Forums - Sales Discussion - WiiU been outselling X1 since May 2014

DonFerrari on 28 August 2014

Looking at current numbers WiiU have been ahead of X1 numbers since pricecut announcement.

WiiU - 227k in May - 366 in June - 235 in July

X1 - 172k in May - 314k in June - 223k in July

 

The trend persist as August 16th have WiiU at 64k and X1 at 48k.

 

What do you think is the greater reason, Ps4 competes with X1 but complement with WiiU (hence stealing more sales from X1) or is WiiU a more desireable machine? If Ps4 were no more what numbers would you expect for both?

I would say X1 around 110k and WiiU at 80k and a loss of 70k due to Ps4 out of the market.

I know it's fantastic!!!!
Wii U : Smash + Amiibo + Higher baseline + Backcatalog & B2/1 & HW & Toad (not EU) & Sonic Combo.

Xone : Halo. Fifa. Cod. Destiny. Caters to that audience.

Either of them could do better than each other this holiday . Time will tell.

Sorry for the blunder... But LTD WiiU have been ahead of X1 for more than a thousand years.

All to do with the PS4 mauling the X1, U is scraping by avoiding a direct fight with the almighty.

To be perfectly honest, what system-sellers does the X1 really have? :S

System Sellers. Come september this could be changed. Considering WiiU has mario kart and barely outselling the XBO doesnt really impress me.

And its like, what happens when Halo MCC, Destiny, Tier 2 countries, Sunset Overdrive, etc comes out?  THen you ask, well what happens when Halo 5, Gears of War etc comes out?  I mean think about it, what is nintendo's biggest games?  NSMB, Mario 3d, Mario kart, Zelda and Smash bros. 3/5 is already out.  

Then you ask what is Xbox's biggest games?  Halo, Gears, Fable, Forza, big third pary games.  And which ones are out?  Forza???

A lot more than PS4 does according to some people, so it should be doing much better if that is true...hint I don't think it's true.

This seems to be a fight over table scraps. At least in the last gen the scrap between 2nd and 3rd was for numbers much higher than these.

Which are those system-sellers though? Ryse? Titanfall? Those aren't system-sellers! :S
