I think its a fair comment. Seriously, it's been less than 2 years if you're counting all consoles. This is very early, I mean early as hell. Anything could happen within the next 2 years and to be honest, it could be anyone's game. I agree, it could be anyone's game at this point. If the holidays were the next 2 months, we could definitely see a massive change in the field.

microsoft: 4.5
Nintendo: 6.3
Sony: 8.1

No one is above 5 million overall lead. No major game release except for maybe MK8, has been out as of yet. No new IP has truly garnered the darling moniker of this generation. I understand we have preliminary strong starters, but this is by no means gg. We have at least another holiday before one of the consoles cement their dominance for this generation. Right now we just need to see where this is going.

Wii U is done, very poor third party support. Nintendo can't back up the console by itself at least not to 80M sales, I agree MS could have a comeback.

Wii had very poor third party support too, but it's already above 100mil.  So you're correct because this is bizzaro world.

HUH? Wii had huge third party support..wii is at 100 million due to casuals falling for the motion hype...wii-u doesn;t have anythign that made wii a flash in the pan.....Wii-u is back to the normal trend as N64, gamecube, dwindling sales and third party support.

I mean, he's in a tough spot to answer this question, but it most certainly isn't a 3-horse race anymore.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,

Don't take this the wrong way fellow gamers, but I really can't stand Reggie. He just always comes off as ultra arrogant.

Whenever I hear him speak, I'm mostly like, REALLY ???


I feel exactly the same. Never really liked him, his looks freak me out and I felt he was insulting my intelect with all the BS he was talking before the launch of the Wii U, stuff like "we are the most powerful, blah, blah, 3rd parties will be all over this most powerful hardware on the market, blah, blah". Just insultive.



Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!

My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/

My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.

Wii had a lot of third party support it just wasn't the triple A IPs but a lot of party titles and some new IPs but even then some CODs find its way to the Wii.

Also Wii was a revolution can't be compared.

Good to see that at least some people remember that the Wii U was targeted at the hardcore gamer.


The Wii U never was. Only the bullshit PR was. This huge discrepancy caused the overall message not to appeal to anyone. Not a single hardcore gamer believed a single word he heard, cause he saw that this console is not targeted at him, no matter what crap Reggie told us.

well using Vgchartz numbers
xb1 4.5, ps4 8.1. add them up. 12.6 million divide by 2 = 6.3 million average same as WiiU
therefore its a tie.

interesting could that be Ninty's real issue? that gamers dont trust them? or at least not as much as the others. Could that be why PS4 and to a lesser extent x1 is steamrolling wii u?

Yeah, because XBone proved themselves to be honest with the consumers SO MUCH this gen, lol. 

Now this might blow some peoples minds, but it's the games. Nintendo needs more must have games.
