Forums - Sales - Why do people still think XB1 is going to fall to WiiU levels?

small44 on 14 March 2014

It won fall to wiiu levels because of third party and first party support



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

Zero people think that, They have 999 reasons not to



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

That's not much to go by.The Wii U didn't have a system seller like Titanfall early on. Without Titanfall X1 levels wouldn't be nearly as high. Let's wait for May. If it still sells that well by then I might consider.

WiiU has had plenty of system sellers in the past tho. Last November it had Super Mario and Black Friday and it managed 220k. That's less than this month for XB1 and Titanfall isn't out yet ... how do you explain that?

WiiU is paltry in the Europe (On par or below X1) and Japan now too so it's a valid debate.


Because, although fun, Mario 3D world isn't a system seller.  XB1's sales boost is from titanfall.  When that shiny wears off, they'll be back to pacing each other.

Titanfall didn't come out in February.

Didn't the Mario Galaxy games sell 7 and 9m a piece last gen? Seems like it should have been a system seller to me.

Well in january Xone went pretty close to WiiU numbers.February had a Titanfall beta boost and march will have the price cut + titanfall bundle boost.After that xone probably will return to the 40k numbers

XB1 has never been 40k and never will be, it'll do that in the US alone each week. This Titanfall beta boost is backed up how?

X1 has nothing exclusive coming until Kinect Sport Rivals...and then, nothing we know.

Whereas we know at least Wii U has mario kart coming in few month, a much bigger system seller than Titanfall, and exclusive, in june, Wii U will easily outsell X1 all the month, truth fact. So yeah, technically, X1 will fall to Wii levels and even below



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

Wasn't it moderable to call out a user before he even enters a thread? Either moderable, or very, very petty.

OP:

Beats me. As I said before, even if X1 stars falling to dangerous levels (and it is not the case right now), Microsoft will do everything in its power to prevent that.

Hardly. I was just pointing out your lack of maturity, as you can't really get over Zero even when he hasn't even posted in the thread.

That is all.
