This is the first "Wii U vs Xbox One: Race to second place" thread. There will be more. A lot more. I'm not including PS4 because its obviously locked for 1st.
Hardware numbers as of August 2, 2014.. Wii U- 6.9 million Xbox One- 5.0 million Wii U leads by 1.9 million and the gap is increasing weekly.
Hardware numbers in each reigon...
North America: Xbox One- 3.2m Wii U- 2.7m Xbox One leads by 0.5m and the gap is increasing weekly
Europe: Wii U- 1.6m Xbox One- 1.2m Wii U leads by 0.4m and the gap has been increasing weekly since Mario Kart 8 release for Wii U
Japan: Wii U has a huge advantage. Xbox One has released there yet... Wii U- 1.9m
The rest of the world: Wii U- 0.7m Xbox One- 0.6m
Prejections: When all August numbers are in (which will be the second or third thread of this) This is what I expect LT from each console. 5 week period.
I expect Wii U to hold the lead (obviously) Wii U should be at 7.2m based on the current 60k baseline... Increase in a month should be 0.3m
Xbox One is a bit harder to project... Should be around 5.3m based on the 50k-55k baseline
Predict LT numbers by the end of August (5 week period) I will make these 1-3 times monthly... These will get better especially during hoidays. I will include more numbers and software numbers and other stuff. This one is just seeing how it will work.
