So based on VGC numbers, it looks like Wii U is down in December YoY. Could that be right? We know it was up 10% from last year in November. Could it then be down in December? I'm not sure about that...

Honestly it could've just been an algorithm thing, maybe he just put in that the game was getting a price cut of xx% and the algorithm automatically estimated how much sales would rise, since (looking at amazon) the pricecut looks to have been pretty severe the program then calculated that the game would jump to a pretty ridiculous level (possibly boosted by this being a week including holiday sales as well), without much data actually backing that up.

Can't wait for NPD, Gaf retailers already hinting something interesting regarding XB1.

I believe so.

The console has a very high attach rate because of its small userbase... it is logic that the more the userbase grows, the lower the attach rate becomes. But anyway, that is sorta irrelevant.

My gripe with this whole argument is that the exclusives releasing next year are not big enough to make that much of a difference. I agree with you that a consistent flow of software is very good for the platform, but I don't believe it will be enough to push the Wii U up that much, especially at its current price. Time will tell!

It's next week right?

Problem is that none of the games announced for WiiU for early 2015 will give meaningful boosts. Did Bayonetta 2 do it? Did Hyrule Warriors do it? Did Wonderful 101 do it? Did Smash do it? Only a small boost.

Ikr?

Damn, those 3DS sales went crazy! Looks like XB1 will take december NPD as well, but much closer than Nov.

Indeed
