Wii U is suffering since last week a serious low stock issue.Thats why numbers in Japan are extremely low.

 

So....They are technically selling out?

Well yes, but i think its more of a case of bad management by Nintendo than anything else



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

I dont know about you guys, but those Wii U numbers seem a little high on the west, or at least NA. Weird to say 20k is high



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

This PS4 numbers are just insane!
Vita doing decent too for it's 5th year.

Impressed at PS4 numbers... it's a lot considering it's January, one of the worst months of the year. That said, I expected Wii U to be a higher than this... maybe Twilight Princess HD and Pokkén will help a bit.


January one of the worst months?
I don't think so. A lot consoles get a big push from Japan because the holidays start in Japan in January. And January is still the first month after the holidays, so there is still a little boost for the consoles in this month (especially early in the month).

'gotta say that after seeing this numbers, looks like Xone will crash and burn in the near future :/
First time I buy one M$ console and turns to be the worst selling of them all :(
Any way, Ill stick to my PS4, and enjoy the ride.

Um, by "them all", i'm assuming you're only refering to the 360, consider it's ~6 million away from outselling the original Xbox.

If things keep going this way then that PS4 vs Xb one 2:1 LTD is closer than I thought.

Yes, but prior to the Xbox Xobx got 0 sales, so the change from no Xbox to Xbox selling 24 million represented massive growth. And then Xb 360 achieved massive growth again. Xb one represents, likely, substantial contraction of the Xbox market, hence worst selling of them all. These things are both relative to past performance and absolute numbers. So something can be worst performing and not worst performing at the same time depending on the context of the statement. I would say that if Xb one's LTD only reaches 50-60% of 360's then this will be Xbox's worst generation even though Xb one might sell double the original.

This explanation was the whole idea that poured in my mind when i put that comment, but I typed it in poor words, so yeah, looking at how Xbox was doing, I think Xone is not doing quite well from this perspective, other thant that, if we look at 20M by now, anyone not living on this planet the past 2 gens could say these are very good numbers :p
