I wont give any numbers but Xbone will win in the US, and week 3 will be a huge bump for wii U, MK8 bundle japan It wont do amazingly but it will be pretty big, and sonic boom will also push a few consoles . You guys are underestimating the sales of Wii U this season. It will sell a minimum of 3mil this holiday season. It might get to 220k in week 4 due to smash in the US.

I don't think Wii U will sell 3 million this holiday. For that it needs to sell over 360k per week during the last two months which is too high for any console.

You know, I had this whole response to your post up, but seeing the numbers from last year, I think wiiU is probably only capable of maybe 2.4-2.6m this year, and that's being generous.

So that's why it took you so long. Were you actually saying its possible before looking at last year's numbers? Anyways, even 2.4-2.6m is way too high, Wii U actually has some competition this year.

Yeah I was thinking 3m was possible. It actually only needs 330k per week, and if it could hit 500k twice it should be possible. But after looking at last years numbers, I can't say that for sure. I mean, yeah it has more competition now, but it also has two major games come out this year. This q1-q3 was 50% better than last year's q1-q3, so if that kept up with last year's last 10, then 1.6m could become 2.4m, but I'm not so sure.

There is only one major game coming out on Wii U in November, which would definitely help the system to sell much better but wouldn't sustain the 50% increase over last year, as last year Wii U had SM3DW and TLOZ: WWHD and its competitors had a very small library and were much more expensive.

Like, in 2013, Wii U cost $300 with a game bundled while PS4 cost $400 and XB1 cost $500, each without a game. In 2014, Wii U still costs $300 with a game bundled but PS4 costs $400 with a game bundled in Europe, and more importantly, XB1 costs $350 with 1/2 games bundled. Also PS4 and XB1 have many more games than last year but Wii U only has a few more games.
