This is how I get it.
Wii U August 42.5k, 110% increase 89k
From cream sugar percentages
Wii U makes up 12% 89k / 12 = 7.4166k per 1 %
PS4 7.4166 * 48% = 356k
X1 7.4166 * 40% = 296k
Wii U 89k - PS4 356k - X1 296k
This would put the X1 above last years 283k.

Aren't the established figures in the OP though? You know me and maths are not good friends.

And what do you mean by "pulling a PS3" anyway? The PS3 sold almost 8 million in its first full CY, with a staggered launch from Japan and was never anywhere near this low in the first years, it also grew consistently every year for 5-6 years and peaked at around 14 million in its best year. And it has had a 9 year lifespan now. Which of those do you believe the Wii U will be capable of? I'm not trying to be mean or anything, I'm just wondering whether there are still actual, real human beings who believe in some divine comeback at this point. All signs point to less than 20 million lifetime right now, there is literally zero indication of anything else and lots of indications that even Nintendo themselves are preparing to move on and try again with new products. |
Don't say zero... that is an entity that would believe in a comeback that would pass X1+PS4 numbers.

Yeah, the Nintendo PR statement was "nearly" 110%. But altering that down a percent or 2 doesn't really change the figures. My guess is that some might believe that last months 42.5k estimate isn't accurate.
For the OP estimates to be right, Wii U August figures would of been around 40.5k.

To be fair, early in PS3's life there was speculation of a 10 million LTD for PS3 and articles talking about death spirals for PS3. Though I think by the time we get to the quivalent time on PS3's lifecycles as Wii U is today all of that extreme negativity about PS3's prospects had fallen by the wayside, and the only lingering mantra was PS3 has no games.

It's been mentioned earlier in the thread. Articles with information from people who have the exact figures said PS4 and Xb one are both down compared to Sept 2014. So any estimate that puts Xb one up compared to Sept 2014 would be due to rounding errors and lack of precise information. Unless anyone has a quote from an independant analysts which notes Xb one being up compared to Sept 2014 then the venture beat article saying it's down is the final word on the matter.
"Even the Xbox One and PS4 didn’t sell as well as last year."
Edit: Actually re-reading that sentence it could mean Xb one and PS4 combined, not Xb one and PS4 individually. So I guess there is still a possibility that Xb one is slightly up. I'm still leaning towards Xb one being slightly down because I've yet to see any independant article saying "even though Xb one is up on Sept last year, the PS4 being down means 8th gen as a whole is down compared to Sept 2014" or something like that. I would think analysts would normally note those stats behind the stats.

That explains the OP figures. Whose to say that last year estimates are correct if last months Wii U numbers are out also.

Dude don't be so sensitive, he asked u a legitimate question, what about these results make u believe "pulling a PS3" is going to happen? Being down YoY in the 3rd full year on the market is pretty much the exact opposite of pulling a PS3. |
He didn't just asked a question, so I'm not being so sensitive. Funny how people say things when they know they do not have to say it face to face. A lot users on this site are very negative and are baiters,will say things to try get arouse out of people, sad actually.

lol is it that obvious. Wasn't sure, never seen the dude before. Seen a few users on here you would swear are drunk but that would mean that their livers would of packed in by now. |
Wasn't trying to answer a question was explaining why this site is taking a turn for the worse and why I stay away from forums. You can't just say something positive about anything here without someone ridiculing it. People are allowed to pick a part a persons opinion so why post

Yes u are being over sensitive, u said it could pull a PS3 (comeback) based on being up 110% from last month, someone posted that it's actually down YoY meaning the exact opposite of pulling off a comeback then u responded with calling him negative for stating a fact and correcting u. Then another poster asked what makes u think a comeback is possible and u gave another response labeling the person negative.
