OOps!  Got the weekly and monthly switched up.  WiiU selling 220k monthly now. X1 would need to sell 720k to close the gap by 500k in Sept. 720k divided by 30 days is 24,000 a day.  It would be possible I guess, but only if they give a PS4 free with every X1 purchased...

One of the funiest post I have seen on this site. lol



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

In september, the gap will decrease considerably.

-Tier 2 countries for Xbox One (how much will this do?)

-Dance Evolution (i dont even)

-Xbox One just got a media update and can play any file on a USB(systym updates makes people buy consoles now?)

 

Xbox One will continue to outsell the Wii U because of:

- a higher baseline (speculation)

-Sunset overdrive

-Sunset overdrive bundle (literally a repeat of the above)

-more destiny boost (more repeats)

-project spark (eh, maybe. But both LBP and Mario Maker seem likelier to sell well)

-stand alone kinect (what the hell will this do though????????????????????????)

 

 

Wii U has:

-Smash bros

-Mario Kart and 3D world bundles

(a shit load of other stuff you ignored)

 

Xbox One has:

-Advanced Warfare bundles

-Halo Bundles

-Assassins creed unity

-GTA5

-Far Cry 4

-Dragon age


Almost too much wrong with this. Which I addressed

And Fatal Frame, and Bayo 2, and MK8 DLC, and Amiibo, and Captain Toad, and other things. Like honestly.

Perhaps Xbox should set it's sights a little lower...like Ouya or Steam Machines. They are bound to outsell those....maybe.

1.8 millions more sales for the XOne within 4 months means 450K more a month, which means 120K more a week. Which means the Wii U has to stop selling, and the XBox has to increase its sales by 140% (x2.4) right now and for the 4 months to come. I say that's a fanboy dream and that even the low probability of an increased gap is higher than that.


The Sales rise a lot going from Sep to Dec... so the 500k montlhy in average is possible, but that above WiiU is insane dream from Toastie.

Ok, I can't tell 500K sales is not gonna happen, even if I think it's really a lot, it's possible. To make a better picture, I should have assumed minimal sales for the Wii U rather than 0 sale.

Well I also don´t think X1 will have 500k for September... or that it will sell 2.8M more than WiiU until the end of the year... as a rule of thumbs from some people here... you pick YTD for the first 8-9 months and multiply for something like 1,5-2,5x (more towards 2) and that will be the sale of the last 3-4 months... So that would mean X1 (having sold something less than 1M more than WiiU so far this year) could sell something like 1,5M to 2,5M more than WiiU, I would bet more towards the low end. that would have X1 and WiiU virtually tied at the end of the year.

We are going around in circles here guys. The fans of Console A are saying it will outsell Consoles B and C. Fans of B and C say it wont. Let's pick this up when we have sales figures...

I said I wasn't interested in buying an XBO at all, but... I would definitely buy one if MS gave me a free PS4 as a bribe.

Realistically, I'd probably flip the console on Ebay, leaving me with a second PS4 that effectively cost me about $100 and I'll buy another XBO only after the first major hardware revision (smaller) and Halo 5 is available for sale.

That's not going to stop respective fans from saying A will sell more than B, but should have a pretty clear picture after Black Friday totals come in.

Yes, but then they will say "wait until Title H comes out" :)
