Will the XBOX One outsell the SNES?

It won't be that bad for X1 simply because its better supported. I think Wii U production really ended in 2016, before Switch even released. It certainly seems that way based on sales.

Also, X1 is actually being supported whether it be by MS or 3rd parties. The subscription services appear to be really good to their revenue as well.

Wii U sold mostly between 30-40k a week. The XBO ain't that much above that anymore, and by next year could very well reach those weekly sales - especially after the successor has been announced.

And yeah, production ended in Fall 2016 for the Wii U.

Depends on the month, summer is historically slow. Earlier in the year the X1 was selling 60-100K a week. I have a gut feeling we could see a sales increase during November and December, but that's speculation of course.

So again, it just really depends on what MS does. With good deals and continued support, it will fly past SNES. If MS treats X1 like Wii U, then it won't happen. Its kinda like we're just making guesses on whether or not MS will support the X1.

I used to think the X1 GPU was to weak for continued support in the 9th gen. However, we see Switch owners getting excited about sub-HD games. That tells me X1 can continue support regardless how low the resolutions get.
