Nope, for one id hardly call X1 competitive in US given all MS has done to spur sales while sonys been costing all this time.  X1 is not coming back wining back share or even ever making it a fight, other then the big launch its been rather a fail in its battle vs PS4.  That's never changing.  Wiiu for all its failures and weaknesses, has one thing X1 lacks.  Exclusives, thats one major front x1 cant match it nor will it.  X1 is no where strong enough to out sale wiius ww lt in US.

To much rides on the no chance in hell possability that x1 some how manages to do better vs PS4 in the future.  

XBO has bigger exclusives coming than WiiU. All Nintendo has left is Smash Bros and Zelda, and Smash Bros is on 3DS anyways. 

Saying all Nintendo has left is Smash and Zelda is a bit of an exaggeration. Just from the games we currently know about there is Hyrule Warriors, Fatal Frame, Bayonetta, Captian Toad, Smash Bros, Kirby, Yoshi, Mario Maker, Splatoon, Xenoblade, Devil's Third, Star Fox, Mario Party, Zelda and the Amiibo toyline. Many of them arent likely to be huge system sellers but people buy a console for its library, not just 1-2 games.

Smaller titles aren't going to move consoles for Nintendo. This should be abundantly clear by now after Pikmin 3, Wonderful 101, Wii Fit, Lego City, Wii Sports Club, and Monster Hunter all failed to be system sellers. If you actually think games like Fatal Frame and Captain Toad are going to make any sort of dent then I'm not sure what else I can say. 

One major problem with Wii U so far has been a horrible release schedule, last year Lego City and Pikmin were the only two major releases in the first 8 months, this year Donkey Kong and Mario Kart were the only two major releases in the first 8 months. Each of those games did provide bumps in sales but they were too few and far in between. If (big if) Nintendo can start releasing games in a timely manner (not release 2 games in the first 8 months then stack the holidays like 2013/2014) we can potentially see not only an increased baseline but also more small bumps throughout the year.

Just to be clear im not saying that Wii U will beat Xbox One or that the op prediction wont come true, im just saying that Wii U has more than simply Smash+Zelda
