To my mind what it boils down to is; will the Xbox One pass the Wii U by Christmas, because with the boost in sales then, the Wii U will probably get within spitting distance of the Vita, if it doesn't pass it altogether. Assuming this weeks sales are typical, the Xbox One sell 50,000 a week more than the Wii U. And taking round figure from the graph, the gap is ~1.8 million. That would take 36 weeks to close, or 9 months, missing the Christmas deadline... |
MK 8 will give it a few weeks spike and it will return to normal. I don't think it will pass the Vita, at least not this year. X1 is outselling Wii U 2:1, it would get to a draw this year even without the holidays. With that in account, it will pass easily. Vita is outselling Wii U right now, with Wii U having only the holidays to sell better. And I'm actually believe that PS4 and One will steal sales from it this year in the US where this makes more difference.
