The excuses are already pre-built for the Wii U this holiday.

If/when it's holiday sales come out not being so great (like last holiday) the excuse will be that Smash Bros. on 3DS negatively impacted Smash Bros. on Wii U and that $299 is too expensive for kids wanting amiibo. 

Just watch, lol.


to be fair people been saying that since they announced it would be multiplat

It won't, and it was never going too.

Yes, easily, obviously. Will X1 outsell PS3,though?

What exactly is obvious about it? Pretty much nothing. Smash appeals to core Nintendo fans and that's pretty much the only system selling thing WiiU has this holiday.


It'll be PS4 > 3DS > XB1 > WiIU > 360/PS3.

Given good enough bundles though and PS360 can be on par with WiiU, they were nearly double WiiU last holiday =)

I could honestly see it going either way. Smash released for the holiday should be huge and meanwhile xbone is getting the usual yearly releases and the mcc, could be the holidays are closer than either side would like to admit.

I call bullshit. It's a competitive fighter that is held in high regard. Everything else that is coming is just icing on the cake... Xbox has multiplats and halo coming. Oh my... such excite..

You can call BS all you like, you'd be wrong. Halo and all those multiplats are open to a much, much bigger potential target audience. So yes, very exciting.

Everything else coming on the WiiU is icing on the cake for WiiU owners, but it won't sell any hardware. Bayo and Hyrule ect are as niche as they come.

WiiU rides on selling Smash to core Nintendo fans this holiday, and Amibo to Skylanders/Disney Infinity fans (market is dying down anyway).

XB1 has the advantage of all its games appealing to the mass audience that had PS360's (125m+). Sure the majority will chose PS4, but there is a lot left over that will want XB1 too.

Hence as we're seeing/will see. Madden, Destiny ect. Multiplats selling XB1's.

See the UK split btw for Destiny?
