Seems more a battle of can Ninty's exclusives bump hardware enough to can X1 survive PS4's slaughter enough.

I'm inclined to side with the one not straight fighting up the record setting PS4 juggernaut.

record setting juggernaut? if we are talking about sales, it's being severely outpaced by wii and ps2.

It is possible that the X1 could pass the total sales of the Wii U by holidays this year. It is also possible that the Wii U will maintain it's lead over X1.

given the context, it's actually impossible for xone to pass wii u this year.

Its outpacing the PS2 which sold the best because it sold consistently for the longest amount of time, not to mention its first year was its worst.

PS4 and Wii are with half a million of each other since Wii was at 9.27 million after 7-8 months and PS4 is at over 10 mill in 8-9 months.

"Severely Outpaced" is Severely wrong.

It's possible. IMO I don't think there's enough system sellers.

You keep saying these things, but I can't find where you posted the sources you back your claims up with.

Well at the very least since you moved your goal posts for the Wii and completely dropped mentioning the PS2, you've inadvertidely admitted you were wrong prior.

Lol and that why peeps should know and use facts before posting.

Ps4 is ahead of ps2 in na and lkely way ahead in europe.  Wii is slightly ahead overall.

Ps4 set all time console record.... so yahh fact.

Wait? People are still fighting about this? That's awesome! I'm a little sad not to see any bets though :P

Anyways, I'm interested to see how this pans out.

The Xbox should outsell the WiiU over the holidays but it has a big gap to make up and it's getting bigger each week. The Xbox is going to need to start making up ground soon if it's going to be able to catch the WiiU this year.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

Well year-to-date the XB1 still has a substantial lead over the Wii U.

while ps4 consistently sells above 120k, wii consistently sold above 300k. it's highly outpacing it.
