Surprisingly close on most.

The nintendo numbers are supposedly shipped and vgchartz tries to track sold. From this it honestly doesn't look like much of any overtracking happened with Wii U but I do think most of the software is undertracked especially mk8.

hmm ?

wiiu shiped 9.54m
wiiu sold to consumers 9.5m according to vgcharts

wiiu in shelves in japan alone ~75k ?

even if wiiu would be sold out everywhere else it would be still overtracked by ~35k ?

 

but yes mk seems a bit low.



SM3DW is pretty undertracked.



Wii U: over
MK8: massive under
NL: under
3DW: massive under
Smash: correct (?)
Luigi U: over
Party U: over
Zelda: correct (?)

In the OP he does say he's unsure and anyways what company ships 9.54 million units, they usually round it out or somethibg. To the nearest million.

Nice comparison Jay, as usual. Some observatioons:

Wii U is overtracked by around 2-300k
Wii Party U is also over about 300k
NSLU is probably slightly overtracked

Those seem like the biggest issues; overall though good job VGC.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.
