No, the gap will be a lot bigger by the year end.

That's just cold, man. Zero doesn't deserve this.

Seeing as how the bet is already on though, I would recommend betting copious amounts of money.

Regardless of the games releasing on the Wii U, I think the X1 will win comfortably.

fine. I win if by dec 31 2014, the gap between wii u and xone is bigger than it is now (with wii u>xone, obviously). you win on the opposite.


Possibly the worst bet I've ever seen in my life lol

Whatever happens I think both systems will basically be tied by 1-1-2015.

The PS4 will have have over 15 million in console sales by 1-1-2015.

WiiU&XB1 will not see 15 million in console sales individually till 1-1-2016.

Get ready!

No I already predicted that the X1 wouldn't pass the Wii U until early 2015. The Wii U, I believe will get a minor surge from MK8 and SSB that will hold off the X1.

I wouldn't be surprised. I think it may take til sometime into 2015 for the One to pass the Wii U by enough to no longer call it a tie. The Wii U still has a couple of big games that could cause it to have decent boosts, especially in Japan. It also seemed to have a decent boost during last year's holidays. I think these boosts will also be helped by Nintendo most likely dropping the Wii U to $249 sometime before the year is out. This price cut won't make sales skyrocket, by any means, but it should slightly improve its baseline sales.

First of all I would be really happy. If that happens the forum will be a fun place :)

But I won't get my hopes up. X1 will get closer and closer throughout the year and deliver the final punch in the holidays.


LOL it will be!

XBONE is pretty easy to predict, but Wii U has two huge games coming that could potentially "save" it. If the games don't push systems, then the XBONE passes it. If the games do push systems, then the XBONE probably doesn't pass it.

I'd be really happy if the wii u turned things around, and slightly shocked I guess.


You've lost out on a couple of Wii U vs Xbox One predictions already though. Is it really THAT easy to predict?

I was speaking generally. We've had a few months of solid sales and have seen the effects of both price cuts and huge games. There's still tons of room for a disagreement in predictions, but they all fall around the 10 million mark for the end of the year.

 

With the Wii U however, there is a much larger range. Lots of people predict only around 8 million, while there are others predicting around 13 million and above. It's all a question on if the system continues with the same momentum, or if kart and smash change the course.

Stop egging him on. Stuff like this makes the world a worse place. Why do you want to see the world burn, bananaking?


its my evil plan to take down humans, and let the banana race control the world.

deal. just to make things straight. the gap now is around 1.9 million. in favor of Wiiu. if the gap closes by end of the year, even a bit. i win. if the gap increases in favore of the WiiU, even a bit. you win. if it stays a tie, i win, since your claim that it will be "alot bigger", but im letting it slide.

what are the stakes, a month of avatar and sig control?
