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.

Since when did it matter if a game was exclusive??? Multiplats don't push systems now? If that's the case how the heck has Microsoft shipped 4m~ 360's this year, they've only had Gears Judgement early in the year. Fact is 360 will be getting multiplats over the holiday and Q1 that will sell systems.

360 will ship at least 4m in the holiday Q, and 1m in Q1. Not 3- 3.5m ..

4m for Wiiu suggests 1m in nov NPD and 1m in dec NPD (if not more) not realistic.

Even if you wanted it to sell that much there won't be that much stock on shelves.
