I remember a similar thread asking how long it would take the Wii U to pass the Vita. That doesn't look like it's happening. I was very wrong in that thread so I'll post the opposite of what everyone expects here.


not the same situation. No one thought the Wii U would do as badly as it was and is. PS4 and Xone are already on track to do much better. I doubt either will be doing WIi U numbers but i could be wrong

Wii U's launch was really really good. About half what XBONE did. It wasn't until Jan that anyone seriously started thinking the Wii U wasn't going to do too hot. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=151051

If you think doing half of what Xbone did was very good then you must think PS4 and Xbone sales are fantastic (which is cool) but thats besides the point, the point is it already had a better launch than Wii U so I dont see how it wouldnt be able to catch up to it, unless the numbers drop to Wii U levels and i dont see why it would.

It's less about dropping to Wii U levels, which could happen considering the lack of games in 2014 and more about what Nintendo has in the pipeline. In April,  Who's going to want a X1 with a bunch of 6 month old ports, when you can have a Wii U with Mario Kart, Smash Bros, and SM3DW right now.   Shoot, Nintendo basically already killed the Vita with the 3DS, and we are in the "age of smartphones".   I will say that is Sony is really trying to get Crash Bandicoot back then they are very smart, as long as they develop a fun game.  People are getting burnt out on shooters and I am a little suprised that Microsoft's lineup is so shooter heavy.

??? I cant agree with anything you said considering their are absolutly NO Wii U games in the preorder charts and a bunch from jsut about every other system. I know Ninty games are not preorder heavy but MK8 isnt going to do anywhere NEAR the numbers of MK WIi. I fully expect 3ds Smash to have an effect on the sales of the WIi U one especially if they are more similar than not, whose gonna spend money on a WIi U to play a game that will be mostly the same for a system the already have.  SM3dW released I dont see it pushing Wii U that much its been selling sub 100k just about all year which isnt good. Mario might push it above those numbers but will it stay? doubt it, especialy Jan-Feb. Not gonna bring up the rest of your post since it has nothing to do with Xbone. Oh and if you dont think Halo is not gonna move some Xbones significantly...


I heard the same argument about Mario Kart 8 and the 3DS in general and now it sells 400K a week, not to mention that it's going to move a ridiculous amount of consoles this holiday season.   Target is doing $150 for the XL and that included the bundles.    Halo is actually my favorite shooter but if you look at the number of people that play online still, and how fast Halo 4 dropped in price, it's hard to deny that it's popularity is down.  I don't know how you feel but I thought Halo 4's online play was the worst in the entire series and it better improve or it will only move 2 - 3 million consoles instead of 6 - 7.  I hope the new Halo is great btw because neither PS4 or X1 has anything that screams buy this console to me.  800k copies of COD, 350k each of Killzone and BF4 on PS4 just proves that the only people buying these new consoles are the shooter fans, and that is only going to take them so far.
