Forums - Sales - Predict how long PS4 and XBox One will need to outsell WiiU - 14 weeks PS4, 52 X1

125 weeks for PS4 so in 2016, I think WiiU will have a turnaround next year, it'll sell more than PS4 next year but with a pricecut in holidays 2015 PS4 outrun the WiiU and never look back.

 

This is about outselling wiiu right?



Around the Network

It surprises me to see how optimistic you guys are about the PS4's success, Microsoft will not simply just hand over America to Sony, and they won't just automatically take over the Wii's market.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

they won't

So you expect WiiU to win the gen. At the current sales that is a bold prediction, but we will see.

I just think people are overestimating the other two because of power just like they always have done in the past so it's not a bold prediction it's just based on history

The WiiU sells very bad at the moment. To win the gen, it has either to explode (and really explode, as it has to get nearly to Wii-levels) or the others fail out of the gate. The second option means that this gen shrinks drastically.

 only will the gen shrink but developers will be closing left and right. The ones that remain will go mobile or ipad. It would be the end of home consoles. The Wii U would literally be the Dreamcast along side the Ps4 and 720. I don't see why people want this to happen

I'm not sure it's a situation of wanting.   That this generation will be smaller then the Wii Generation I think is a givin.

Not small enough that the Wii U wins, unless something unexpected happens.  

That said I wouldn't be surprised if by this time next gen there are only ~200 million consoles sold.

 

As far as I can tell there is nothing really aimed strong enough at the Wii's new blue ocean memebrs and nowhere near as compelling a reason for multi-console onwership for regular people and families, unlike last generation.



Will they outsell the Wii U? It still remains to be seen. The Wii U has a head start, and by christmas will probably have a price cut and some big nintendo games out. I dont think the new consoles will outsell it by much, if they do.

Acutally next-box is a mistery at the moment. It has no games and as far as rumours say it will require an always on connection and doesnt allow used games. As far as i can see, a console like that is gonna struggle in the market.

Gamestop seems to be pretty happy when they saw the Xbox which most likely rules out that rumor and as for always on connection "always on" can mean anything

1 year for both or 52 weeks in case that's how your counting.

Dumb thinking, and full of assumptions.

WiiU isnt doing great but thats not to say once a major title is released for the system that it wouldnt blast away in Sales like Wii and 3DS did before it. Graphics isnt everything and Wii/PS1/PS2 proved that. Buy a PC if you want Graphics.

Lets compare Sony AAA titles to Nintendos AAA titles in Sales, Sounds more interesting. 

Power is about more than just graphics. It even affects which games can be released on your console.
