I don't see what possible strengths the LunchBox One has at this point. Microsoft has already spammed Halo, its strongest franchise, all over the place with as many high-profile releases as they could back the R&D for. I don't see a single iota of progress since March of this year with the sales of that system. There is nothing on Earth that possibly save the Xbone. Even Americans aren't falling for the McDonald's tier Call of Duty bundles anymore.

The Wii U, on the other hand, has Nintendo's full range of IP support. Need proof that it actually matters? Mario Kart 8's tremendous success earlier this year was only the beginning, now Smash Bros. 3D is selling out across my entire city. If the 3DS (the most popular gaming handheld on the market now) version could sell 2.9 million alone, the promises of the HD buff and the Skylander-like Amiibo gimmick will launch the Wii U's sales tenfold its initial rut.

I'm sorry but the Xbox One has lost, no matter how many stubborn Xbox fanboys remain on the internet voting in this poll.

Wii U will win... in my heart.

If Nintendo scraps the gamepad and launches a slim version at $149 with Mario kart and mario 3d world pack-ins, I think they will get 2nd place. This should be quite doable considering the cheapness of the hardware. So my bet is on Nintendo at this point.

Also, I expect xbone to crash hard next year.

I know is my opinion, I put imo for some reason. You don't need to reinforce my imo.

And to end the off topic, I agree that they are substantial, just not major. Stuff like QB, fable, forza are in that group. Major, for me, is stuff like halo, gears, uncharted, gt.

I never thought Wii U would win second anyways, but I was confused as to why people believed it would.

What do you think will happen to cause the Wii U to sell more over the lifespan -  it has not done so since the XB1 has been released except the short time after MK8 was launched and the xb1 was going through its slowest month 

So you think Nintendo will do that?  What makes you think that?  When wil it happen (aprox)?

nip-and-tuck race (pool) ^,^

Nintendo would have to do something along the lines of reworking their OS so that a pro controller can handle everything the gamepad could do if they plan on ditching the gamepad. Otherwise some of their games will not work. Deus Ex comes to mind. That and they would have to find a way to make their online function like XBL. But even this is complicated, otherwise Sony would have done this long ago. No, I think Nintendo has figured out their route this generation, which is a army of fantastic first party games every month all year long. The sales will keep going from there, if they can start working on Bayonetta 3 now.

As if many people were hesitating between WiiU and XB1.

The two just have a completely different audience.
