Well it certainly doesn't mean they're going to sell worse.

What it means is that right now, without Wii Fit / Wii Sports / Mario / Donkey Kong, the Wii U is holding steady just behind the 360, which has no comparable exclusives releasing within the next 6 months.

Titanfall, not that 360 needs exclusives to sell as well as WiiU, it's been doing it all year and is doing it now.

Titanfall is not exclusive to the 360. It isn't releasing until mid-march, by which point the XO is supposed to have sold some 5 million consoles, right?

But this isn't about how "few" 360s are going to sell in the next 6 months. This is about the realistic expectation that the 360 should sell about 3-3.5 million consoles this quarter, and the decent likelihood that the Wii U will actually outsell it. 4 million for the quarter is plenty realistic for the Wii U.
