mmm and why is that? The gap is 16.72m. (IMO) 360 will finish at 92m LTD, (2014 87m, 2015 90m, 2016 91.5m, 2017 onwards 92m, so another 8m shipped). Given Wii is about done, it has 500k to 1m left in it, max. XB1 will outship WiU next Q (Just like it has every other Q). |
Because your gap grows by 2 million if you cound actual sales.
Shipped is sold eventually, but that doesn't do us a lot of good when talking about a specific time frame.
I'm going to carry on using sales to talk about sales if you don't mind. That also means your 360 numbers are rather inflated. (84.8 vs. 83.3)
So we have a sales vs. sales gap of 19.89 million units.
The 360 likely does another 1-1.5 million in sales this year and then maybe 2 million in total for next year as support for last gen will all but end at the end of this year. Take off antother 1.5 million for 2016 and then add back another lets say 500k for the wii from now till the end of 2016.
Gap is now 15.39 million units.
Xbox One manages to shave another 2 million from that by the end of 2014, gap goes to 13.39 million units.
The Xbox One needs to outsell the WiiU by more than 6.5 million units in both 2015 and 2016.
Won't happen.
Bet with Adamblaziken:
I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.
