If the WiiU can retain it's lead against the XOne for this year then it'll be safe until next holidays (as there will be a dry spell for the XOne until the end of Q2 in terms of exclusives) but progress like that can't be underestimated!

Exclusives yes. But don't forget all of those multiplat games that have been delayed to Q1/Q2 2015. Xbox One can still sell very well during that period.


Ah, true that.

Microsoft has done one thing that many will hesitate to do. They listened to consumers. It takes a lot of courage to admit your actions and roll back.


They just don't want to lose to Sony and they have Phil Spencer who will actually humble himself if need be. They have a paranoia about being behind Sony which is why they compromised the quality of the 360 knowing the development was not complete. If that had been anyone else in MS may god help us all.

Xbone got a nice boost from destiny, obviously not on the level of the ps4's but nothing to sneeze at.  Same happened with watch dogs earlier this year.  The ps4 may get the lion's share but there are enough scraps there for the xbone to survive, while the wii u won't be benefitting at all.

destiny has had the most hype for a game in history

witcher and batman dont have as much hype plus you have 2 triple a exclusives that month for ps4 so that would make people go for ps4 than xbox one :P

Xbox One will take 2nd place easily. How people can't see this is beyond me. It deserves to take 2nd as well.

Wii U > XBO for me but Wii U doesn't really deserve much success. It was handled terribly and gets like 15 games a year. Even if those 15 were amazing, it can't ever have the diversity that the XBO will have.

Once the games start coming, Wii U will be passed. It's inevitable.

Are you really putting a negative spin on being competitive? They aren't just competitive with Sony.

Sony didn't want to be behind MS either, which is why they lost billions getting PS3 off the ground.

I've lost hope a long time ago that the WiiU will end up some place that isn't 3rd :/

Yeah, it'll probably take the Wii U's second spot. That's not saying much that X1 fans are fighting with a supposed failed console for 2nd... But whatever floats your boats...!
