XB1 competing with PS4 in US alone shows it will end up well ahead of WiiU WW.
Combined the 360/PS3 userbase last gen in US was 70m~ even a 40m/30m split to PS4 (which isn't even close to being generous or sample like from current figures (3.05m vs 3.76m).
Then add on the fact US is 50% of Xbox audience and you're looking at 45/50m lifetime for XB1 as it currently stands (they could still take back US if they tried harder).
Point being, WiiU is going to struggle to hit 20m, it's struggling in every region. XB1 will do more in US than WiiU will WW lifetime by the end of this gen. Heck, it's already sold more in US this year than WiiU has shipped units WW. |
This thinking falls apart because a huge percentage of American 360 owners are defecting to PS4. Xbox One is tanking in Europe thus far, Xbox One has some tough sledding in front of it. Not that the Wii U doesn't have its issues, but if it succeeds in being the 'second system', the Xbox could struggle. I do believe Xbox One likely will capture 2nd place, but its going to eerily be like gen 6 with Xbox just edging Gamecube.

They are? Did you bother looking at the figures I put in front of you?
3.05m for XB1 and 3.76m for PS4, for the past 9 months. If it continues at that rate up to 70m~ you're looking at 30.5m XB1's and 37.6m PS4's.
Even this past month it was 131k vs 187k.
Wiiu isn't the second system though is it? It's been out for 2 years now nearly and its sales are barely in front of XB1's. It's not got good sales in any region. Japan is very weak, and they're on par in Europe.
It won't be remotely close.
