Wii U -  42,318

 

So heres my question for everyone.   Will the Wii U start outselling the Xbox One atleast for a few weeks until Titanfall comes out?  My opinion is yes for a few reasons.  Prior to Pikmin 3's release the Wii U was selling about 20k - 23k per week.  Once it released in Japan, console sales nearly tripled, and then it took 7 weeks to bring console sales back to the norm of 7,000 per week.  In the U.S. sales nearly doubled but settled back down within 2 weeks.  With that being said Pikmin has always seen a 1.5 million seller at the most, while Donkey Kong has always been a 5 million seller at the least.   When Wind Waker HD was released the spike was very similar as well, and that was for a remake, which normally sell about 30 percent of their original releases.  If Pikmin and Wind Waker can boost sales by 80% then I see no reason why Donkey Kong, which is a much bigger title doesn't have the potential to boost sales by atleast the same if not alot more.    I just wanted to see your guys opinions.  And yes I do think once Titanfall comes out Xbox One will be selling more then Wii U again, but for atleast 3 or 4 weeks I am fully expecting the Wii U to outsell the Xbox One.

Could very well be.



Dw, with the power of Cranky Kong, the wiiU will outsell the ps4/x1 5:1!

But in seriousness, its a maybe, DK isn't a huge system seller by any means but it will still increase the sales none the less... So, most likely. Now I wonder where in the ass are the rest of the games are...

Yea me too and not just from Nintendo either.  I really wish they would have brought out Kirby 3DS when Japan got it.    I think the game industry as a whole needs a serious dose of software right now.   Software sales are actually down from one year ago, and that is with 2 brand new consoles out.  



I believe it has a good chance to out sell the Xbox One for a month or so with DK. Actually, I think in the end the Wii U will sell more than the Xbox this generation.

When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

I hope the Wii U gets a big boost, but it won't outsell the Xbox One. Anyone who is really into TitanFall will want an Xbox by Feb 14th to play the Beta.
