Forums - Sales - Xbox One is Closing the Gap Homie

How come when I read the title that I knew who the OP was lol. But still it is plausible that the Xbox One could wind up higher than the WiiU. However not this year I think.

Sorry kids, but "The U" isn't overtracked.

And "The Bone" isn't catching up. There's still a good 2 million or so gap between them.

Theorizing that "oh for some reason Wii U is just overtracked on VGC", just to try and prove that Xbone is actually selling better than you think it is, is kind of sad. We'll see this holiday season which console sells better.

Of course, naturally, Wii U will still be "overtracked", yes? lol

Great reasoning as to why WiiU isn't overtracked (have you even bothered look at the arguments as to why it is?)

It's kind of sad when you just assume people are saying overtracked for that reason. When the fact is, it is actualy overtracked.



 

I don't think the X1 will ever pass the Wii U. Nintendo makes far more hardware selling software than Microsoft. Halo will be usurped by other shooters. There are plenty to chose from on the horizon.



Man, the Xbox guys are really desperate at this point. Smash Bros. will absolutely sell more consoles than the Master Chief collection, so your entire idea is flawed.

XBO should pass WiiU by the end of the year. Won't be a million ahead though.

I reckon 1m+ shipped ahead, but sales of around 500k ahead.


Can't see that happening. Those numbers are a pipe dream at best. XBO will not outsell the Wii U by 2.6 million (if we go by current VGC #'s) or 2.3million (If the Wii U is overtracked by 300k) from now until the end of December. 

The Wii U last year sold nearly 2 million from September to end of Decemeber 2013 last year. With  better bundles, baseline and Smash in November, they should be able to move 3.5 million consoles (sold) in that time frame whereas I cannot see XBO exceeding 4.5 million (which is still respectable sales). 

The Wii U should be able to maintain it's lead at least until Sping of 2015.

See you call it a pipe dream but out estimates are not that different from one another.

This Q MS will ship around 1.6m+ whilst WiiU around 600k (both could do more) so the shipment gap will be null going into October.

Over the holidays I see MS being a little up yoy thanks to more aggressive moves in the US, October and other countries, so like you, 4.5m. But I only see around 3m for WiiU. Either way it gives XB1 a 1.5m shipped lead which means an inevitable sales lead.



 

unfortunately, even if it outsells the wiiu, it wont catch up to the ps4 far short of sony going bankrupt and taking it off the shelves.

and if you hope for that, youve got serious illogical emotional attachment issues.

It's very obvious to see why the WiiU is overtracked after seeing the Nintendo shipment numbers. Now i do feel the OP is a bit rosy as i expect the WiiU to still be leading by 3 to 400Ks come 2015.

I assume you'll either disappear or be banned when this is bumped at the end of the year, those tier two countries had less priority for MS then Japan a country where the X1 launch had more cones in the barrier then people in the ques. That doesn't seem encouraging because if these countries are like Japan you may be disappointed with the results come end of the year.


Why would he be banned?
