Of course it will, but how many of those 9 weeks will it not outsell the WiiU by 184k units? Because remember that it doesn't just need to sell 184K units, it needs to outsell the WiiU by 184K units.

The week of 10/04 is the only week in October where it even has a shot of outselling the WiiU by 184k and it's still not a certainty. By the time November hits it will be way, way off of hitting it's average which will just bump the average it needs to hit in November.

Now, the Xbox One has COD and the MCC in November which will help sales but it won't be enough.


Do you know that were weeks in November that the 360 sold more than 900k units and in the best years sold more than 1M?

The 360, last sold 622k vs 299k of WiiU, during the Black Friday Week.

And that was among the PS4 and XOne launch frenzy.

* Acording to VGChartz old number.

Hey feanor I don't think you understand how outselling by 180k works.

As it stands for the 9 weeks the XB1 has to outsell the wiiU by 180k/week. So if the wiiU sells 60k, the XB1 has to sell 240k. 

Every week that the XB1 doesn't outsell the wiiU by 180k, the difference for that wek gets added to the overall outsell total, so it means for another week it has to outsell the wiiU by maybe 200k to make up for the week it outsold it by only 160k.

So lets say Black friday week the XB1 sells 1m and the wiiU sells 700k, that still only covers just under 2 weeks of the 9 in question.
