Japan is at 2m, we know that for certain, regarding the rest? We don't truly know and it's unlikely we ever will.

However, the US has always been Nintendo's strongest market, if the WiiU is performing less than favorable there, then is doing even worse in Europe, Nintendo's worst market, I'm pretty sure WiiU has been overtracked there as well, I'd say 60k-80k give or take, maybe more, maybe less.

That's 140k for the US only for November, about 160k if we count the whole year, as said before, 60k for Europe and I see WiiU being overtracked by at last 220k world wide.

Source? It could be overtracked, but judging by your comments, you tend to be bias against Nintendo for some reason.

Go to the NPD thread, see WiiU sales, then see Chartz numbers.

Japan is track right because they have official charts I think. 



Ltd predictions by the time 9th Gen comes out

Ps4:110million

Xbox one :75 million( was 65) 

Wii u: 20 milliion

I'm playing optimistic. I think it will surpass it. Also, I believe it should be hypenated, it is not a word.



Gotta figure out how to set these up lol.

I guarantee that the Wii U is selling better now than the Dreamcast was the same amount of time after its launch.



Puppyroach on 16 December 2014

I think it is slightly overtracked but it will definitely pass the Dreamcast soon, another great console just like the WiiU. Hopefully Nintendo can be a bit more patient with the WiiU than Sega was with the Dreamcast.

Their lifetime sales will beat it overall. As far as the pace goes It looks like they are on a similar trajectory. But better for Wii U because by the end of Dreamcast they were selling it for $99 to get rid of stock and all the games for dirt cheap prices. It means that even though Dreamcast sold or may sell better than Wii U... the Wii U is more profitable still.
