How do you know how well the XB1 is selling during Madden Week? Even if XB1 outsold the WiiU worldwide for 1 week, how can you say it "has been outselling WiiU" as in plural?

Get that bias out, XB1 is doing bad and it's struggling to do any better then the WiiU. XB1 will be up with Destiny and that 1 week where a free game comes with an XB1, October will likely be somewhat even (or favour WiiU due to the Mario Kart 8 bundle), early November XB1 should be up again because of CoD & Halo, but then late November/December (the highest volume weeks of the year) should favour Nintendo because of Smash Bros and Holiday appeal.

XB1 is not doing better then WiiU.

I think people are underestimating Nintendo's holiday appeal.  They have the cheapest console (a full $100 under both competitors) and a flurry of family titles that are relatively cheap now a number of which have Mario in them.  No doubt they'll have a lot of discounts and bundles and the prices will be very attractive to parents with little kids.  Hell my neighborhood already has 2 more WiiUs than Xbones (2 to 0 counting mine lol)

I dont know. We expected the family market to buy WiiU en mass last year. It didn't happen like it used to with previous Nintendo holidays. I'm starting to wonder if the masssive influx of smart TV's is preventing that from happening. 

I can almost see it: 

"Son, why would you need this box when you can game right on the TV we just bought?"

Just as with dedicated handhelds:

"Son, but you already play games on your phone!"

But if they do manage to appeal to the family audience this holiday, you're going to see a massive surge of WiiU sales.
