Xb1 way ahead 34 18.89%
 
Pretty close to each other within 500k-1M 74 41.11%
 
WiiU way ahead 71 39.44%

No. X1 will outsell it but Wii U won't be too far behind.

I swear someone makes this thread every day.


It's an obsession atm which will very quickly disappear soon

Yup. Starting next week the XBO will overtake the WiiU weekly and stay ahead of it until Smash Bros releases and even that's a maybe. 

yeah, not gonna happen.

more like: xone will outsell wii u globaly the week destiny releases and even that is a maybe. xone's baseline is currently in the 40k, since it's very overtracked.

Hmm can't tell if you're Zero or flamingweazel. Anyways, before you're banned. what evidence do you have the XBO is getting overtracked weekly?



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

NPD shows it 300k overtracked in US.

Same could be techonically said for master chief collection.

What do you mean? 

They are both system sellers imo 

Yeah definitely. 

so yeah see my point now they both could barely push themselves ahead of each other

(especially since both boost america the most)

But XB1 will have the added sales of appealing to a much broader audience. Also Titanfall boosted XB1 more than MK boosted WiiU.

XD Ah Seece your great but you got to remember that smash also has a huge fanbase(I actually know quite a few people that want smash u). Xbox One will also have to deal with PS4 too.

p.s Well the bundle was limited in america XD(which is why its overtracked XD)



Bets:

(Won)Bet with TechoHobbit: He(Techno) says 10 million by January 1,2014 I say 9 million by then. Winner gets 2 weeks of sig control.

(Lost)Bet with kinisking: I say Ps4 will win April NPD while he says Xbox One will win it; winner gets 1 week of avatar control.

Raichu's First Series:

First RPG?

First Fighter?

First Racer?

First Shooter?

First MMO?

First Horror?

Official Ni No Kuni Fanboy:

Familiars Captured:37

Game Beaten: 2 times almost

Times I got teary during some scenes: 3

Yes it did, but ML lasted for a lot longer. 3 months of minor boosted sales vs 1 or a bit less of a high bump, also considering that the first week was its major sales point, while mario kart managed the same sales of 60k after its big releas week.



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

Wii U has very little software being released in September. Will be slightly up due to getting closer to holidays. Xbox One is launching in 29 different countries in September, and has major releases all throughout the month.

Wii U in October has more releases compared to September, sure, but Xbox One still has more 3rd party software and the effects of the 29 countries, and the White SKU + Sunset Overdrive.

November is where Halo and Call of Duty is, so clearly Xbox One got that in the bag.

December will be Xbox month (compared to Wii U).

Once Xbox One gets released in the other countries, the baseline will be higher than the Wii U, and even while being in only 13 countries, Xbox One is still around Wii U sales. Xbox One will be way ahead starting Week ending September 13.

wrong on all. september actually has a lot of releases: 3. bayonetta 2 and fatal frame 5 in japan. hyrule warriors for the rest of the world. there are also two new bundles with much more value than the current main one.

october will have bayonetta 2 released on the west.

29 countries that mean nearly nothing and sunset overdrive won't sell much.

call of retrocess is in decline, halo is just a collection that won't sell muchand they catter mostly to current users while competing with the FAR bigger smash bros.

december isn't a contest, the whole holidays will be helped by mario kart and other big games that are already released on wii u. plus, there's japan.


Yeah, 3 releases isn't a lot, espically when 2 of those are in Japan and will hardly raise the peak to over 25k, and the other will be a niche title in the rest of the world. Xbox One has 5 high profile retail games releasing world wide in September (Destiny, NHL 15, FIFA 15, Forza Horizon 2, Middle Earth: SoM) and possibly Minecraft. 

Bayonetta 2 will barely do anything for Western sales, as Xbox One has NBA Live 15, NBA 2K15, Alien Isolation, The Evil Within, WWE 2K15, and Sunset OverDrive.

29 countries add up to a lot. Why do you think the PS4 is already at 10 million? It is in over 60 countries. Assuming an average of 1500 for each country at launch (which is low balling by a lot for some countries) thats an extra 43k, and if demand were truely terrible to go down to 500 per country before holidays, (again, very unlikely) that is still 14k to add to the baseline. 29 countries, no matter how small, still add up.

Call of Duty is still very strong in pull, even if the series has had some rough times recently, and Halo MCC is a collection of titles that consistantly sell 8-10 million, and is pre ordering like a beast in America. Smash Bros has only had one title go over 10 million, and that was on a system with over 100 million units.

You are right in one aspect, december isn't a contest. Xbox One will have much more pull for casuals and hardcore consumers with 3rd party support and 1st party support, while Nintendo sells only to a shrinking fanbase of users that have already bought the hardware (NPD sales are already be 100k, and Japan is at a constant 8k sales per week).



Won bet with t3mporary_126 - I correctly predicted that the Wii U's LTD at the end of 2014 would be closer to 9 million than 10 million. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6673287

your denial is sweet.

you are even lying about mcc. it's doing the opposite of being pre ordered like crazy. will sell well for a collection, only a small fraction of a new title.
