People thinking that 3rd party titles like CoD are going to boost XB1 sales are in for a rude awakening.

There is literally ZERO reason to buy an XB1 for those games when the PS4 is the same price, looks better, and comes with exclusive content.


But A lot of people, especially americans still prefer xbox more than PS.

The X1 isnt going to start selling like the PS4, but it doesnt have to in order to beat the wii U.

americans arent the only ones that buy consoles

you need to have consistent sales in europe and asia(example around 20k wii u and 40k ps4 for europe)

Because it didn't, it's still MK8 boosting the sales and that won't last forever. It probably will drop below XOne in the coming weeks and come September it won't be able to beat it for a long time, if ever(atleast for a full month).

Do you still count on third partys to move x1? Prepare for disapointment. After each exclusive realease the wii u will double the x1 on every realease week.

MK8 is Wii-U's biggest title, and not just so far but likely ever to hit the system. The only really big game that's coming this year for Wii-U is SSB, and that releases on 3DS first taking away some momentum from the Wii-U version. By the time that launches we will be in the holiday season.

Every major game of this year will then have released on Xbox One, and the system will have released in new markets. 

If Wii-U beats Xbox One it might do it with SSB launch but even that is unlikely and it wouldn't be more than one or two weeks.

MK8 might be the biggest title, I personally belive is smash bros, but do you really belive that takes away from the other titles. As I said in previous post, the games comming to the wii u might not be the biggest, but they are unique to this generation. The ps4 or x1 dont have any hack and slash like bayoneta, no japanese centric rpg like hyrule wariors, I dont think any corky puzzles like captain toad, skylanders will be dominant on the wii u. fans of thouse types of games will only be satisfied on the wii u.

Thouse new markets will boost sales on the first week of realease only, non of thouse contrys are interested in the xbox brand, wich is why they have not realesed on thouse areas. 

Like it was said before, the people interested in third party titles that have no consoles yet wont choose an x1 to play them. They will sell well to existen owners but that is it. Who is going to choose the inferior version of a game and future games for the same price, actually higher if you consider that live is $10 more than ps+. And if you think thouse exclusives will appeal to people who dont already have the x1, then prepare for dissapointment, but you most likely are used to it if your an xbox fan.

The only way the x1 has a chance of selling is depending on the deals that MS has planed for the hollidays, if they are week, x1 will sell no more the 2m by the end of the year. The wii u I expect to sell at least 3.5m.

I absolutely agree with you that Wii-U has certain games that are unique to the system. Even important most big multi-platform games will likely boost ps4 more than Xbox One. But even with all that there are people that prefer the Xbox One, and that group is likely bigger than those interested in the Wii-U. Xbox One barely needs any exclusives to outsell the Wii-U that is completely dependent on it's exclusives. 

So once SSB hits it will be holiday season, and Xbox One will be selling much higher. It won't get close to the sales of PS4, but it will be higher than what Wii-U will do.

And with releasing on new markets i mean it will boost the Xbox One's bottom line, even if it's just 5k-10k in slow weeks.



Mr.Playstation on 21 July 2014

Xbox one will probably take second place,due to a couple of reasons:
1. Microsoft has a higher hardcore userbase coming from last gen which will buy anything microsoft produces while most people who owned a wii were mostly casuals who either moved on to smartphones and tablets or never really want to invest much in gaming.
2. Higher third party support for microsoft's console enough said.

If that were true the sales would have reflected that. Americans prefer the ps4. Anyways america alone is not enouf wich is why the 360 lost the generation. The xbox brand is doomed outside the US. Wich is the reason the x1 will never pass the wii u cuz the wii u is beating it for a few months now all over the world.



It takes genuine talent to see greatness in yourself despite your absence of genuine talent.

20 people can be considered a lot of people depending on the scale we're talking. Most people though, prefer the PS4 because it's better in every measurable area at the exact same price point. The only thing XB1 has is Halo and Gears, and both of those titles are on the decline.

Destiny and CoD will be huge boosts for PS4 and paltry boosts at best for XB1.

Nintendo is struggling with releases, but at least the releases they have can push consoles.

Why do you guys hate the wii u so much ? Never give up on those doom predictions!



ice on 21 July 2014

lol Some people are really funny, hope someone bumps this thread when Xbox One passes the Wii U.



LuminesDragon on 21 July 2014

Why do people act like third party support is 100% dead for wii u ?Sure it's not getting anything this year, but yearlys still come out for older systems, so they are, and probably will still make them next year for systems like ps3/360/wii u. All they are waiting for is stable wii u sales, before they make(port) games, and mk8 and smash will stabelise it. Most will come back when the base gets bigger.

It's not just 3rd party, but the combination of both 3rd and 1st party from Microsoft. That managed to keep the original Xbox ahead of the GameCube, so I don't see how its impossible for that to happen again.

I also bought an XB1 over a PS4 despite the fact that PS4 has superior hardware. Hardware superiority isn't that big of a selling point to me obviously, I did buy a Wii U after all :P. I'd just rather have access to future XB1 exclusives than Sony's. Having owned a PS3 I just wasn't that impressed with the exclusives it offered aside from Gran Turismo & LittleBigPlanet :/
