Splatoon is going to kill it next year for Nintendo. I have three friends who have avoided the Wii U because of no games that appeal to them, and they've all been raving about it and how they'll be getting the system/game day 1. It's going to be a hit, and with everything else coming out at the tail end this year, and what's announced for next year, Wii U is in a good spot.

Yeah, no it really doesn't. Jumping the gun because of a couple good weeks is completely irrational, it's the same thing you did last holiday season, when you declared that the Wii U was not having any trouble in Japan anymore and that it wouldn't drop sub 10k over there anymore either because it had a good holiday season, just to then be proven completely wrong a couple weeks later.


Says the guy with "The PS4 will outsell the WiiU and 3DS combined" in his sig...

Heh.. Judging by that thread I used to think the WiiU could reach 30 million.. Oh boy..

No.............no.

We will NOT stoop to PS3 fan levels and do aligned launches. That was just a funny sore-loser tactic to make themselves feel better.

X1 will outsell WiiU lifetime, without us doing aligned launches in the meantime.

Way too soon to call right now. For all we know Wii U could even finish in first place!

Don't know what you mean. To me, and any other Xbox fan with self respect, will use the totals of WiiU and X1 sales found on the vgchartz homepage. No aligned launch bs numbers. I ain't stooping to their level.

This site has a TON of Nintendo fans and MS hating types. So obviously any poll would have Nintendo at an advantage.

The Wii U is finally late in it's second year selling a little better for over a month and people think it illustrates continued success (it may, or may not). Most consoles sell better their second year, and this should hold true for the bone too. I swear people vote with their dreams, but often post with logic. Dreams say the Wii U will sell better, but sales rates say the X1 will sell better and most posts I read reflect this.

If Sony ditches the PS4 tomorrow, then sure! I can see that happening!

so ignoring pertinent data is stooping to a level? sounds about right. 

Even if you dont stoop to a level I cant see how you can think X1 will pass Wii U if that is the case because its still almost 2mil behind and WIi U has been outselling it recently.
