The wii u will be second because is the perfect complement to a ps4. Nobody is going to get a ps4 and x1 they have almost the exact library. X1 pluss wii u is also another great combination. And since more people seeme to prefer the ps4 over the x1 both the ps4 and wii u will have a bigger increase than the ps4.

This gen like the last, we have seen an uprise on people who own multiple consoles. So I dont think any console will fail and all will sell good, ps4 will still dominate no questions asked. The wii u will do better than the x1 because is the best side console, and some think is a great primary console, while the x1 is not even considered as a side console, and more people prefer the ps4 over it as a primary console.


Hi. I'm nobody, apparently.

Compared to the vast majority you are nobody. If you take a poll of everybody like you at the moment it would not even register. And people like you seem to be the ones who always get all consoles, so in the end you end up nulling the votes or helping all wich is the same.



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

@OP So.............I take it you're a bitter Xbox fan then, mad that Sony has dashed out to "first place", and that Xbox will never once "win" a console generation?

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.


that's the past, looking at things now, the Wii U has outsold the Xbox world wide on a couple of weeks and and when it hasn't, it's been very close. The first half yeah, it sold more but now, it struggles to outsell it. also, you'd expect something new to outsell something older in the first few months of a year, like come on. But now that the surge is over, the evidence is enough to show that it may not but such a killer as people claimed it to be. The other thing is that the Xbox one was also hyped way more. Also, the year that the PS4 abd Xbox One were release were know pretty much the year that the consoles released. The Wii u never really had that effevt. It was not hyped the pieces and now, that hyped died out, Sales could pick up with the releases of new games but at the same time, that majority of time, The PS4 is taking the spotlight from the Xbox One especially on the big multiplat titles.

Nope, I'm a PS fan. Most people know that I think.

I think XBO will get at least 35-40M lifetime. Since I predict WiiU will stand at 17,50-25M, no chance WiiU will get the 2nd spot!



...Let the Sony Domination continue with the PS4...

The Xbox One was only 2 months old in January. People were still trying to get their copy of the console. But now that the surge is over, the evidence is enough to show that it may not but such a killer as people claimed it to be.

Yes the Wii U has outsold the xbox one for a few weeks with the release of the Wii U's biggest game.

Mario Kart is the biggest system seller the WiiU is ever going to get. It definitely helped but it's not even close to the number of consoles a new Halo or Uncharted will move. For a system's 3rd year the WiiU is doing terrible and it's going to do much worse next year.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Maybe it wont be the WiiU biggest game?

MK has never been the biggest seller on any Nintendo console.
