It's funny because I don't anticipate massive numbers for XB1 this holiday. Certainly under Xbox 360's average.


I'm confused, then. For what you anticipated (namely, for the Xbox One to achieve a substantial lead over the Wii U by the end of the the year) to come to pass, either one or a combination of the following two things would have to happen:

(1) The Wii U would have to flop hard.  

(2) The Xbox One would have to pull very large numbers.

I don't deny that, given what has happened so far, it's extremely likely that the Xbox One will outsell the Wii U at some point in the future. However, I don't think it's the necessary conclusion that it will easily pass it in the next four months. I believe I have additional explanation as to my opinion in another post as well.

Neither of those things have to happen. WiiU at 3m shipped and XB1 at 4.5m shipped gives XB1 a sizeable lead. That's also well under 360's average holiday Q so not huge.  (2.5m shipped to Americas, 2m outside)

So, what's to say that NIntendo simply haven't shipped a lot of the consoles they intend to sell this holiday? And what's to say the Xbox Ones sell through by the year's end?

Well, given there are only 20k on shelves/transit in Europe/US end of June, I very much doubt it.
