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.

Is Halo really coming out in 2014? if it does then no doubt it will help but none of those other games are big console sellers. New IP's never do that great, and Titanfall being on PC and 360 is going to kill their console sales (they are taking up half of the pre-orders). Mario Kart,Smash Bros, and DK could all sell below their predecesors and will still be bigger then any of those games you listed. SM3DW has been called a flop by a ton of people but is already at 1.3 million and is probebly already at 1.7 million including digital and unreleased sales figures. The Division isnt even on the top 40 in terms of pre-sales and Tom Clancy games lately have all sold like garbage. This new Splinter Cell has barely cracked 1.3 million.
