Nah, Xbox 360 is 9 years old ... that's ancient (great numbers for a 9 year old system does not mean great numbers for a 2 year old system).

WiiU should be able to beat 360 without any mega exclusive, let alone a huge one (with the added bonus of MK being new).

All I heard all summer was how WIiU was set for a huge holiday because of the Smash - MK tag team and how 360 is dead.

Still I kinda agree with you about the doomed thing. I don't even know what "doomed" really means for WiiU, it's gonna keep selling and Nintendo will keep making game for it. Suppose perhaps murph means sales going forward really won't ever lift.

Your right, It "Should" Beat a Gen 7 console, but its not. SSB is definitely a top 3 HC Nintendo title, so no excuses there. Its just with the way Nintendo handled this holiday, its to be expected. Of course we wouldn't have known that intill Early Nov.

Tht said i do agree that MK8+SSB tag could of been a potential big holiday push for WiiU, but Once again Nintendo chose the profits over increase install base method. (Complete opposite with X1 ironically lol :p

I dont know who said x360 was dead but it wasnt from me, especially when i pay attention to NPD threads. Dont know if your talking about alot of people/certain amount/Nintendo fans/Sony Fans/etc so i cant help you out there :0

Thanks for agreeing with me about the doom. Vita sells less but i dont see it as doom, when Sony profits from it, especially in Japan.

Im guessing Doom= Losing in sales, i hear X1 is doomed sometimes as well cuz it loses to ps4 WW
