If the X1 does not pass the Wii U by the end of this year, will you be shocked?

I wouldnt be shocked at all. Even though they manage to find sucess on the US, the X1 only managed to penetrate one region sucessfully.

So, it all depends on how much of a boost Nintendo Mario Kart 8 and later line-up boosts sales worldwide. Also depends on what Microsoft has coming. But, knowing microsoft its gonna be another load of shooters aimed at the US, wich they already penetrated.
