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

i don't know about shocked. wiiU has almost a 2M lead and xbone only outsold wiiU by 50k this week. 

Considering X1 sold 85K and Wii U sold 33K, that 50K is more than double, it's a big difference.

 

wiiU is at 4.11M.  xbone is at 5.96M.  this week wiiU sold 33.822k.  this week xbone sole 85.073k.

if wiiU stopped selling entirely then it would take 36 weeks for xbone to catch up to wiiU at the current sales difference.  correct the math to account for wiiU sells 33k each week (moving the goalpost forward each week) and that number jumps to 106 weeks.

 

in short: it's a big difference in small numbers with wiiU currently enjoying a large lead.  obviously the holidays will throw of this math (probably shorten the weeks) but there is no gaurentee that xbone overtakes wiiU this year.  i'd say closer to 50/50.
