Forums - Gaming - The Motley Fool asks-" Is Microsoft's Xbox One the New Wii U?"

I was questioning if there was going to be a X1 stall out in the same way we saw with Wii U. With slightly less than 30K per week sold in US during April I have no more doubts.

No way. MS has alrerady beaten Nintendo in N. American and will probably by the end of the year overtake them. Plus they basically ended up in 2nd place for gen7. When you have two consoles that basically have sold about the same amount of hardware or one has sold a tiny bit more you have to look at who ended  up selling the most games and it's by far the 360 over PS3. MS has sold 64 milllion more games and counting than the PS3. The money is in the software. MS domintaed PS all gen7.


why are you trying to start all this crap again, been there done that, this is old news that's been dabated over a million times already so kindly stop.

I agree with the Article, but disagree with the title I'm so conflicted.
MS does not have to worry about the XB1 becoming the next Wii U by virtue of actually having a US presence and 3rd party support.
That being said, I believe both MK8/Smash and Kinectless Price Cut are both temporary solutions, neither of which will be long enough, quick enough, or effective enough to significantly change territories much less the world.

Headache inducing



The average poster here knows more about video games than the writers for many financial websites. It is best to just ignore them.

 In other words, Microsoft is a lot closer to Nintendo than to Sony five months into a lunch.

 


Man, it is taking them more than 5 months to east a lunch?  That must be a crazy big meal!


Well ive never sent lunch to the east. but if they went via a boat it could take 5 months.
