At the current rate, and admitting the weekly gap double on average during the last two months of 2014, it could happen at the end of Q1 or beginning of Q2 2015.

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.

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.

But could you make a game as great as Super Smash Bros. Brawl with only XBOX exclusive characters? I don't think so.

How on earth is that relevant to our discussion?

That just means that nintendo has more characters that are geared more towards a game like ssb.

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'm just going by what the majority of people are saying about the x1 online.

Tons of people are waiting for halo, call of duty has more impact on the x1 than the wii-u (significantly more impact), and titanfall has been praised heavily by virutally all media outlets (as pretty much everyone who has played the beta- that's a perfect storm for a game to perform well and push hardware sales). If the just-released mario on wii-u didn't have much impact on pushing wii u sales, what makes you think that donkey kong tf will? Does donkey kong have a magically huge audience compared to mario's audience? And judging from previous years, call of duy just has no weight with nintendo hardware- most people familiarize that brand with the xbox or ps.

In case you haven't noticed - my post was a pun of yours.

I know perfectly will that CoD on Wii U is not a best seller - still, it sells enough to make it profitable. Activision will publish the next one for sure. They did it twice already, despite the low sales.

Everybody said that Ryse is "oh-so-beautiful", pure system seller. Now it's below one million. Super Mario 3D World became a third best (I think) seller on Wii U in 2 months. It drove Wii U to respectable 300-400 during Holidays.

Donkey KOng sold big last time. Of course It won't sell 6 million again (haha, not enoguh consoles even), but again, my post WAS A PUN. but 2 -3 million lifetime is quite possible. That isn't bad, is it?
Aaaaand that Titanfall - which, mind you, relaeses on 360 an PC too. You expect huge sales from that? Overall - yes, but it's not exclusive to X1, this will have some impact but not much I'd say.

Now, Mario Kart 8 is a Wii U exclusive, 3rd best selling game EVER. and a fan favourite Smash bros (even non nitnendo people like it!). I have a friend who plays CoD, Gta and fifa only. He said he's gonna buy Wii U just for this game, same as he did with Wii - bought it only for Smash Brawl.

I think that's quite telling.

Despite whatever you choose to fire back at me with, I will still stand by my original comments. The upcoming games for the x1 have the potential to push x1 hardware more than the wii-u games can for the wii-u hardware.
