I'm also surprised at the poll results.
As some people pointed out, Wii U can take second place if Nintendo start making the right moves. But they have shown 0 signs of doing any of those things yet. And those things would cost them a ton of money. They're still on track for third place. Smash Bros Wii U can be a monster hit and move a lot of consoles. But I believe that will be the Wii U's last big stand. After that, it's most likely going to start falling behind XB1 faster and faster. Because we roughly know what to expect from both consoles, and Wii U's lack of third party support doesn't look to be changing right now.

What am I missing about the poll result? XB1 is slightly ahead, how is that surprising? Anyways, the WiiU can absolutely get 2nd. They just have to start making the right moves. They most likely won't, but it's certainly possible. |
But he's not asking if Wii U can get 2nd place. He's asking if you currently think it will.

It won't ever take 2nd place, even with discounts etc.
The reason being the huge movement of causal gamers to mobile along with a very, very limited game base. If you see all the recent sales, big multiplats sell consoles well, and they come out every few weeks. However 1st party games come out rarely and few people are now interested in Nintendo games so it will struggle to sell. Also as more people become accustom to 8th gen graphics and gaming mechanics, the WiiU will just start to look older and dated.
