Do you expect Sunset Overdrive to push the system sales? Now that's non sense. Maybe The Master Chief Collection will do it, but since it's an HD Collection of previous games, I don't think it will have the same impact as Super Smash Bros. 

No no, my point is you think MS first party is better at pushing system sales than Nintendo's is.

Are you certain?

I think you're way too optimistic. Super Smash Bros will push Wii U's sales considerably by the end of the year, Xbox One has nothing to match that, essentially because games like Destiny, CoD, and GTA V are also coming to PS4. Not to mention that the Fifa bundles are not going to work either since PS4 is way stronger in Europe. Xbox One's release in Japan will not add a significant amount of sales to the system.

I actually expect the gap between Wii U and Xbox One to increase by the end of the year.

Halo, Sunset > Titanfall and Plants vs Zombies?

Don't get what I mean? That's because you're not making sense.

What? No, I think you misunderstood me. What I intended to say is totally the opposite. Wii U has Super Smash Bros, Xbox One has nothing to match that.

No, you can't have it both ways. Something is selling XB1's, it's either exclusives or multiplats (in reality it's both but considering you don't think either are worthy). End of the day, XB1 has outsold WiiU at nearly every avenue save the past couple of months where they have been on par (and in terms of shipments XB1 is constantly shipping more).

So what is it?

Yes, you are correct, the Xbox  One was outselling Wii U in the past months, but that changed since MK8 was released. Exclusives and Multiplatform games may push Xbox One's sales, BUT Wii U is going to have stronger sales due to Super Smash. Xbox One can't match that, the closest thing they've got is the Master Chief Collection, but I don't expect it to have the same impact.

grasping at straws here i get this feeling that XB fans are doing all these XB vs WiiU threads b/c they cant do XB vs PS... not even in US. that was the norm on here last gen as it should be b/c both of those consoles are in direct competition with each other. i get it... XB will soon pass the WiiU globally but then what?

i think theres a good chance it can pass the WiiU before years end but dont think that chance is so good that it will also have a million lead on it

but at least one thing good can come of this that pezus will return if hes willing i would also like to take the bet as i think 600-700k is possible for sep as i mentioned in the other thread so 500k should be a cake walk, if i win i want the original PS thread to come back no offense to the guy whos doing it now but its stale and might never get to 40k posts let alone 50 atleast with pezus' thread we have a better chance of overtaking the MS thread

I'm glad about two things:
a) Putting "homie" into the title, so we immediately know it's a Toastboy thread
b) Finally realizing this gen has become a runner-up competition

I think XOne will pass WiiU by New Year.


Bold and underlined.

Also XB1 already has Titanfall and is selling less than the Wii U, so I just don't think any game now is going to turn around the fortune of the XB1.

What we need to talk about is when China begins rolling out the consoles at offical level, only then is there a chance of a game changer for MS or Nintendo.  I think China will just see the Sony landslide increase and Nintendo just stay ahead of MS.



Sony want to make money by selling art, Nintendo want to make money by selling fun, Microsoft want to make money.

Is this one of those "what gets weter as it drys?" Riddles?

Not really, and the weeks it has it's been miniscule amounts. Smash isn't the saviour you think it is.

A) It's actually Nintendo fans I find (aside from this one and my other one and B) why would you bother doing a PS4 vs XB1 when you know the outcome has already arrived.

No point talking about XB1 overtaking PS4 until it actually shows signs of doing so.
