You replied twice to the same comment, beautiful. But your opinion based comment isn't held in higher regard to my opinion based comment. I understand you dislike Nintendo, but lets be realistic here. The Xbox One passing the Wii U by Christmas is laughable, even with the Kinectless SKU. Mario Kart 8 is a system seller,  just like any other Nintendo exclusive.  Smash Bros, if you completely forgot, is coming out this Winter, and I fail to see unless MS has some killer app, the Xbox One even passing the Wii U yet.  My prediction is next March that will happen. The PS4 still is the more appealing console to most console gamers, Nintendo has the best and most highly acclaimed lineup of exclusives. Those two factors alone are enough to keep MS in third place until next year

I currently own more Wii Us than you, so please cut that Nintendo hater bullcrap.

I never said anything about X1 passing Wii U. It's about 2014 sales. X1 is currently 600k in front and even if Wii U manages to catch up until November it's still gonna sell less than X1 in december. You can count the Wii U exclusives all you want but that doesn't change the fact that there are currently millions of people out there already knowing they will buy an X1. They're just waiting for the right games to come out. This could be anything like Sunset Overdrive, Destiny, Halo 2, Assissn's Creed, Far Cry 4, Dragon Age, Evolve, COD, Battlefield Hardline, Forza Horizon, Shadow of Mordor, The Evil Within. You can add to that all the blockbusters that are already released and the highly anticipated ones coming 2015.

I'm not saying that each of these will be a massive system seller but they sure will be reasons for people to finally take the plunge.

Nintendo is the only one who is dependant on big exclusives to sell consoles.

"I currently own more Wii Us than you" 

Well, if you can beat 3 then I'll gladly cut with that Nintendo hater bullcrap. I'm referring to overall, which we seem to be at odds here over that. I never count multi-platform titles in a discussion of games on console because they do not move consoles. Having loads of 3rd party does, but individual titles rarely to never sell consoles. Only exclusives on your list are Sunset Overdrive and Forza Horizon. CoD is always popular on Xbox because of the 30 days of exclusivity (those casual CoD players). The fact that Smash Bros and <insert titles here> have 2014 release times on the Wii U is likely enough to propel the Wii U in to silver for this year's sales. Again, as I said, unless MS has a killer app it's not going to beat the Wii U this holiday season. No one will buy a console in 2014 for titles coming in 2015, that would just be stupid.
