Just curious but what exactly gives you this expectation?

Just a hunch. 

I'm expecting Halo MMC to slip to 2015 too. 

My reasoning: Super Smash Bros is 2 games (3ds and Wii U) while MMC is 4 games.  

;)

It's MCC not MMC. 



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Sorry.  Working with the Microsoft Management Console every day can get those initials stuck in your muscle memory.

This is a really tough one. I think with the launch of destiny it def has a chance to accomplish this plus black friday I feel will favor the XBone. But WiiU has some momentum it seems. I really am unsure but ivoted WiiU . It will be close. I just cant see XBone doubling up the WiiU

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?

The application logs suggest a Wii U victory.

I'm really not interested in your silly games. As much as certain people here clearly like to ignore history all together and shout "But the Future!!!!!" it shows WiiU is not a hot product and despite various fixes nothing has worked at any point in the year. XB1 has shown it can do well in the holidays, well during big game launchs and deals (Titanfall). Right now numbers are medicore (200k in June US isn't great) but it's nowhere near WiiU levels. If XB1 fails this holiday then it'll be determined, no if buts or maybes. MS succedded in its first holiday and we've yet to see how its second is to pan out, WiiU has not done great in either of the first two holidays and Nintendo don't expect its third to be any better either.

My point? XB1 has not been doing great for a few months but has shown it can do great numbers. WiiU has been doing bad for a lot longer (almost all its life) and it hasn't shown it can do well. That is why there is scope for XB1 to grow and succeed and why nothing should be counted out yet.


Not a game, I just wanted to know if there was a chance you dint think that the x1 was made by gods to save us from the mediocrety of the world. Like I said before, theres a good chance the wii u can fail, And I can point to its flaws and have resonable debates. I can see its not the case for you. 

The one that keeps ignoring historyseems to be you, the 360 had some advantages like better online, cheaper price, a year head start and better multyplats wich is why it sold as much as it did  vs the ps3. They where both almost aimed at the same crowd so people had a choice, but now they have lost every single advantage so now the ps4 will canibalize sales as it has shown since launch. Something that will not affect the wi u. Althou it still needs to  be $200 or remove the gamepad.

I know its useless since anything I say you will take as opinion and I should take anything you say as facts. Just in case, my argument was for you to admit that the wii u had a chance, nothing major. But its imposible for fans of your caliber. I guess its like you said, we will have to wait till after the hollidays.

I've talked enough shit about XB1 over the past year to not have to entertain the idea that you're somehow less biased than me. Benefit of the doubt is with me as is history, neither are on the side of WiiU, thus there is little room to debate WiiU winning, the fact is, I havn't seen it sell well yet and I don't see Smash alone changing that. XB1? I have seen sell well, and I've seen MS be 10 times more proactive than Nintendo in fixing issues.

hahaha  i m a windows 8 and wp...fan!the rather,i m staunch supporter of them,i adore  and deffend them  ,but you force me to do a negative comment about ms...!10 times more proactive in fixing issues?windows 8  proves the opposite especially windows phone...(i dont have any problems,i rebuke  their critisizers...but majority wins)

Who is talking about Windows Phone? I don't care what you're a fan of, I'm saying MS has been far more pro active fixing Xbox One than Nintendo has WiiU.

ms isnt only a gaming company!ms is super slow for some in solving problems in her pc/mobile sections,why this could be different in gaming section?let me ask you ,why you keep tell about the wii u 3.6m estimate by march 31th of 2015,this is a pre mario kart 8 estimate  ...and possibly there is purposefulness in this! ,as for holidays sales was 1.6 and which is bad only for you...1.1m  struggling wii u vs 1.5  newly xbone in december.smas bros is  ahuge game,and the other games   are capable to boost sales not as mk8 but they can somehow.watchdogs wasnt a bad sign for xbone?well for you it isnt, (xbone flirted with wii u levels) ,the upcoming release in countries that you keep  referring to, are small  european markets!nintendo hasnt cut wii u price like ms did,so nintendo has still an ace up her sleeve!(price cut is the reason that gc dominating wii u aligned sales) here  are the last dec weeks 

XOne 400,825 (+8%) 2,623,299 
WiiU 348,504 (+29%) 5,119,067

28th december

XOne 295,737 (-26%) 2,919,036
WiiU 239,046 (-31%) 5,358,113
