I don't see why people seem to think this when X1 has been outselling the Wii U all year despite not being avaliable WW. If you take away the Wii U's Japan numbers alone then the X1 has sold the same amount as the Wii U. The MK8 effect will continue for a few more weeks, but it's not going to save the system, and there is too big of a gap between the Wii U's next system seller (Smash Bros.) to keep it's sales momentum going all throughout the fall. Once September hits, the X1 will gain momentum that will carry through all throughout the holidays September: -Forza Horizon -Dance Central Spotlight -Launch Japan, China, & many more countries October: -Sunset Overdrive -Fantasia Music Evolved November: -Halo MCC -CoD Advanced Warfare December: -Halo 5 Beta -Fable Leagends Beta -Ori and the Blind Forest |
This is WW, so why take out Japan? One will have a chance in Japan. And you do realize that many of the countries the Xbox isn't in officially, it is in, unofficially? An official launch won't do too much for sales. MS knows this. I think they even know the price cut won't have much affect after June, as they still announced they will be ramping down production to let retailers sell the piles of One's they have acquired.
I do agree that the One will enjoy a much better holiday, at least in the US, when compared to the Wii U. However, I don't think it will make up completely for the lead the Wii U already has, plus the Wii U's better holiday boost in Japan.
