Not really a bold prediction, since 360 is dying, but I think it can do it. To compare them, I'll start from Week Ending January 4th. I know VGChartz counted it as 2013, but most of the week is in 2014. You might be thinking I'm doing that to make Wii U look better, but I'll show you why I'm not.

At the beginning of this month, I made a thread comparing Wii U's 2013 sales to 2014. (http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=175921) I started from Week Ending January 4th, and 2013 is ahead so far. If I started from Week Ending January 11th, 2014 would be ahead, (I want 2014 to be ahead) but I thought Week Ending January 4th would be a more fair comparison, since 14 days of sales is 3 more than 11 days, and 7 sales is 4 less than 11 days.

Wii U's sold 170,192 this year so far, and 360's sold 149,582. I think the sales will stay pretty even for the most part, but Wii U's games and holiday should but it ahead, even if It's a small amount.

it could go either way but i'm leaning towards the wii u will not do better than 360 this year next year for sure but not this one



It should do better than 360 and roughly on par with PS3.

Assuming that those 2 consoles have similar drops this year as they did last year, 360 will sell about 3-4m and PS3 will sell about 5-6m.

Wii U should improve this year by a decent margin with its line up so 5-6m isnt out of the question. Overall I see it beating 360 by a wide margin and slighlty edging out PS3.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

Xbox 360 will have another price cut soon, I think, so no.



Wii U will do better than both the XB 360 & XBO this year according to my brain. My brain could be wrong though of course. I'm only human after all.

Isnt that a good thing..... Yay? :P



It won't be an achievement if it did, as the 360 has had it's time. It won't happen though.



Maybe, although I wouldn't bet money on it. Xbox 360 will likely get price cuts, and Wii U is teh doom with no 3rd party future.
