Love the denial on some people. The X1 has the advantage of 3rd party support and its selling almost as bad as the Wii U. Great position of power that is...
The failure of the X1 can only be measured with the exit from the market. If that doesnt happen, i have no idea what Microsoft would do with it. And that exit would definitly benefit the Wii U.
But ofc, this is all conjecture at this point. If X1 stick around despite losses, the Wii U wont see any meaningful benefits. |
Except it isn't. Not really.
US: XB1 is selling 2.5 x WiiU
Europe: Who knows? We know XB1 outsold WiiU LTD in less than 2 weeks ...
Elsewhere: isn't released yet.
Japan is basically the only reason WiiU is doing well in alligned launch. But that soon crumbled which means comparing March to March (when it comes) will be vastly in XB1 favour.
FYI Gaming division at MS made a profit last Q, Nintendo are making the loss here ...
Where is the denial coming from exactly?

The X1 sold 3.6m during christmas, the Wii U did 3 million. Both have slowed down substancially since. The weekly difference is less than 20k weekly, but X1 is in its first year.
Both will have losses Seece, dont lie to yourself. The difference is what will each of the companies do about it. We know that Microsoft has a new leadership and its a company that wants big profits. We know Nintendo is a bit slower on the uptake and wont exit the market easily cause its their main business. Also Nintendo's loss is conjecture cause their final result is positive. They have an operating deficit wich seems to have been made by overordering Wii U units due to the overly optimistic sales predictions. That wont be there next year.

XB1 sold 3m through christmas, shipped 3.9m. WiiU sold 2.2m, shipped 3.45m. Those are the figures.
MS have said they're making a small profit on XB1, Nintendo have said they're losing with WiiU. MS already gets big profits .... As long as the devices division is profiting (it is) it's fine ....
XB1 is doing 2.5 WiiU in the important markets (where sales sustain).
