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.

I am a firm believer VGChartz over tracks the X1 sales. So what you see as 2.6 million difference I think is closer to 3.6. You are right about last weeks difference(looking something more like 46k instead of 30k) and that shaves quite a bit of time off. But that doesn't sway me much considering that I think it's overtracked.
I don't think any game or series of games Nintendo releases will push Wii U above the GC. I don't anything MS relesing any game or stream of games pushing X1 over the original Xbox. I know many people think the latter a grievous statement but they spent 1.6 billion the quarter that TF launched and it hardly made a dent week to week. They don't have the size 1st party that Sony did to dig themselves out of a PS3. Their brand doesn't have the international audience the way Playstation does. The battle is in the US and it's lost. I don't think they can continue to spend that way over the course of the console life without real spinoff ramifications. PS4's userbase is moving at a point where exclusive content will become more and more expensive to compensate opportunity costs for not developing for PS4.
