I just cannot see the Wii U outselling the Xbone this holiday season or reaching 10 M by this holiday season.

It doesn't need to outsell Xb1 to reach 10m units first. And it has more then a fair chance to reach 10m this holiday season. I don't know why so many people have trouble seeing this. It's currently at roughly 2.9m units away from 10m. Last year, it sold 1.5m units in November+December on the back of SM3DW, a much smaller IP (Sales wise) then smash bros. This year, we've got Mario kart 8 and smash bros. . How is it so hard to imagine that it can sell 2.5m-3m units between october-november-december?

It took the Wii U 2 years to sell 7 million (8-8.5 M by years end most likely). It took the Xbox One less than a year to sell over five million. By the year mark they most likely would've sold 6 million consoles. This holiday season the Xbone for sure is going to be around 7-7.5 million consoles sold (or more) and will surpass the Wii U by Q2. Its not going to beat the Xbone to 10 million based on sheer speed and larger audience draw power.

So you're saying that wiiU will have a much worst holiday season then last year with Mario kart 8, Smash and Amiibo? Lol, okay. To me, it only sounds like you refuse to believe that it's truely a possibility that wiiU will indeed reach 10m before XB1 even without outselling it.
