Forums - Gaming - You think AGAIN that XBOX ONE passed Wii U this year? If yes, why?

Xbox one will outsell Wii U. by the end of 2014, or early 2015.

And Wii U isn't sold at a loss anymore, either, so that's good news all-round for Nintendo.
X1 looks to be in a pickle, though. Seriously low numbers right now, no matter which way anyone spins it. :s

XB1 sales are not amazing and won't be for some time, they will be fair ahead of WiiU throughout the rest of the year tho.

Not to mention, XB1 was sold at profit from launch, meaning a real price cut is still a possibilty for cash rich Microsoft. Fact Nintendo have only just started profiting means it's unlikely WiiU has a price cut coming.

So how does that change anything I said?

Well, did you actually read? It's not good news for Nintendo, they can't cut the price. Your post was somehow suggesting WiiU is fine but XB1 isn't. Not the case.



 

guys stop arguing its bad for the forum

I never said Wii U is fine, please don't spin. Wii U is selling much better than before. It's very much up YOY. It's selling at a profit when before it wasn't. That's all good news for Nintendo, which is exactly what I said. You would say those things are bad news intead? Okay.

And yes, X1's numbers are low now. It's had Titanfall, which was supposed to be its savior (yes, most X1 fans agreed on this). It's had a pricecut and Kinect's been removed, yet its numbers are still low, below Wii U even, let alone remotely close to PS4. If X1 was fine they wouldn't have had to slash its price nor remove Kinect. They did. I'm not saying it's doomed but it's definitely not fine, which is what you're saying.

i still don't believe vgc is right when they posted this weeks numbers for xbox. i'll believe benV over vgcz any day. i feel certain that the 1.7M gap is being slowly whittled away right now and that xbox will see a better holiday boost than wiiU.

whats gonna push it though(halo will help but not sure it would be as big as per say halo 5) when nintendos releasing one of there  biggest franchises this year


halo collection, sunset overdrive, forza horizon.

destiny, farcry 4, evolve, GTA V, assissins creed unity, dragon age inquisistion, CoD:AW, battlefield hardline.

and a lot of littler releases too like indie titles below and ori.

vs.

smash, bayonetta, a late port of watch dogs, probably CoD:AW, and a bunch of littler releases.

well lets see

destiny will pretty much get all advertising on ps4,evovle has a chance but its a new ip also on ps4,gta v is a port dont see it doing much like all other ports,dragon age is a action rpg which usually dont do well with xbox cod aw definitelywill raise sales though. halo of course raise sales, sunset wont do much, and forza wont do much

now nintendo smash will raise sales and bayo will raise sales a little so would hyrule warrios(in japan mostly) and toad

so yeah starting to look at it though xbox one could outsell it but that would mean it would have to sell megatons during the holidays to pass it and thatt wont be easy with smash

A) keep your quote trees down, B) never said you said WiiU was fine, I said you were suggesting it, which I stand by. Being up YoY means nothing when it's still incredibly low numbers. Barely making a profit, meaning they can't cut the price without incurring a loss does not = good news for Nintendo. Good news would be if they were profiting on it last year and could think about making a cut later this year. Remember we're talking about this years sales/sales going forward.

Some XB1 fans thought it'd be "the saviour" definitely not all, but XB1 has the benefit of having third and first party games that will push sales throughout its life, Titanfall will prove to be one of the weaker hardware pushers when all is said and done, MK will be one of WiiU's strongest, yet Titanfall will still have sold more consoles. Also, numbers are estimates and adjusted. Just like Nintendo fans who were happy about the 187k week, that got adjusted down to 130k.

BenV has already said XB1 is above PS4 since the cut in the US. So I would wait for more solid evidence before suggesting XB1 is below WiiU.

Xbox is fine in the long run is what I'm saying, they have a pro active company behind it, third party, a clearly defined audience and price manuverability, 4 very important things Nintendo do not.

Sunset isn't going to raise sales but Hyrule Warriors is? What? Hyrule will go unoticed, it's not important to Nintendo, Sunset however is getting a lot of attention from MS and is rumoured to be launching with a White Xbox One.
