WiiU won't be ahead ever again come this holiday.


Would you like to make a bet ill take wii u you take Xbox  winner stays loser gets perma banned and can't return? Since you said this holiday whoever is ahead at.the end of this holiday right:)

No, you look like an alt (swear we've tonnes of permabanned Koopers here) so I doubt your integrity. I already have bets going I am fully confident in.

I don't understand why people think the XB1 is going to sell like crazy this holiday. It had a nice launch but sales have been abysmal since then, even after Titanfall and a 25% price cut. There just isn't much consumer interest in it outside of NA, a market it is losing.

Nobody thinks it's going to sell like crazy, just better than WiiU. Which by comparison has done awful pretty much all its life. Even the MK boost (which is a far far bigger property than Titanfall) did naff all for sales.

That and not all is as seems here.

XB1 has outshipped WiiU every Q it's been out, and will continue to so going forward.

Cod Halo, and Fifa in EU.

 

However In a recent thread I read "ps3,360 U not late bloomers" it stated that Novemeber and december contributed to 1.6 Million sales of the Wii U on basically just Super Mario 3D World. - which many siad it did worse than expected, and it did not have a bundle.

 

This year there is abundle with that and Nintendo Land starting Sept/Oct (cant remember) and surely will continue to sell in November.  Nov/Dec will have Smash Bros (if bundle then better) and Amiibo. Then Toad and Sonic as this year's "helper" titles that won't sell amazingly but decently.  XBO to overtake the U will need to do better than U in October , and I think it's obvious Sept is Xbo's win over the Wii U.

 

MK8 will still have bundles (with NintyLand now in the USA) and even alone will prove to be a BIG system seller to aid Smash Bros and the Wii U.Therefore I am predicting 2.7 Million sold in those two months this year, and I don't think Halo and Cod can do that for the XBO.



Thank you I like the Xbox division but it just has nothing besides halo all the 3rd parties are better on sony and smash bros is going to out due a remake just my opinion

So you're saying X1 will close the 2m gap by the end of this year?

There is no 2m gap. XB1 will be ahead by a mile. Europe and US will be in its favour which will far eclipse WiiU Japan sales.

Yep, you're right. It's a 2.06 million gap.



Signature goes here!

Funny thing is, XB1 has shown it can pull those numbers, and WiiU hasn't.

You're way overpredicting what WiiU can do in Japan.



 

Well, Xbone and PS4 basically share the same games. Except for a few exclusives. Seeing that they came about around the same and ps4 has doubled that of the Xbone tells me that something happened there. Since Nintendo is getting these blockbuster games of its own and Xbone can barely outedge the U even with its 3rd party support that is far greater than Nintendo's , I see the Wii U being ahead at least until late 2015-early 2016.



These threads will never end...

Yes, but not within this year.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Yep, you're right. It's a 2.1 million gap.

It's not 2.1m either. Before even talking about WiiU being overtracked. (unless you think there is 60k on shelves end of June outside of Japan.) Shipments ultimately mean whether a console is in the lead or not.

The gap (sold) is around 1.7m IMO, maybe less.
