No offense, but it does not make any sense what you said.

Wii U in Europe sell now more of XBOX ONE, and on December the gap will be increase, because December is the month of Nintendo.

Now, Wii U sell triple in America, and double on Europe that Japan.


I think you are forgetting the power of FIFA. In Europe FIFA is HUGE and Xbox has exclusive content on it and will most likely have bundles. Wii U might not even get the game.

Fifa won't do a lot for Xbox in Europe. Here in the UK, it was actually bundled with the Xbox One and it's still sold better on PS4.

People in Europe dont give a shit about the xbox one though... PS4 is all over here.

I dont think the Xbox One will be relevant in europe untill halo releases.


The UK is still a part of Europe and I can assure you we do care about the Xbox One here

Thats true, but UK alone wont be enough to push it into high numbers. Also the PS4 is quite strong there already. The Xbox One losing in its best regions, thats a reason to worry.



If you're interested in Nintendo content and understand german, maybe you want to take a look at my youtube channel! :)

There will still be a duo of Pokemon games releasing on 3DS though. They will do very well, and be very fun

3ds will do better than xbox one and wii u imo because it has smash and pokemon

I think people misunderstand how software boosts work. WiiU is not going to sell better in december because of games that are available today. Yes, MK8 gives yet another reason to get the WiiU but the boost wiiU will get from that game has already happened or is happenning right now.

I still stand by the hot holiday item effect. This year, that item is mostly going to be a PS4/XB1. If for nothing else, cause they are the new cool thing to have. It doesn't have to make sense... I personally never thought holiday buying habits make sense anyway.

Another thing to consider is that nov-dec marks a period when majority (probably over 80%) of the purchases are 3rd party buys i.e, are purchased as a gift/present for someone. I really just feel that the PS4/XB1 will be asked for more than the wiiU, again cause this is their first holiday season.

Infact, FIFA will increase like one monster the PlayStation 4 sales, not XBOX ONE.

XBOX in Europe sell good only in UK, in rest of Europe Wii U desintegrate, and with only UK XBOX ONE don't will outsell Wii U... don't with France, Germany, Italy, and Spain combinated.
