Last year the leader of nov was flat, and the loser had a small boost. Anecdotally i can see that happening again this year, both in dec were still selling out in my area.

Seems like a simple question, it has been announced the Wii u hit 11 million, so I am asking if those are sold or shipped.

well to be fair, the sources that I saw that reported it also corrected themselves. Some didnt change their link headlines though.
So where is Wii U at now.
Was at 10.73m shipped by end of September, should be 12.5/13 million now.

Uh wait, you think the Wii u shipped around 3 million since october till the end of the year...
Didnt it do bad in November Npd, which is the Wii us strongest market
You know, as an English teacher, sometimes your English drives my inner grammar nazi crazy but sometimes it's just amazing. "Do you know what is math?" should become the official sales GAF response to fuzzy math.

January 2016 NPD: Do You Know What Is The Math?
One of my D&D sessions fell into fits of laughter when someone was failing to add up various numbers and I broke in with "I CAN'T MATH".
So, yes. I daresay that title should work.
Also, everyone! January is so fucking quiet! It's always kind of weird! Also, sad, letting people who worked their asses off go. But, alas, there's not enough hours to justify keeping people on payroll.
yous knows somes things?

/nod I'm inclined to agree, if only because gradually losing ground seems more realistic than a one-time correction. That said, without more direct evidence of the former, you'll probably have a hard time arguing any more than flat-to-down, and even that's gonna be a hard sell for some.
Regardless, however UK are doing at this point, it seems safe to assume that the rest of Tier 1 are lagging somewhat behind that, whether you choose to focus on France or Spain to get a sense of just how much.
Dunno if anyone here played much FFXI, but I once busted up my linkshell with:
Math {Do you have it?}
Edit: Also…
Yes, I always find it fascinating to watch non-native speakers speak, and wonder about the structure of their own native tongue.
And you shoul see some old comment back in 2014... ;P

Sounds like a classic case of viewing the gap of being outsold narrowing per month equating to the LTD gap narrowing as a result. Which is not how math works.

Fingers crossed, since I have very little idea, apart from the order, what numbers to expect.

Two more days for the last Interesting NPD result for a couple months. Most exciting Thursdays of the month aside from the two I get my paycheck on.

Seing how sales crumble in January will also be interesting.

you don't need to "know some things" to figure out a random 50% YoY drop for the Wii U is pretty extreme and unlikely
now watch Wii U somehow be <300k just to make me and CosmicQueso look stupid

Only a couple more days now, should be interesting to see the totals for each console.
Did you see a particular "trend" this December ?

I'll go ahead and pre-empt his response: Yes, PS4 was winning quite comfortably.

Dammit Gribble, you stole my line!
As we all heard, XB1 did very well in it's own right, so consoles aren't dead.... just yet.

No, I borrowed it.
How is January going by the way? I don't want to derail the thread but from what I'm seeing and hearing here and there it's also quite a comfortable win for the PS4 (so far).
Some keep thinking Minecraft and GTA is gonna be in the top 10. Like last month when some thought this the previous month they werent and they didnt make the top 10 last month. I think thats gonna happen again. I think Minecraft and GTA run in the top 10 is over.

I think the results will be pretty much the same for many months unless something drastic happens.

You need to fix your formatting.
I was just thinking about him parsing through this thread.
I hope we see him Thursday too (or early on Friday anyway).
