Vgchartz has the Wii U at 70k for just 3 of these weeks. Heavily overtracked per week in the usa by this site. That's bad news but at least it's up yoy

I wouldn't call 15-20k overtracked "Heavily" overtracked. But yea, I'd say that this is a disapointing performance from the U.



Predictions for LT console sales:

PS4: 120M

XB1: 70M

WiiU: 14M

3DS: 60M

Vita: 13M

Let me test something: PS4 ~180k

Edit: didn't work :(

Tried to hyperlink?

That is most likely an indicator that PS4 owners buy more games digitally than XOne owners.

You mean the same fanbase that rioted about online only and drm, highly unlikely. 


Because buying digital is the same as not been able to play offline?!

Stevie Wonder saw this coming.No surprise here.

Hardware drop was expected but still worrisome.

Those recordbreaking launches didn´t lived up to the chalenger of mobile gaming.

Digital downloads being tied to a console =/= 24 hour check ins or total console lock down and all games, including retail being tied to one console, thus killing 2nd hand market.

Everyone knows full well a digital download itself contains DRM. That wasn't even close to the issue people had with the XBox One when it was revealed, although i'm sure you know this.

It will fall on death ears. He already knows what you said but he's just trolling. People like this need to be addressed though or else other people will believe it. But doing so also gives him what he wants, a reaction.

A difficult situation.

Good grief, don't do that again. Under 200k would be terrible

<200,000 in Jen is NEVER terribile.

Maybe is low for PS4 or a "best seller" console, but still...

whats going on with the SW how the hell is XB1 selling more? less HW sold and total HW is less than PS4

congrats on ps4 win MS needs to be 100 dollars less to sell on par or more than even though both consoles share the same mulitplats and imo both dont really have many exclusives on them yet so whats the deciding factor? online aint free on PSN, wonder how much ps4 will be outselling in once exclusive SW starts rolling in

Yeah that is pretty much what I mean. A console getting less than 200k isn't necessarily bad in and of itself, but if the market leader gets sub-200k figures that is not good news.
