| Cheebee said: X1 can't hold on to second place because it's not in second place, it's in third, by a good margin. Don't know why that's so hard to fathom for most Xbox fans - it's far behind Wii U in sales, regardless of the latter releasing earlier. |
Xbox One is in third place.Wii-U is riding on Mario Kart right now and it will be lucky to stay above 50k a week until October. Meanwhile Xbox One will stay around the same level but will pick up by the end of August with games like Madden and then Destiny hits. After that it's a steady stream of games and the release in remaining territories will give a nice bump in sales on launch. There is a good change that Wii-U come close to Xbox One even in the week that Bayonetta 2 releases, and by the time SSB releases Xbox One will be doing holiday numbers.
I agree that you should look at absolute numbers and Wii-U is in front of Xbox One, but Wii-U was doing 20k-ish weeks last July while Xbox One is doing 60k now. Come september Xbox One will probably do double the sales the Wii-U is doing maybe even more, and that's without the launch in new territories.
Meanwhile PS4 will probably outsell both combined.
