The X1 is so dead, VGC is known to overtrack them and the numbers are still bad. The real numbers could end up being even worse.

| CGI-Quality said: So it's not as dominant as before (which makes sense, given the period and events in the weeks preceding). Doesn't mean it isn't still dominating. |
I think it's an impressive domination. X1 got a recent price cut and Wii U got it's biggest franchise. Both are with boosts. PS4 has nothing and is ahead of competitors that have something to help. And it is actually still not far from outselling both combined.

Yes, it is going basically on pure 3rd party support. And since the exclusive marketing for WD helped it a lot, I'm counting that Destiny will give a huge boost. I'm expecting Destiny to at least double WD numbers.

Hmmm I dunno. X1 with huge exclusives will be alot closer this year than wats its been doing in the past couple months and dont count wiiu out as SSB>>>>MK8 in the hardware department. Also japan will probably be alot bigger this year holiday then last year.
I think all 3 will be closer than wat everybody's imaging but thats just me.

What huge exclusives does it have? I wouldn't call either The MCC or Sunset Overdrive "huge" (and this is considering the rumored bundle for the latter). They'll be notable, yes, but they'll be offset by continued PS4 momentum and the Destiny Bundle. Realistically, there's no other scenario I see changing the outcome. I imagine a close US battle (with the PS4 still leading), but in EU (Others incl.), there won't even be a point for discussion. A $100 price reuction would do the trick, but I seriously doubt that $299 sweet spot is coming anytime soon. For either machine. Now as for the WiiU, it too will have a very strong holiday, but I don't see it being close to the PS4 at all. |
If SSB launches in Nov it most likely will. This includes Japanese sales which should be huge. Not saying it'll be close but its definitely possible. SSB will be te biggest HW pusher. Also if MK8 does get a bundle in japan for the holiday it can do twice as well as 2013 #s.
Of course we'll have to wait and see 
As for x1, i think tht MCC will be a huge hw pusher. It should be close though! PS4 will most likely win of course :0

People outside of Japan need to buy Vita's (Or Sony needs to actually STOCK them).
Good to see some sales over 100K. Cannot wait for NDP!

I think you have waaay too much faith in SSB or MCC. Especially the latter. Heres the thing about remakes, they are fan service... not system sellers. People are not waiting for a MCC to buy an XB1. And now SSB is the biggest hardware pusher? I though that was supposed to be MK8... and I am assuming that after SSB it will e Zelda. Ah well, just so you know; games will not fix the wiiUs problem.

well you see smash is your biggest console franchise in japan(yes it sells more than mk over there) you can see through preorders(its already showed up on comg with no release date on wii u but the 3ds still has over 70 days and has tons of preorders) mcc idk halo 2 is pretty awesome

Nooooo My friend. MK8 was suppose to be a huge System Seller (which it was but nowhere near wat we all expected. I dont kno why many thought mk8 would push more HW than SSB. Its probably cuz of the sales difference of the last games. (35mil vs 12mil)
MK8 will most likely outsell SSB for WiiU lifetime, but i think its veryyyyyyyy safe to say many more are waiting to purchase a wiiu when SSB releases than when MK8 was releasing.

add to this facepalm thats how systems sell! MK8 and tutanfall boosted xbo and wiiu sales sinificantly so did infamous! just because one console is doing good with a lack of games(they will come i know) you know how the ps3 and 360 sold well they had games ,ps2 had games ,nes/snes had games!
