Is the poll glitched? Has to be.

Sadly, no ...

I think X1 division will sustain financial losses overall, so I'd give the win to Wii U.



X1 will win. Absolutely and without question.

Satisfied yet?



I'm a lifelong Nintendo fan and I never believed that the Wii U would hold 2nd over the XBone. Year one sales were enough to tell me that we were looking at GCN, and not Wii, type numbers for the U. That said, I'd love to see a bit of a turnaround and maybe even 25-35 million consoles moved by the end of this generation. 18-22 million seems a lot more likely, though.

At this point, some might argue at all points, I think Nintendo is interested in making the Wii U profitable vs. beating Microsoft in consoles shipped. That's one big reason we might not see a Wii U price drop for this holiday.*

*Last quarter made a little money, with Smash, amiibo, Captain Toad, existing 2014 exclusives, and the holiday boost, Nintendo could be looking at some nice profits for Q3.

The Xbox One will win for sure, the WiiU is the new Gamecube: the super cool console that almost no one wants.


Nah it's the anti-Gamecube. A really uncool console that almost no one wants.  And that's just my honest opinion, I think the gamepad kills the appeal of the console and any "cool" factor it might have. What made the GC cool was it had awesome exclusives like Resident Evil.

I really don't see Wii U retaining a lead over the Xbone. However, any remaining doubt I have comes from Super Smash Bros. I'm optimistic for the game's launch, but seeing how Mario Kart 8 faded out I'm guessing Xbone will overtake Wii U by the end of the year.



Heh, its going to be funny necrobumping these threads next year when PS4 and Xbox One sales plummet at or below what Xbox 360 is doing weekly now.



X1 will win without a doubt, wii u has no chance

What's more funny is seeing you wait till gen 9 before you can back this claim up.

I do have to laugh at this, PS4 has sold more this year (Jan-Oct), than Wii U has sold in its entire life time.
