Forums - Gaming - Will the XB1 be able to outsell the Wii U from this point on?

I don't think that it will outsell it during the holidays. Too many kids begging for Nintendo stuff.

Looking forward to the amiibo. It really should make things interesting.

We already know that XB1 has a snowball's chance in hell of comparing to the PS4.

The real question is "Can the XB1 hold on to second place going forward?"

*Looks at front page of VGC, sees Wii U in 2nd place*

Hmm, well WiiU still enjoying the Mario Kart boost, but X1 will have a better holiday showing.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Yeah Wii U is looking a lot better thanks to Mario Kart 8. I guess Nintendo wasn't just blowing smoke when they said a sinle game can change the entire outlook of a console.

Out of curiousity, what does XB1 have coming for the holidays outside of the Halo Remaster?

Well for one......a shit ton of 3rd party games that WiiU isn't getting.

Otherwise, Forza Horizon, Sunset Overdrive, Project Spark, and Halo MCC. Nice amount of variety.

Be honest now, no hate, do you honestly believe anyone in their right mind would pick an XB1 third parties? When people say third parties are a reason XB1 will sell more than Wii U I just can't see it. WD was a perfect example of what I'm talking about. XB1 gamers will buy third party titles, but no one will buy and XB1 for third party titles. That's why WD sold so many copies but the XB1 failed to see a huge bump in sales from it.

So Forza, SO, Spark, and Halo HD, that's honestly much better than I expected. I don't think it compares to Nintendo's holiday lineup in terms of pure money, but it should do decently for sales.

Though I don't see the purpose of project spark, seems like you could do the same thing better with all the free game engines out there.
