Do We Still believe XBO can't pass WiiU 2014?

You really think it might never catch up?  I think at the current pace it will certainly catch up this year.  So unless Nintendo really does get a nitable boost from upcoming games to atleast put them on par with where XONE seems to sell on a weekly basis MS almost has to catch up at some point.  

I really don't. With ALL of 360's advantages nuetralized I don't see how they can have as great holiday seasons.  They already stuffed the retail channel this holiday.  Retailers aren't gonna take that years in a row.  Even at 30k more than what Wii U is doing weekly(last weeks extra) it would take 34 weeks to erase 1 million of that lead... so 3-4 years.  

Smash bros and MK will be available for Wii U. They wont raise the console to some crazy level but enough that x1 might never be able to erase that 3 million lead until nobody even cares anymore.  

Well the current gap seems to be 2.6m so that would be 87 weeks to pass or about 1.7 years.  That said the current weekly difference is more than more than 40k and we both know that seasonal changes particularly when the holidays come around will vastly change that weekly difference and I don't think it'll be in Nintendo's favor.  I'd be surprised if MS doesn't pass Nintendo in 2015 at the latest.  

edit: scratch that I did the gap math wrong it's actually 1.6m at the moment.  Decreasing the time it would take to pass the WiiU to 1.1 years.  With that in mind and likely boosts from the holidays I'd put my money on Xone passing the WiiU this year.
