Woah, you went THERE.

He always goes there.

OT: It's not nice to give such a crutch to MS, Seece. It'll be more impressive when/if they outsell all Nintendo home console sales.

Because that's not about to happen tho.

Do you mean not about to happen as to say that your prediction is about to happen? Because it's not. It'll take years for Xbox to close that gap even in the best case scenario.



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.

A whole damn century is pretty generous. 100 years from now, there may be an entirely new competitor that crushes everyone.



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

no seriously I fail to see the point here.

If the thread would have been made in 2005 the Xbox would have sold more than the gamecube. So Microsoft wins. If this would have been made in 2012 Wii would have won agaisnt 360.

I agree with this post. Pretty pointless because this whole thing is just a snapshot and tells us nothing. Even ignoring the questionable numbers used.

Microsoft:

Xbox - 24m
360 - 84.8m (EST)
XB1 - 7.4m (EST)

Total - 116.2m

Nintendo:
N64 - 3.35m
Gamecube - 21.74m
Wii - 101.15m
WiiU - 6.68m

Total - 132.92m

Gap - 16.72m in Nintendo's favour.

How did the N64 only sell 3.35 million?  I think you meant to write 33.5 million which would make the gap much larger...

End of 2016 more than likely, and that is the most realistic scenario not the best.

Since when did N64 sell 33.5m after 2000? It didn't. Nintendo shipped 3.5m~ after 2000 and that's what the OP is about, who has shipped/sold the most units since 2000.

Yeah Apple.

Hope they buy off Nintendo, slay Sony, and join forces with MS (then backstab them)

No it isn't. This is shipments. (I'll update when Nintendo release theirs).

Then this thread it about home console shipments, not sales.

O.P. Yay? "Xbox will catch up to Nintendo in home console sales (shipments?) eventually if you leave out two of nintendos consoles!"

Even then, only if Nintendos next console does poorly and MS does well.

No, will happen with XB1, and then some.

And really, shipments become sales, all the old consoles shipments have been sold as will all the XB1 and WiiU's in the OP will be.

So? Production batches become sales, so do component orders. Sales = sales.

You think the Xbox One will outsell the WiiU by 17 million units? It's possible I suppose but only because I expect Nintendo to replace the WiiU early. Further moving the goal post.

No goalpost moving, things remain same?

360 is still selling. And yes XB1 will outsell WiiU by 17m, far more than that actually.

The Xbox One has a little more than a million console advantage over the WiiU so far this year...Lets say the Xbox has a great rest of the year and pulls out a 3 million gap by the end of the year. How does a console go from selling 3 million more than a competitor one year to beating it by an average of 7 million over 2 years?

 

Edit: Note that these are using your sales/shipped numbers. Things get worse just going sales to sales.
