This is one of the greatest enigmas in videogaming. How can so many people still belive the WiiU will sell more??

XOne sold far better (per month) so far and WiiU has already its biggest cards played. This is so simple and so revealing... Am I missing something here? What is the thunderbolt that will raze XOne or drastically enhance WiiU and that I'm not seeing coming?


When this same discussion was happening in the summer far more ''Nintendo will come second'' people were being vocal, they've seemingly gone quite but are still voting in the polls. Their argument at the time were:

-3rd party won't help X1, or that the games will mostly help PS4. I said over an over again, even if a game gives PS4 a 600% boost and the Xbox just a 20% boost, that 20% will take the X1 far beyond the Wii U (at the time they were neck and necK)

- MarioKart 8 momentum is infinite and so will Smash Bros. Visibly not the case from pretty early on. Even when Wii U was riding on the boost, sales were falling steadily week by week with Hyrule Warriors, Beyonetta nothing to remedy it til smash. 
 
-Nintendo Exclusive = System Seller. People would throw up Hyrule Warriors, Beyonetta, Captain toad in sales discussions as if COD alone wouldn't give X1 a hardware boost big enough make all those exclusives irrelevant. Similar situation next year, a lot of exclusives for Nintendo but no real system sellers bar Zelda and possibly X. In reality Witcher 3 will probably sell more xbox's then Yoshi or Mario Maker will sell Wii U's and its just one of many big 2015 Next Gen Only titles that looks like an actually SYSTEM SELLERSand not just quality software there to satisfy the existing userbase ala 99% of Wii U's library. 

The fact that none of them care to support their vote is just evidence of them knowing that they're living in denial of whats really happening.

Thanks for the insightful feedback. And, ironically, XOne might have more exclusives announced than WiiU.
