cant tell yet, i believe this holiday season will be important to WiiU and then MK8 and SSB in 2014. It seems unfair to judge the WiiU sales yet

Never. Wii U will hit its stride this holiday and never look back.



Estelle and Adol... best characters ever! XD

If there are some heavy hitters coming from what remains of Sony's 20 first year exclusives, then mid 2014 could be possible. My guess would be late 2014 - early 2015 though. A likely price drop and some first party games finally releasing will keep the Wii U ahead for at least a year I'd say, if not longer.



There is already a thread about this.

September 2014 to play it safe.

It might pass it 2014-15, but Nintendo could do something to save themselves.



We don't know how the market is going to recieve the PS4. The PS3 is selling great but PS4 is more expensive and lacks the game library.



Why don't you make like a tree and get out of here?

It will surpass Wii U sales the 25th of June of 2014.

Not only will it never pass it but it will be Sony lowest selling console to date. The problem with PS4 is that its not something the mainstream audience is going to want to deal with. Having extra hidden charges to access any form of online and designing it to look like a Wii upgrade ( my opinion but anyone who looks at the PS4 standing up against a Wii and claims they look nothing a like has some serious blinders on. is going to really hurt them.

I don't care how many Sony fans (mods or not. Yeah you know who are Mr even suggesting Nintendo beat E3 is extreme trolling with no basis.) don't agree with me. It's as valid a point as any other being put fourth. It's going to be the Vita all over again when consumers see they have to pay an extra 50( or whatever it costs) each year just to access the internet in any way.

I wish I could find it again but one guy named Movie Bob brought up some valid points that Sony's first two wins were just flukes created by a vacuum in the market. I agree because since then they have lost all focus and seem intent on emulating their competitors rather than do their own things.
