And it also to a degree reminds me of last gens 360 vs PS3, where PS3 fans would constantly point out how launches aligned the PS3 was always ahead.
This is also and to a much clearer degree the case with the Wii U vs X1, just look at it:
Wii U | Xbox One | |
07.13.2013/07.12.2014 | 3,248,267 | 4,906,728 |
It's not even close.
In the first half of 2014 the X1 has outsold the first half of 2013 for the Wii U by about 2 to 1 and now people jump to the conclusions that the Wii U will be second because the Wii U (second year) is slightly outselling the X1 (first year) for a couple weeks, while still being clearly behind overall even in 2014?
Come on, I think we should know better than that.
