Its hard to say ever but there is zero chance in 2014. Xbone only outsold Wii U by 50k a few weeks after launch. Yes, I understand it was holiday season, but it was holiday season for everyone. On top of that with Nintendos massive 2014 lineup, and Microsofts lack of 2014 lineup, I think the real question needs to be is whether the PS4 or Wii U will be in the lead by the end of 2014. Thats a much tougher call.

Microsoft's lack of a 2014 lineup? What do you call Halo, Titanfall, Quantum Break, and Sunset Overdrive, all of which have a planned 2014 release. Fable Legends might even make 2014, Lionhead hasn't given a launch window yet and it's been in development for quite awhile if job listings are any indication. And that's on top of a slew of other titles, exclusive (such as Kinect Sports Rivals) and multiplatform (several of which aren't coming to the Wii U, such as Tom Clancy's The Division and Destiny). It's a much stronger lineup than the Wii U had it's first year and I'd argue that it's stronger than the Wii U's 2014 lineup (which only includes 3 major releases, Donkey Kong, Mario Kart, and Super Smash Bros, all of which are expected to sell below their predecessors).

You could argue WiiU is stronger because of those 3. Missing out Destiny, Division, MGS ect tho, that's what makes XB1 line up stronger. A fully fleshed out library (no matter where else you can get them) is far more tempting than just 3 games. Of course both have smaller games like X, Bayonetta, Garden Warfare and Project Spark ect. But those won't really shift many consoles.
