Someone on r/WiiU is saying that Captain Toad sold 250k in the US in December, can someone back that up?

I think after all the negative press the console had since launch (justified or not) it is very surprising that they managed to gain momentum at the end of the year. 225k is almost 1/4m in my book... and I agree, they have done a great job turning it around in the US.   1.268-1.090 = 178k  not 250k or 225k closer to 175k which is still nice

Check OP for real numbers

They are selling their data to a lot of companies, including Sony and MS. Why do you think they are not to be believed? Do you think their data is off? Do you have better data or hints they are wrong with anything?

the data could be off and still usefull for companys, and i dont think they pay just for tracking, they pay for more indepth data. and this data could be off and realy usefull. and no i dont have better numbers, and i dont wanna say they are wrong, i just wanna learn a bit more about the methodic behind it and why its taking for facts here. all i could find till now is that npd tracks all the major us retailers but not toys r us(if they track em again pls link). i dont know why that should be taken as facts, they will have problems from time to time, and they dont have other data to adjust their tracking method(because companys are using them for tracking). about vgs tracking method we know nothing , we dont know how he gets his sample and how big it is(it could be a far better sample even if he only tracks 1% of the market). i think both are way of from time to time and both are spot on from time to time thats only natural for every tracking.

So x1 won december by 225k? not 400k but I am sure Microsoft will take it lol
