well september, october, november and december they will sell more............ than Wii U in USA. Anywhere else... good luck

Agree.

This hliday globally;

3DS>PS4>WiiU>XOne>Vita

I'd say PS4>3DS>XOne>WiiU>Vita. Even though it looks like PS4 and 3DS are currently close with VGChartz numbers, PS4's real baseline as we now know is at least 40k higher. 3DS wil do great because of Smash but I don't think it'll be enough to knock PS4 off the top, it has too much momentum going itno the holidays. XOne is going to sell fantastically in end of Oct, Nov and Dec thanks to the COD and SO bundles, I can't see how WiiU will beat it.

Maybe PS4>3DS

I predict 1,200,000 week before crhrismas (yeah, more than in 2013, because Pokémon x/y is coming on October not November), and sure PS4 more than 1,000,000...

But if VGC is underestimate, not problem 1,500,000.

 

But no, XBOX ONE>Wii U don't will happen.

Wii U sell more now, and probabily XBOX ONE is overestimate (in Europa sure, NPD will confirmed if is overestimat even in USA...), and if the number are correct (always expect NPD) the Wii U sell 60,000-65,000 in one normal week, by September starting to sell 70,000-80,000 in one normal week, and this withouth game, and will increase till December.

XBOX ONE will sell 100,000 first week in other contries, and will dropped 25,000-12,000 and starting to sell 2,000-3,000 on countries, don't will help much XBOX ONE.

Only game make the different, and imho, Smash Bros+Bayonetta+Hyrule Warriors > Master Chief collection+Sunset Overdrive (Destiny and other multiplatform don't will help much, like Watch_Dogs...)

While I agree with most of that, the COD and SO bundles are pre ordering very well right now. The bundles are also extremely competitively priced, all of them giving the games away for free. Xbox always has a very good holiday season as well and is much more popular in America where the biggest holiday boost happens. While I agree its possible for the WiiU to beat it I just think its more likely that Xb1 will win. I'll gladly be wrong though, Nintendo still has a place in my heart

Looking forward to the goalposts being moved again when it doesn't win these months too.

MS may have games (I'm not necessarily saying they do) but PS4 now has the mainstream hype behind it. Your regular dudebro will be telling all their friends about the PS4 and the momentum will just snowball. It really is going to be hard for them to shift the momentum now that it's already in Sony's court. This is going to be a tough uphill battle for MS, but I like their drive to win. Good for the consumers ultimately.

In America 100% will win XBOX ONE, but in Europe and Japan(this of course) for me Wii U will win, actually Wii U sell 2:1 in Europe and i expect 10:1 if not more in Japan...

So, if the gap Europe-Japan will be more than the gap in America, for me Wii U will win, IMHO.

I agree with this, in fact 2:1 in Europe is probably very flattering for the XBO.... but of course that rides on how well it does in the UK, which seems to have taken the bundles extremely well. Its all gonna be about how much those bundles boost the UK and US I think everywhere else is a lost cause this holiday. As I said, I would prefer wiiU to win but we'll see

Great games coming for Xbox in those months. It the system that gets my playtime.


What on earth does that have to do with this thread?

 

OP: He's partly right but you can't just ignore the rest of the year because the last four months of the year account for most of the years. Those last four months are unlikely to go much better for the Xbox One than the rest of the year.

 

 

I am not going to even try to explain something thats so simple.

Because there isn't a valid explaination. The thread is about the sales for the last four months of the year and you came in a commented about your personal preferance.  Nothing to do with the topic at hand at all.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

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.

Then report my post to a mod and see what they have to say. Phil belives that Xbox One has some great games cominng during those months and I totally agree with him.
