Right now it looks like U will outsell One because it is a better value proposition -- I don't really care about the sales to date. Essentially, there is very little reason to buy a One over a 4. Most consumers will choose the 4 since it's the superior product given that the libraries are almost identical. However, the U offers a different product at a lower price with a different library. Some consumers will choose this option instead of a 4 or perhaps in addition to their 4. This is a broad generalization and One is going to sell some systems, but I think in the grand scheme it will hold true for now.

This could all change dramatically with new product, services or marketing and One could be on top of the industry by next year.

This... is pretty much what I was going to say.

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.

3rd year? The Wii U was released in November 2012 so it's in its 2nd year.



Signature goes here!

Lol come September when Xbox One releases in the other 29 countries there will be nothing else to say about the couple thousand more Wii Us sold during their biggest exclusive haul that gives you a free game.
