If it ever catches WiiU, it will be years down the road.

Wii U has 2nd place locked I think.I know it will outsell GCN like we said but I have a sense it could do N64

Are you serious? I swear some people are not looking at the full picture. WiiU has received A boost but they're not actually looking at what the boost was. It was poor and it didn't even put sales on par with Gamecube. So if the launch of a huge blockbuster fails to put WiiU sales on par with Gamecube, why do you expect it to outsell it, and what do you think sales are going to be like down the line?

Doesn't make any sense, we've seen no evidence WiiU is actually making a comeback. Go look at any piece of sales evidence as proof.



 

It will pass this Octuber, or second week of november at latest.

Also, VGChartz are all over the place.



Starting September with the launch in more countries, Xbox One will catch up faster than it has before. Xbox One will have a bigger holiday season than Wii U. Seems simple enough.



Won bet with t3mporary_126 - I correctly predicted that the Wii U's LTD at the end of 2014 would be closer to 9 million than 10 million. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6673287

hope they drop the price of the box.
300$ would be nice.
it woulf force ninty to drop wii U's as well.

The gap between XBOX ONE and Wii U is 1,750,000.

And after last week, probabily increase for the start of  summer, i predict Wii U above XBOX ONE of 2,000,000 in 30 Augost.

Can XBOX ONE sell 2,000,000 more of Wii U from September to December?


It can, but it probably won't with smash coming out, unless microsoft has some big guns they haven't revealed yet or are planning MASSIVE price reductions (which they won't do).  Holiday sales are ridiculously lopsided compared to the rest of the year.  over half of all consoles sold during the year are sold during the last three months...

.. No. You can wish as hard as you like, but there is nothing Microsoft could possibly come out with that is going to outsell wii u by 2mil in that time frame. It's just impossible.

2m? Shipments are around 1m, and they will be on par (maybe even drop more) Q ending June. September ending Q will be huge for MS, it's always bigger for consoles and MS have exclusive and big multiplat games as well as the launch in dozens of other countries.

XB1 will have outshipped WiiU by end of September Q, and sell through will follow shortly after.

So, you think that XBOX ONE sell more of 2,000,000 only in 2 month?

i still don't believe vgc is right when they posted this weeks numbers for xbox. i'll believe benV over vgcz any day. i feel certain that the 1.7M gap is being slowly whittled away right now and that xbox will see a better holiday boost than wiiU.

whats gonna push it though(halo will help but not sure it would be as big as per say halo 5) when nintendos releasing one of there  biggest franchises this year

Destiny, Call of Duty, Assassin's Creed. Basically, 3rd party. That's stuff that WiiU doesn't have.

The problem is that xbox1 isn't going to benefit from those releases.

Do you bet?

I bet that XBOX ONE don't passed Wii U this year, and this year Wii U closed with more of 2-2.5 milioni more of XBOX ONE.
