Why did no one pay attention to this post? VGC was undertracking, no? Maybe, just maybe people were basing their predictions off of these numbers. I don't know, call me crazy...
| vivster said: 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. |
Titanfall came out in March though not February.
2 things.
Wishful Fanboy Thinking.
Nintendo fans thinking it is just a lull before Mario Kart releases. They think that Mario Kart Wii sold the Wii when in reality it was the other way around. Sure Mario Kart is a successful franchise, but it was never the seller that Mario Kart Wii sold. That is because Mario Kart Wii caught hold of the Wii fad at just the right time.
Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

Here is what i think is alot more likely: One of two scenarios. First: They actually undertracked in january and tried to make up for it in february. Second: After the negative numbers of January. Microsoft agressively aproached these guys and worked their way forcing shipped numbers into them. I personally find the numbers extremely questionable. Howcome theres such a big difference from january to february? Nothing special happened. That makes the numbers looks extremely fishy to me. Why the sudden jump? 60k numbers aswell. Its extremely fishy. |
Hahaha, of course you do. "I don't like these numbers thefore they're fishy and MS paid NPD to up them" do me a favour. Those are the figures and you're gonna have to deal with it.
Using america only figure for XB1 does WiiU a favour, if you want to add the rest of the world to XB1 it only serves to prove my point further.
the people who think this just want to make their console of choice not look as bad. Whatever people got to do to sleep at night
And Sales2099...? Stay salty
People who state this don't necessarily mean it will sell at the same low levels, just that we are repeating the PS2 generation where Xbox and GC were very close and WELL below PS2.
At this point it appears we're headed to that same end result.

No it doesn't, it appears we're heading for a very obvious 1,2,3.
WiiU - 20m
XB1 - 60m
PS4 - 100m+
The XBO has two main advantages that would prevent this from ever happening.
1. The price. The XBO is selling better at $500 than the WiiU is at $300. That proves it's a far more appealing product at it's core. Like the PS3, it has a lot of room of pricedrops. The WiiU is already the cheapest next gen console, if it's not selling now then I doubt it will sell at $250, conversely a $50-100 price drop for XBO would go a long away.
2. 3rd party support. A steady stream of 3rd party support will keep the XBO from suffering the same draught that WiiU constantly has. Nintendo has to rely purely on 1st party games to sell platforms, and they can't release more than 3-4 major titles a year. That leaves months in-between major releases where there's nothing coming out.
At this point anyone who thinks the WiiU can still take second is probably crazy. No offense, but it's not happening. XBO will take a comfortable second place this gen while WiiU will fall to a distant 3rd sometime next year.
Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Much much sooner than that. I predict the shipment gap to be under 1m end of March alone.

Its obvious 1,2,3 but its way too early to tell all those lifetime predictions as of now. X1=60mil? Yes it sure can but not guaranteed.
For all of them (minimum-maximum) i see is
WiiU= 15mil - 30mil
X1= 40mil - 65mil
PS4 = 80mil+ (We have to wait and see imo for max)
