Oh boy. There's gold in them there hills.
On: PS4/XB1 will outsell Wii U by March 31
| superchunk said: Anyone who thinks this has spent zero time looking at sales histories and even less time reading the sales predictions MSony have stated for their consoles thus far. Its simply an impossibility. Earliest either could pass Wii U would be by the end of 2014. However, that would require Wii levels of sales which I seriously doubt either of them can accomplish. 2013 is not impossible, just improbable. |
| Viper1 said: Logical reason? You cannot ask for that which does not exist. I have no doubt both will pass the Wii U in due time but likely not before the fall/winter of 2014. By March would simply require cirumstances that aren't based on current knowledge, historical trends, expectations and good old logic. |
| Zero999 said: by march 31, wii u total sales will be higher than ps4+xone total sales by a good margin. |
| DucksUnlimited said: It's not even remotely possible. Even holiday 2014 is a stretch. The Wii U's biggest issue is software, which by this holiday it will have remedied. It'll never come close to Wii numbers, but it should have at least a few million lead over the PS4 by March 2014. |

| Shadow1980 said: ...Since the PS4 will likely far outsell the XBO in terms of global sales, it will be the first to pass the Wii U. I'm thinking sometime in mid to late 2016.... ...By March 31, 2016, the Wii U would be somewhere between 35-42 million, with the PS4 sitting at around the same level at 36-39 million... ...As for the XBO, I think it will track about 50% better than the 360 over its life, with a similar sales curve, peaking around 2018 or 2019. It will thus likely meet or pass the Wii U's LTD sales by 2018.... Just give me a minute to whip up a chart to put this all in visual form. EDIT: Okay. Here we go. Note that the year is by Japanese fiscal year, so "2013" in the chart ends March 31, 2013.

On: When will the PS4 pass Wii U in lifetime sales?
| RolStoppable said: 2015 or later. The Wii U is a moving target and the PS4 isn't going to have Wii-like success. It took the Wii until August 2007 to outsell the 360. While it's possible that the Wii U will track behind the 360 and thus lower the bar, it's guaranteed that the PS4 won't match the pace of the Wii. Approximately 60% of the people who voted in the poll are either blinded by bias or were trolling. |
| JWeinCom said: Wii U should be in the neighborhood of 6-8 million by the time those launch. Based on a couple of factors (potential shortages, price, software lineup, audience, etc) I actually think Nintendo has a decent chance of outselling the other two consoles over the holiday. Nintendo should have a lead of 7-10ish million by next year, which will kind of take a while to erode at if they can at all. The only way I really see the PS4 or 720 catching the Wii U is if one of the two consoles completely collapse leaving the other uncontested control of the COD market. But I don't really see that happening. So.... Never. |
edit: wow, Turkish! Oh ye of little faith!
| Turkish said: 125 weeks for PS4 so in 2016, I think WiiU will have a turnaround next year, it'll sell more than PS4 next year but with a pricecut in holidays 2015 PS4 outrun the WiiU and never look back.
This is about outselling wiiu right? |
