You mean the week that Destiny released on PS4, PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 as well as Xbox One (and many MS fans are likely to be upset over Bungie going multiplatform and having apparent PS preference), and there's a small bump in sales as Xbox One released in regions where both of the other consoles were released much earlier, where it was never strong for Microsoft? With the only Xbox One exclusive scheduled during that month being Dance Central Spotlight (with no other exclusive since June)? And the next Xbox One exclusive, Sunset Overdrive, not releasing until the end of October? In the same month that Wii U is going to see a boost from exclusive Hyrule Warriors (that is going to appeal to all the people wanting Zelda U), as well as Bayonetta 1+2 and Fatal Frame V in Japan (both also exclusive)? I don't know, I just don't see it. But your post will guarantee that, one way or another, the thread will almost certainly get a bump - either to mock the OP, or to mock you. I guess we'll see which it ends up being in a couple of months. |
After Destiny hits there will be a steady stream of games (NHL, Madden, Fifa, Forza, Middle-Earth etc.) and we have the release off the system in remaining territories. So starting september Xbox One will likely move up to a baseline of 70k-80k and higher for the rest of the year, meanwhile Wii-U will drop off to 40k-ish till the holdiays.(in wich it will sell considerably lower than Xbox One, expect maybe SSB launch week).
Doubling will only require Xbox One to move up 20k wich it will do easy with large spikes and Wii-U dropping 20k is pretty innevidable.
