Simple fact is XB1 has an audience to appeal too, despite being $200 higher than WiiU and launching against the mammoth that is PS4, it's still done significantly better than WiiU in the same period. What do you think price parity in the holidays will do for it? It's not going to beat PS4, nobody thinks that, but if it could sustain last holiday and the start of this year it'll find its audience this holiday as well.

We've already seen how WiiU performs during the holidays and both were pretty poor.

Are you refering to last holliday where it was up against 2 new consoles that were hyped as hell with allt the comparisons and shit? And still the wii u sold 1.6m during the hollidays. Now that all that ps4/x1 launch is done and after having the best E3, this holliday will double sales to at least 3m especially with all the games out and coming out. And as seen by the sales, the wii u has already gained interest since E3, while the x1 has lost a lot of it. Even if the x1 sustains last hollidays numbers it will still be behind the wii u.

Best E3 is A) opinion and B) worthless when it comes to actual sales, you know what does sell consoles? Games. You wanna know which console has significantly more games coming for it? Xbox One. And yes they count, they sell well on Xbox One showing they're pushing system sales.

What was the excuse for the first holiday when WiiU was up against the ageing PS360? Sales barely hit 2m sell through.

Xbox has lost interest since E3? It did 197k in June NPD (no idea what it has done in Europe, no solid numbers available).

I love how fans are even disagreeing with Nintendo now, they finally relent and give a realistic forecast and you all think think they're underpredicting just because, you want to believe that.

Let me try an experiment, Ill say something bad about nintendo and you try your hardest to say something bad about MS, Ill even help.

The Wii U is way overprice, wich is why I think its doing the worst since launch. $300 is far to much for a console that can only play nintendo games and the ocasional third party crap that was rejected by the ps4/x1. If it was at least $250, people can start seeing it as the secondary console. But all the games coming you have to admit than in comparison to last year wich had 2 games, it will do better, and no hype from the ps4/x1 launch.

The X1 is fighting a loosing battle with the ps4. You might not think it matters against the wii u but the audience that the x1 is targeting is the same as the ps4, so the better the ps4 does, the worst the x1 will do. This time it is unlikely that to all thouse third party games, people go and choose the x1 for them. If they want the x1 exclusives then they wont mind and get both on the x1, so in the end only people interested in the x1 exclusives will get the x1. If it was cheaper than the ps4 thas another story, but at parity? no way.
