Around about October/November when the system builds up a respectful games library.



This is the Game of Thrones

Where you either win

or you DIE

with the next halo, titanfall, sunset overdrive, quantum break, and the next call of duty to hit in the holidays, I'd imagine around then. Or before if ms does a price cut at e3. Or earlier if titanfall has a drastic, drastic domino effect on x1 sales.


With the next Zelda, Bayonetta 2, Mario Kart and the next call of duty to hit in the holidays, I'd imagine Wii U stays second. Especially if Ninty does a pricecut at E3. Or earlier if Donkey Kong tropical freeze has a drastic, domino effect on Wii U sales.

See? I can basically say the same.

 You may say that COD sells better on xbox family, but still Wii U will get it. that's what Treyarch is for :)


I like this. I mean I'm not a huge Nintendo fan but I have the utemost respect for them. I grew up on the NES afterall and that is some of my most cherished memroies of my entire gaming life. but again, something about your comment resonated with me. I think it is just kinda what I was thinking in my head before I ever read your comment. I also like your sarcasm haha because what you said makes just as much sense as what he said. So you're absolutely right, anyone can spin words to sound favorable to their position. That's called politics haha and I kidna expect COD to make a little better showing on Wii U than past Ninty platforms because maybe it's just me but the Wii U seems a little more grown up to me. HD visuals, good power, awesome games... It just feels less "kiddy" to me as the Wii felt most of the time.

And Microsoft's exclusives aren't really that great. 

 


That's purely subjective.  You can say the same thing about every other exclusive out there.  Some people will like an exclusive, some won't.  And for some people, we'll never know the truth with the console-war bias going around.  

Subjective on a certain level, yes, obviously. But could you make a game as great as Super Smash Bros. Brawl with only XBOX exclusive characters? I don't think so.

We all know PS4 is bound to outsell the Wii U before the fiscal year ends unless Donkey Kong saves the Wii U somehow, but what about the Xbox One? When do you think the Xbox One will outsell the Wii U? I'm going to go with early-mid 2015, but what do you think?


Hard to say. I know many Xbone owners who are very unhappy with it, so I think a flod in second hand xbones will slow sales down. Maybe 2016 and beyond?

I don't know about that, but I fully expect the Wii U to outsell Xbox one in the coming months because of Mario Kart. So the Gap will widen and X1 won't make up for that in the holidays. (Titanfall won't do jack shit). I'm not even sure if they can outsell Wii U in the holidays. 

So, ayway. Nov. 2015 at the earliest. But it could very well end up with not outselling the Wii U at all.

With Titanfall it will be close to achieve that but i think it's going to outsell Wii U when Halo 5/Halo 2 Anniversary (or whatever the name of the next halo is) arrives

Really? With the major next gen games coming out eg watchdogs etc for the xbone, that will boost sales a lot and so far, very little has boosted WiiU sales any significant amount.

I do think it is safe to say that the Xbone will outsell the wiiu indefinately, but how long will it take to close the gap? A while as I think xbone sales will still be low, although higher than the WiiU's.

I think it will be a lot longer then people believe, I expect the wii-u to have a better year and x1 is going to really struggle in europe.
