Going with the XB1.

Granted, the Wii U has some big franchise sequels coming up, but it's been on the market long enough that there really isn't any indicator that the Wii U won't be the Game Cube of the 8th gen. GC had those big franchises as well.


Ur right that Wii U is likely the Gamecube of this generation but whats stopping Xbox One from being the original Xbox of this generation?


games, all 3rd party games ill get. 

Its price cuts will help, while u is already at mass market prices and its not selling liek it is.

The original Xbox had great 3rd party support in terms of mulitplats and exclusives as well and was most powerful with by far the best online yet it only sold 25 million, just 3 million more than Gamecube.

It could definitely be argued that Xbox 360 greatly increased the brands popularity or maybe it only sold so well because of the huge price advantage over PS3, year head start, better online, best versions of multiplats in the first half of the gen and Kinect to lure in casuals in the second half.

Now that it doesnt have those advantages over Playstation anymore its very possible that the vast majority of core gamers that play 3rd party games and love online willl choose PS4 putting Xbox One back in a similar position as the original Xbox was.

Possibly a price cut and Titanfall will cause a huge surge in sales but at the same time Halo+$199 price tag within 6 months didnt get Xbox over 25 million.

Does not matter PS4 superior. PS4 is the clear chocie and is now untouchable but as far as battle for second and just how big 2nd palce will be is very open.  This is a battle for sales between X1 and U, bone set best sales records for xbox while U is selling worse then any other ninty console ever. 

Market sees U as irrelevent and ill be lucky to get near 20m, X1 still has a chance a good one to carve out decent sales.  PS2 had plenty games xbox didnt, thing are much more even on PS4/X1 though PS4 is pulling away. 

U dont see the fallancy of comparing the first xbox and first halo to an now established xbox and halo brands ?
