Forums - Gaming - Wii U Outsells Xbox One

No.

Our place is always against Sony. Nothing else. Nintendo to us is a ally; a neutral party. Someone who's just there, seen but not heard.

I'm sorry, but our principles are pretty strict.


Wow.

I almost feel sorry for you.

 

Almost.

This stupid topic again? The Xbox One AT WORST will double WiiU sales. I expect it to sell 3:1 WiiU this gen. 60mil:20mil. Secondly Xbox One is just now getting dropped to $399 and is still outselling the WiiU without being released worldwide. Once these next gen consoles get dropped to $299 it will be a bloodbath. WiiU doesn't stand a chance.



The console war for sold in this gen is 3DS VS PS4, and XO VS Wii U, maybe Wii U VS PSVita.



So Xbox One outsells Wii U's 1st year in 5 months, constantly outsells it week after week, will have constant 3rd party support and will be $399 June 9th. Of course Xbox One has 2nd place locked. Nintendo fans will have some type of hope for about a week or 2 when Mario Kart comes out and then it'll be back to the same outselling week after week when June 9th hits.



Now that MS has admitted their mistake with the bundled Kinect, and are down to $399, I suspect their sales will gradually start to accelerate past the Wii U fairly quickly.


Without Kinect, I think you could conceivably see a XB1 price cut to $349.99 around November too.

It's really interesting to see how Xbox One without Kinect

Is going to effect sales.



I think the Wii U will continue to hold second place for another 6-8 months until all those XBox Ones are due to have hardware failures that will force people to re-buy. At that point, sales of XBox One will catapult it to second place.

Wish I was joking but that's more or less the only reason the 360 held its own in the last generation.

Edit: Moderated - starcraft



Would have said X1 easily before.

But given how awful its doing and the superiority of the PS4 over it. U can at least differentiate its self from the might 4, X1 cant.

Still X1 just cause ninty is unable to provide the games the market wants.



I usually don't get involved in sales threads but even the people saying Nintendo know that it wont happen.

the xbox one will win... it has the best 1st party games and the best controls. cant beat an Xbox controller, it's perfect.
the wii u has the worst 1st party and is just a weaker ps4.


fixed

The WiiU, unlike the X1 and PS4, is a PPC GPGPU system rather than a x86 throughput system. The X1 IS a weaker PS4 as they are the same thing with different components, all inferior to any moderately new PC. Point for point, the architecture of the WiiU is much more efficient than x86 as that architecture depends much more heavily on raw power rather than efficiency.

So you have not fixed it as what you said is simply factually incorrect where facts matter.
