Give the Wii U a couple weeks of it possibly (I say possibly because the system being overtracked is still a very real scenario) outselling the X1 by a little and you suddenly get all those people being completely sure, that the X1 will end up last. Do we need a reminder here about how the Wii U did in its actual first year? Hint: A lot worse than the X1 is doing right now. What makes people so sure that X1 will not get better sales next year? I mean people keep going on about Smash this, Smash that, but have you actually forgotten what MS has next holiday season? Halo, a franchise that quite simply is a lot bigger than Smash and is actually really exclusive. So what do you people, that say the X1 will end up third, actually think the X1 will do? 15-20 million? Cause the Wii U is sure as hell not on track to do more than 20-25, which might even be a pretty optimistic prediction. What in your mind is going to make Wii U sales pick up so much pace and what is going to stop the X1 from picking up pace so that the end result will be Wii U: 2nd, X1; 3rd. I'm serious, explain that to me. |
I agree. Xbox one should sell more than the Wii U and the One does really well in North America. However, I think it's too soon to say the One's North American sales will outsell the Wii U worldwide's sale at the end of this generation when we haven't seen the One's sales this October through December. I may be overly cautious, but I think we can all agree how unpredictable video game console sales can be unless we analyze them in hindsight.
