Will the X1 ever be able to pass the Wii U?

Not unless it cracks the Japanese code.

 

So no.

Maybe if Microsoft immediately dumps the 360 like they did the original xbox.

 

agree? or what do you think mister/misses sales expert?

They dumped the xbox immediately because it was a horrible selling console, and  they could never dream of making a profit. The 360 is still very profitable. The xbox one will overtake the wiiU pretty fast. In just a couple of weeks, it was at half the sales. I don't see the wiiU's current sales being a new trend. I'm betting they die down by the end of January.  The sales being recorded are still from christmas, so I'm betting they drop off pretty sharply afterward. I think the ps4 will overtake the wiiU by the end of January, and the xbox one will overtake the wiiU by spring. 

Actually, the original Xbox had one of it's best years when it was dumped. The real reason it was dumped so early was due to a disagreement Microsoft had with Intel regarding the Xbox's cpu. No more Xbox CPU meant no more Xbox.

As far as post-holiday sales are concerned, I think one has to question what post-holiday Xbox One and PS4 sales will look like.
