XBO should pass WiiU by the end of the year. Won't be a million ahead though. |
I reckon 1m+ shipped ahead, but sales of around 500k ahead.

Can't see that happening. Those numbers are a pipe dream at best. XBO will not outsell the Wii U by 2.6 million (if we go by current VGC #'s) or 2.3million (If the Wii U is overtracked by 300k) from now until the end of December.
The Wii U last year sold nearly 2 million from September to end of Decemeber 2013 last year. With better bundles, baseline and Smash in November, they should be able to move 3.5 million consoles (sold) in that time frame whereas I cannot see XBO exceeding 4.5 million (which is still respectable sales).
The Wii U should be able to maintain it's lead at least until Sping of 2015.

See you call it a pipe dream but out estimates are not that different from one another.
This Q MS will ship around 1.6m+ whilst WiiU around 600k (both could do more) so the shipment gap will be null going into October.
Over the holidays I see MS being a little up yoy thanks to more aggressive moves in the US, October and other countries, so like you, 4.5m. But I only see around 3m for WiiU. Either way it gives XB1 a 1.5m shipped lead which means an inevitable sales lead.

I can't see the Wii U selling less than 3.5 million this holiday. As I stated earlier, they have a significantly stronger holiday lineup (Smash & MK8 along with better bundles), more momentum that the previous holiday and we have yet to see the Ammibo effect.
As for shipments the Wii U only shipping 600k doesn't seem realistic this quarter, considering it is already nearing 500k in sales since June 30th and ahead of the XBO momentarily. I don't forsee sales of the XBO reaching more than 400k for this month and Wii U less than 250k - 300k, which would put the XBO ahead by 100k or so for the quarter.
I guess if M$ over stuff retailers and their stores they could ship 1.6 mill but I can't see the Nintendo shipping under 1 million globally either.

Nintendo shipped 500k last Q with Mario Kart. They were also doing better in Japan, Europe and the US (140k in June last Q down to 80k July).
