I don't feel like scanning through 40+ pages. Can someone tell me where the PS4/Xbox One numbers came from?

They came from a pie chart posted by a leaker on NeoGAF. We knew the Wii U did 80-85k from Nintendo's PR comment and so we could then figure out the PS4/XBO numbers based on the proportions of the pie chart.

Thanks. Honestly expected PS4 numbers to be in 450k range, but still solid.



So who is overtracked/undertracked and who isn't? I'm lazy to look for it. All I remember is that VGchartz is having xbox one in US way close to PS4 compare to the difference of more than 100k according to NPD.

Still, the Wii U might sell less than last year, being that it only has a 20% lead on last year's numbers going into Mario Kart May.


Mario Kart really didn't do all that much for Wii U outside of June NPD.

Jan-May & July-Oct, Wii U averaged about 67k per month, with June being about 2x that much.

Wii U just needs to average about 72k from April-Oct to be flat YOY going into the holidays, so far it has averaged about 80k/month this year so it should certainly be possible for it to be ahead thru October.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

WTF TYPE-0 XD

I did say that the 211k pre orders for PS4 alone in the US was clearly nonsense when 1m shipped globally was announced....

Well now we know it's very overshipped. But I still think 211k pre-orders in the US for Type-0 would have been coherent with 1 million shipped worldwide for the same reasons I gave last time.

XBO: 235,000 in 5 week.

235,000 divided 5 = 47,000 ...

 

With avarage of 42,000, XBO sell 210,000...
