Forums - Gaming - If all 8th gen home consoles had launched simultaneously, XB1 would be above Wii U (launches aligned)

if they all released the same year Wii U would have been market leader.

Consoles don't launch in a vacuum, sales are dictated not only by the console's own merits but also the environment in which it is released.

If the Wii U was released later with its launch aligned to the XB1 it would have had a much better software line-up, wouldn't have suffered the same droughts and may have sold much better....


Pretty much what the above in bold says.

We generally don't have any idea what the launch environement would have been like had all three systems launched simultaneously. Wii U may have leeched some of the popularity of the PS4, or vice versa.

Lol, no.



Locking at OP request.



                            

If the Wii U waited a year to launch with the other 2, it would more than likely have better graphic/different functions due to the fact they would have had another year to play with. And the game line-up would have looked amazing compared to what it really did.
