True the launch lineup did suck. But even still now it is still doing bad. MK8 had a nice boost for the 1st week and dropped drastically afterwards. The Wii U is going on 2 years and is on a decline. Not attacking the system but with it currently having all the advantages I names and still losing it just doesn't seem to be anything that will turn it around. Not saying it is impossible just improbable.

I just can't see what it can do to turn things around. Time will tell though!


I don't know, I don't call going from 30k to 180k to 84k a decline. Almost triple the sales 2nd week after a game release, along with some more heavy hitters coming out this year, I don't see anything but positive numbers compared to where they have been. What part of a decline are you seeing in these numbers?

It was the the 180k to 84k decline that I was reffering to. Because most thought that the Wii U would easily be number one either the week MK8 released even with only 2 days OR that it would FOR SURE be number 1 the following week with a full 7 days of sales. Yet it did worse with more days. So MK8 while it definitely boosted sales they dropped off kind of quickly. But yeah hopefully they can only go up.

It was adjusted down to 140k, the decline was about 60k.

I understand, but its the pre-launch to post-launch comparisons we need to be going by. If the numbers regress below the pre-launch 30k, then I'd agree that the system is in a decline. Sure, it's easy to go by how little they fell off from launch week onward, but its not a good litmus test. There's always a steady dropoff. Didn't the PS4 drop by something around 90k units difference from the launch of Watch Dogs to the week after? I doubt it spells doom or decline for the PS4. =)

I think It'll be at 40k, which is still bad, but (Horrible) improvement is better than none.

There are a lot of delusional people who voted in the poll thinking Nintendo will take second place.

Sometimes it's just really sad these forums. If you make a poll about the consoles, it always turns into a popularity contest. People just can't seem to let go of their fanboyism and vote objectively for once.


Yeah, some people cant let go of their fanboyism. They  complain that someone didn't vote for their system, and call those people delusional.

I don't have an Xbox One and I have 0 intentions of ever getting it...

Why do I even try?

How is anyone gonna vote objectively on this, the few objective facts have no proven effect, last gen is practically useless, we don't even know if price cuts are working. Seems to me all thats left are people's prejudices and opinions

I think Wii U might just do it considering how really really REALLY bad Xbox One is doing in Europe. US alone just can't possibly make up for Europe and Japan, as I'm pretty sure that X1 will bomb in Nippon too. I mean, even harder than Wii U and PS4. =P

Samsung will buy playstation and take over the world!



X1 will take over second place once Halo 5: Guardian releases.
