap ~8368

That fits rather nicely with the known variables, i.e. PS4 + XBone is 80% higher than PS3 + X360 after 13 months giving the range something like 1.79M - 2.09M (Calculated by Road on neogaf).

That would also mean WiiU is overtracked, XBone is massively overtracked, and PS4 is just a tad overtracked.

So this is by far the worst tracking VGC has ever done right? I mean the XBO overtracked by at least 500k,WiiU overtracked by 140k, 3DS undertracked by 200k, only PS4 seems to be within the right margins. I hope ioi takes the time to look at these numbers and realize his methodology is badly in need of an overhaul. Impossible to defend tracking this bad.

lets be fair, the fact that they got PS4 in the margins is an achievment in itself. Remember the 10mill annoucement?

Still, that was not the point. The point was PS4 is the fastest selling console, no matter why, it shows an undertracking



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

Really? Link to the source please?

Oh scratch the 3DS number. Apparantly the post I read was talking about November 2013. 



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Aerys on 11 December 2014

So Pokemon is undertracked or Halo is overtracked, based on software NPD, if both Pokemon are over 800k, then at least undertracked by 200k
