I'm still expecting Smash Bros to get a last minute delay to 2015, if that happens then XBO will definitely pass WiiU this year.


I know Nintendo is known for delays but thats just rediculous, what would they have for the holidays? Hyrule Warriors & Bayonetta 2 release in Aug-Oct so not really holiday titles, that would pretty much leave Caption Toad which is already delayed in Europe so no big holiday title there. Nintendo knows they need Smash this holiday, Mario Kart & E3 has increased Wii U sales and public interest, they cant just let the little momentum they have now disappear and delaying Smash would do exactly that.

Globally in the US

If trends are anything to go buy these days, the XB1 will eventually pass the Wii U eventually...

But it doesn't seem its gonna happen before next year at the earliest.

Even if MCC does big holiday sales, All Smash has to do is sell 2 million consoles less then MCC and the Wii U will stay on top.

Thoughts?

I was going to post a more inciteful topic but I don't really feel like getting banned any time soon.

What is the trend you talk about?

I'd just like to point out that the WiiU out sold the Xbox One in both May and June and likely did the same in July. I actually think that there is a chance the WiiU will still have an advantage of over 1,000,000 consoles at the end of the year.

Except we don't know that it is, European tracking here is too spotty to call. We know Japan + US XB1 came out on top for May and June (will find out July soon).


Something tells me you wouldn't be saying that if the scenario was switched. Keep on keeping on Seece.

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

I can't really take anyone seriously that says Captain Toad and Bayonetta are going to raise the baseline of WiiU.

I can't really take anyone serious that says multyplats are going to increase the baseline of the x1. 

What do you think sold so many PS360's? Like they're even comparable. Of course multiplats will increase the baseline of XB1, it's common sense. The proof is there FYI. 1.9m COD sales.


Dont even bother to try to teach eva01beserk facts, he is just one of those people who thinks captian toad will sell better than destiny because its on his favorite platform. Waste of time!

Well they obviously wouldn't do it on purpose, but if the game isn't ready there isn't much they can do about it.

No Nintendo is going to release Smash this holiday at all costs, even if it means its not quite as complete as they would like it just like they did with Mario Kart 7 for holiday 2011. The delay of the 3DS version was likely so they could focus on the Wii U version more and make sure its ready.

Nintendo will not and can not let Smash Bros U get delayed.

I know XB1 is doing better it's first year than Wii U did but with Wii U having incredibly solid exclusives and most of XB1's not being too good and showing up on PC (not even exclusives really) I think Wii U should win, but not by much



XBOX ONE/Wii U/3DS/PC

Thanks for all the great memories!

X1 won't outsell WiiU. Wake up guys and smell the coffee. X1 was not born to succeed.

TOASTBOY!!!!! I missed you. You know, I started this account just so I could talk with you. Also thedrill. You are both just hilarious.

But dont worry I have no expectations for captain toad. My coment has more to do with thhe type of arrogance that thinks that halo:mcc alone will double the x1 installbase in a month and that the 5 exclusives for the wii u combine will give it less than a millinon in sales. Games that are unique in that genre in the new gen, so even if there are niche titles with litle fanbases they will still have to get the wii u cuz there is nothing else.

I do expect the multyplats to sell some x1, and the new territories to increase baseline for the x1. But in all not that much of an increase since all thouse territories are sonyland extencions. But I could be wrong and I might be and the x1 could sore throught the sky. I can admit I can be wrong and there is a small chance even if trends say otherwise, so why cant either of you?

But people like you and seece, who after witnesing titanfall fail, and the $400 sku fail, and the $75 upgrade bonus fail and the baseline is still on the floor and still belive the x1 will dominate all and belitle anything  else have to be the worst kind of people. 

But at least people like you have abandoned hope and are now focused on at least we will beat nintendo, wich for the past 3 months you can see that is another pipe dream, but you wont admit it untill its to late.



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