I truly believe that the WiiU sometime in the summer will sell more consoles then PS4 and XBone leading them both for a couple of weeks. Watchdogs with so many push backs, for a new franchise, will have a good release date but end up being a flop. And during the holiday season this year Wii U will take back the lead by a tiny bit in the overall sales of this gen.

Maybe! Its all up to Mario Kart and they are trying their best by including a free game with every purchase! So its likely provided Sony and MS doesn't have any surprises! But we will see! I agree that the wiiU might be able to sell more than the ps4 for a couple of weeks but going ahead of it in terms of overall sales might be a stretch

THe only way that's possible is if MK8, SSB release well in great bundles (MK8 bundle is great) AND... AND ZeldaU launches in November.



Maybe the MK8 bundurus will help the WiiU a lot?

I wouldn't rule it out. In fact I'd say it's possible. It would be sad though if the Wii U's second biggest game couldn't push it above Xbox One and PS4.

Lot's of bold predictions lately! Once again I'll just blindly support you due to your being a fellow dolphin!



It might take the lead for a week when MK releases but that's it in my opinion. As for taking back the lead in the gen; that one is quite simply impossible, with the gap between the PS4 and Wii U likely being quite large by the time holidays set in, the Wii U would likely need to sell at least 6-7 million during the holidays in order to take the lead in hardware sales. It sold about 1.6 million during the holidays last year (beginning of November and till end of December). A 650-750k average or more during November/December seems incredibly far-fetched (best week last year was 350k-ish). Unless it sells bucket loads in the months leading up to the holidays, which seems equally unikely at this point.

I have no doubt that it will improve upon 2013's numbers, the numbers in my sig would indicate as much, but thinking it has any kind of shot of actually taking the lead is quite simply fantastically unrealistic under any possilbe circumstance. It would need to increase probably around 300% or more year-over-year for any chance, perhaps more, and we know that since it has been slow up until now; that leaves most of that increase for the latter half of the year.
Predictions are cool and all but this is simply impossble.

The only way PS4 or XBone can out sell Wii U during this holiday season are huge price cuts. Im already hearing kids in GameStops when Super Smash is coming.

SSB, assuming it's coming out this year.
