I don't think it's just one good week. I think it's the fact that the timing of this week and the windfall of a meme being born has really put Nintendo in a good place. The rest of the 2014 lineup looks pretty amazing and fairly varied for a change. All it would take for Nintendo to blow the Xbone straight out of the water is the reveal of Zelda U and Retro's new Metroid at E3.

Not that it really matters. Nintendo's audience usually has negligible overlap with Sony or MS and neither one of those systems will really affect Wii U sales. Nintendo is the only one that can kill or save Nintendo. I seriously doubt the Xbone's going to corner the market on Platformers and Kart games lol.

I'll say that PS4 is Xbone's biggest obstacle to being #2, because while Sony's working them over in sales and multiplats, Nintendo can do whatever the hell it wants.

I completely agree. But also keep in mind that all the best games for ps4 and Xbox are coming at least on 2014. the only game that can sale systems is destiny for the remainder of the year, while the wii u has planed hyrule warriors, bayoneta 2, x, smash bros. all o this influence holiday sales witch will give great boost. 

Still believe the ps4 will be on top, but the Xbox with just sunset overdrive and removed kinect(not a price drop) will not see a lot of light.

Year end

PS4 ~ 14

Wii U ~ 10

 

XBOX ONE ~ 6.5

Previously the entry price for XB1 was $499, now it's $399. It's going to have the same effect as a price drop. Second, you expect only 2m from now to years end? It'll do that in US Nov+ Dec.

Thirdly, Halo Collection and Sunset along with multiplats will sell more xboxes than Smash will sell WiiU's. You want proof? Go look at the last 9 months, multiplats aren't exclusively helping PS4.
