I would say that that Sony specifically will surpass them by the end of the fiscal year. Microsoft might be behind them some, but they'll pass Nintendo not far after.


So ur expecting Wii U to sell a maximum of 1.5m over the next 6 months which includes the holidays, a price cut and some of Nintendos best selling franchises? Seems very unlikey considering its done close to a million in the past 6 months with a huge drought and non holidays.

I think both PS4 and One will pass it eventually but it sure as hell wont be this fiscal year


How much did Nintendo sell so far from January to September thus far?

About 1.25m from Jan-Sep 7th.

Then I'll say yes, if Sony's shipments can keep up as they said they are planning on shipping 5 million before the fiscal year is over. Microsofts will be shipping in 3x less countries so they will have to pick it up in 2014.

Don't be absurd. WiiU isn't selling less than 1mill over the holidays, that shows a complete lack of prediction skills on your part.

PS4: Year 2
X1: Never

Combined: Year 1

It depends on what Nintendo's plans are in response to the other consoles. Right now, it feels like the system has been abandoned, and that may mean they have some sort of plan(s) to counter the opposing systems' respective releases or Nintendo's completely & utterly lost.

With slow sales for the Wii U and a VERY hyped launch for PS4 and Xbox 1, it seems like the Wii U will be doomed for last. Then again, the market isn't always predictable, so anything can technically happen.

What are your predictions for if/when the PS4 and Xbox 1 will pass the Wii U in sales?

I'll make a list of users and you all can make bets if you want.

PS4 will pass Wii U at:

November 29th, 2013 - osed125 

December 31st, 2013 - sidious164

April 31st, 2014 - Madword

December 31st, 2014 - KingofTrolls

XBOne will pass Wii U at:

November 30th, 2013 - osed125

December 31st, 2013 - sidious164

November 31st, 2014 - Madword

December 31st, 2014 - KingofTrolls

PS4 will never pass Wii U:

XBOne will never pass Wii U:

Neither console will pass Wii U:

Anfebious


To be fair, the PS4 is mostly hyped online and on forums.

Lmao. 30% think the PS3 will pass the Wii U before Sony expects to have shipped 5 million consoles. Good logic, guys.

When it comes to Playstation on this site all logic is thrown out the window. I hope those of you saying PS4 will outsell the WiiU day 1 or week 1 are just trolling. PS4 and Xbox One will both have dry spells next year just like the WiiU. Both consoles are expensive for mass market appeal. Titanfall will give Xbox One a bump mid 2014 but that is about it. I don't see Infamous selling many PS4s. I say PS4 outsells WiiU by December 2014 at the earliest and Xbox One around the same time. Halo will be huge holiday 2014. Most likely neither will pass WiiU till mid 2015.
