You give no time frame. Without that it is kind of a pointless thread. I believe that after Mario Kart it might fall below the Wii U for a significant amount of time. In the near future, I believe it will stay above the Wii U most weeks. The Wii actually has a long trend of poor sales to make an assumption that they will continue to be poor. The X1 has not had long to show if sales trends will continue to be so poor in the long term. I do not give a damn about a couple weeks. I want to see half a year, or more to see a trend.


the thing is a month ago nobody thought it was possible (if somebody were to make this thread at that time you be laughed at pretty much!)

Now its a possibility, and nobody said a trend. Its just something people think might happen which like i just said nobody would have believed especially this early.

Also there is one chance WiiU outselling X1 WW before MK8 release and that is this week. If it doesn't then it wont ever for the next 3 months

As I said I do not care about the Wii U outselling the bone for one week. That means very little. If he means a week he should state a week. If he means a year then state a year. If he means for the whole console life cycle then state that. It would not have complained if I did not think it is a potentially interesting thread if given an actual timeframe.

I think that from Generation 7 to Generation 8 Sony and Nintendo have switched places in the home console market. In Gen 7, the Wii had a considerable lead over the other two. In Gen 8, the PS4 will have a considerable lead over the other two. Where the PS3 was competing with the 360 for the second place spot in Gen 7, the Wii U will be competing with the Bone for the second place spot in Gen 8. So on a weekly basis, most of the time they will not be far off, but I do think overall the Wii U will be on top by just a little bit in 2014.

Your right, it wasnt very specific but the title says X1 go lower than WiiU meaning will it ever? No biggie :)

I predict 3rd party devs saying "x1 sales are not enough to provide quality ports" and a new shift to ps4/wii u multiplats with x1 getting no dlc.

no not really, 3rd party games sell on the X1

Isn't 3D World higher than the #1 Xbox One game?


Sony and MS go for the same "moar fps, moar 1080p, 4k NOW PLOX" crowd. For the past 3 months we've been hearing about PS4 versions being superior in terms of resolution n stuff. I don't care, but quite a lot of people do. A shift is inevitable.

Drop the kinect some say, cut the price by 100 this way. But then you get a weaker PS4 which is the end for xbox in my book.

True.



New here, what's up everyone. So, what I'm wondering is, do people really expect Titanfall to be such a huge game changer? I just don't see it, why are people expecting one game alone to triple US sales when huge exclusives in the past haven't been able to do that? I see the X1 doing maybe 100k the week of Titanfall, then dropping a bit in the second week before going down again to the levels we've seen these past few weeks. Unless I'm missing something here?

Sony also has inFamous in March, and while that may not be as big as Titanfall it should still provide a boost (not that the PS4 really needs it). Now, if it was Titanfall + $100 price cut, I'd agree with the big expectations, but as it stands? I don't see it. I think the X1 will be dropping to around Wii U levels, probably a bit higher since it won't totally die in NA. Only thing that has a legitimate chance at turning things around, in my opinion, is a very good price cut and some massive marketing campaign.
