What I was going to say. I expect PS4 to be down in the low 200's in the first true post holiday week (I wish they'd hurry up already) and then into the 100's from then on. Pretty much similar to the baseline in January last year.

I would like to see Wii U holding much closer to Xb one this year. But I just don't see it happening.

I really hope they maintain for at least a few weeks.

its could possibly beat xbox one in europe since its not getting a price drop there

plus germans and french love mario party for some reason :P

In the last 2 weeks systems sales dropped significantly, Wii U more then half in the west... japan is the exception and what offsetting the fall if you look at 3rd jan sales. Same reason Vita is up after the holidays, japanese hardware boost 

The more you sell in japan/other regions, the flatter your holiday fall will be :)

The 3 home systems will be up YOY, that momentum is down to the games that were released in the fall. better software >> better hardware sales

Where?

It won't, the gulf between the software is night and day. 

Wii U not recieving anything of note till may. In the same period xbox will have Dying light, Evolve, battlefield, Final Fantasy Type 0, Witcher 3 and knowing microsoft a bundle for each lol

mario party?

that bolbed part of final fantasy raising xbox one sales I laughed at

plus only 2 games out all of those are excluisve marketed by microsoft

witcher and evolve

everything else is sony's marketing

Meanwhile GTA V exclusively marketed by sony  reaches 2.13m on X1, big game=big game, its gonna provide a hardware boost .... Whats most important is that these are next gen exclusives, people can't play these games on their 360. Something we didn't have much of in 2014 (only ACU-which was worse the rogue- and UFC)

Oh and forgot about mario party in march (?), still night and day though. Also I would probably bet that Xbox One hardware is boosted somewhat during that week, obviously its not gonna be a big system seller for MS but its boost WW will probably be bigger then what Bayonetta and Toad offered Wii U

Of course gta V was gonna give a boost

its friken gta(the biggest muliplat series ever)

if it didnt that would be unusual

and why would it get a boost in march

final fantasy is gonna do shit for the xbox one

and give ps4 a huge boost in japan and everywhere else

witcher isnt out until may so you have nearly a 2 month dead period for xbox one

and if they dont make a bundle for these games

a 6 month at least dead period for it

not wii u will probably be down yoy but xbox one will struggle to do ok numbers due to no hardware sellers(unless they do a bundle)

In the few weeks that followed Mario Kart 8's release (prior to the xbox price cut), Wii U only managed a 4k lead in weekly sales. With the list of games I gave to you, Wii U is not gonna be competetive to beat the xbox in Europe, the UK alone will prevent that.
