Watchdogs released during a period people knew a cheaper Xbox was coming ....

And when the cheaper Xbox came out, how well did that turn out?

We've not seen sales for July yet, all we know is it did around 200k in June in US.

But it's a very dry period for XB1 (and will continue until Madden later this month) whereas WiiU just got a huge game and it's just on par with XB1. What does that tell you?

What do you think sales would look like if WiiU didn't get any big game and XB1 just got Halo? XB1 would be outselling it X4.

So you are ignoring VGC numbers and solely basing your prediction around assumed NPD figures. 

Also, how is this not a dry period for Wii U just the same?   Didn't Mario Kart 8 and Watch Dogs both launch at practically the same time ago? 

Cheaper Xbox has been ineffective (partially, it still raised sales in US to 200k. Because Titanfall for $399 ruined the value proposition, MS shot themselves in the foot. When more $399 bundles come along like the Madden and Sunset ones, they will be more appealing.

Yes I'm ignoring VGC figures (for now). What is and isn't dry for WiiU? MK is still clearly having an effect on sales.
