Isn't Reggie head of NoA?
And didn't the X1 just kick the Wii U's ass in the very same A?


197K - 140K in a region where the Xbox brand has been dominant for the past several years would not really be considered as having it's ass kicked. Now, if it outsold it 2:1, then I would agree with you.

According to some people America was never brand loyal so that doesn't matter.

I could say that Xbox is much more expensive, has no really great exclusives and a very big public image problem and is still selling more units. But I won't say that.

It may or may not be, however, with the Xbox brand dominance in America for the past few years and Nintendo's downfall with the Wii U, it truly surprises me that the X1 only outsold the Wii U by 30%.

Price is not a factor if the consumer deems your product of value which seems to include exclusives as well as neither X1 or Wii U is currently the market leader at this time.

As for public image,the Wii U has taken a beating over the past year and a half in almost every article that has been posted about it (especially articles pertaining to lack of or dropped 3rd party support)

X1 and Wii U both have a lot of negatives, however i am still generally surprised that it managed to hold up so well to a kinectless X1  (even with MK8 launching at the end of May)

Quick someone photoshop flappy with the luigi death stare face!!!!!!

The battle for the 2nd place would be an interesting one. Would the better 3rd party support and Microsoft FPSs be able to surpass the U, or the classic Nintendo franchises and quirky 3rd party library reign supreme over the One?



You know it deserves the GOTY.
