The funny thing is, Xbox One is going to be #2 next generation! Wii U must be one piece of crap in your guy's eyes.


Who is even saying that?  Really, no one can say where the consoles will place yet.  A lot can happen.  Wii U could be #1, it could also flop.  Same thing with PS4 and XBox One.  Games are the real driving force for a console and really we don't know fully what kind of support each system will get later in their life cycle.


Are you serious?  You may think so, but Xbox One is still going to win the US market thus putting them at #2.  Japanese and Europeans will buy the PS4 and raise it to #1.  Wii U, even with all these good games releasing, will not be able to recover.  Sorry.  My name is Pokymon90, I love Nintendo, but this is fact.


It is not fact.  There is absolutely no real basis for your claims.  You're claiming them because you think you understand the market.  The market is not a simple blob of people buying on a whim + core gamers who always buy.  There are a large variety of factors, and one very large factor are the games.  Another one is marketing.  Simply being Wii U or simply being XBox One or PS4 does not have much bearing at all on overall sales.  What do you think happened with the Wii?  It was #1 but most people thought it would flop at the time.  The Gamecube was expected to do well, but it flopped.  The PSP flopped in comparison to the DS, which if you do some research, lots of people expected the DS to be a flop.  

You're basing what you said on opinion.  What I'm saying can't really be disproven because I'm not actually making a claim, it's simply an observation that shows that we don't know what hasn't happened yet, and it isn't so simple to say who will come out on top.
