How the fuck did you not know you spelt it wrong.
You know your avatar is wrong as well...

A troll for what though? lol.
I know the avatar isn't right, I just didn't know I misspelled the name.
Man, no more corn flakes before bed.

Check the expiration date on your milk.
Because both the name and avatar were wrong, not to mention the spelling.

Ok So I messaged a couple mods, hopefully everything will be fixed.
This explains why sometimes I wonder why I can't log on.
Anyway on topic, I guess the predictions are all locked in now. I really want to know how well MK did. I do think they made a mistake realesing the last gen versions later though.

The Xbox 360 and PS3 were the competition.

Just went to the archives and found.

Holy... Well never mind then, wow.

Oh no you don't you need to but a number next to that money. I'm not getting that $1 deal again lol.

The first time the Wii U outsold the 360 was in January 2014, and by only 1k.
The next time it would outsell it would be in May 2014, by 4k. May did start a 6 month period where the Wii U outsold the 360, but was stopped in November.
Wii U is a failure.

I know, I'm going to be one of those people spending $10000 on the internet getting his name out if he ever confirms.
How much did the Wii u sell the entirety of 2014?
It's amazing it's worse than I expected it to. That's amazing how it just died after launch from what you're telling me.

1.56m (rounded down) in 2014
LTD at the end of 2014 was 3.66m (rounded down)
LTD as of March 2015 is 3.9m (rounded down)

That's just amazing, not even 2 million in 2014 even with the holidays. (I'm assuming the 2015 LTD is U,.S,. only?)
That's a pretty big drop off, I know people say it's failing for multiple reasons but a drop off that big from 2012/first half of 2013, I am not sure we can put a reason on it.

My post was US only.
As of March 2015 worldwide shipments for the Wii U are at 9.54m units.

Watch out, some guy with the same avatar as you keeps posting directly after your posts, must have done it 5 or 6 times in this thread alone.
Stay vigilant.

Sometimes the same message posts twice and it won't let me delete it, I often get a message saying I already posted a post already when I hit submit once, but I think it was just my browser, it seems to be working better recently. Good ol' chrome.
Do we have sold-through number for Wii U?

As of April 4 (end of March NPD) LTD in the US is 3.9m
As of May 10 Japan LTD is at 2,323,838
So those 2 countries equal 6.22m units as of May 10 (missing April NPD and there is one week of May in Japan)
I don't follow Wii U sales outside of those two countries, so if there are other numbers, just add to that.
Just to give those numbers some context. (3.9m in USA for Wii U)
The Dreamcast at this point had been discontinued with more than 4 million consoles sold through in the US.
The Gamecube had sold 7.2m in the USA at this point and the PS2 had sold 16.6m in the USA.
The Nintendo 64 had sold around 6.7m, PS1 around 7.8m
(aligned launches)

You can't... i have sent PM's to several Mods asking for mine to be changed, and i've yet to have any of them get back to me, unless there's a specific Mod that you need to PM...
I'm just surprised your avatar has Goku hair instead of a nice hat.

Am I reading too much into this or did you just confirm what I think you did?

I imagine some of you have read this before, but since the NPD thread always argues about the effects of exclusive games on hardware, here's an academic analysis I found on it:

They are nice and crunchy like fried pigeons.

I don't get it.
I asked in a PM for cosmic to "nod" if x was correct.
2 minutes later and the post in this thread was "nod" in reply to me.
So maybe I'm reading too much into it, or cosmic just confirmed something to me in a subtle way haha.

lol alright. Just seemed weird to infer something from a nod, but if you asked for it, it make sense.

Wouldn't it be easier to ask him to confirm via PM?
