Its easy to have a huge boost when you're selling 20-40k a week worldwide. 

Plus the Wii U was selling less than 1000 units in UK. That "huge boost" made HW sales end up less than 5000

A boost is a boost, I wasn't going to look around and try to find out how every big game increased hardware sales in every country, but I think it's safe to assume most if not all other territories saw hardware increases when those games I mentioned launched.  Wii U getting some hardware boosts from software was my secondary point anyway.  My primary point was that at it's  current rate and without Wii U selling a single unit, Xbox One wouldn't overtake Wii U for another six months.  No one has responded to that yet.


Which is why most people are either saying December 2014 or early 2015

Most people include me.  I said in my original comment I thought Xbox One would close the gap slowly for a while and then massively cut Wii U's lead around the holiday season, but not quite managing to overtake it before the new year.
