wii u never had a chance. p.s im not a hater

I can't believe anyone thought the Wii U would remain in second place. Even after the disastrous X1 reveal in May 2013, I still knew Wii U would be last place.

It's about as likely as me winning the lottery and that's what's wrong with the poll, that the Nintendo love/Xbox hate on this site is so strong that even in a scenario where the winner will with a 99.9% probability be the Xbox, the poll still has over 40% voting against the Xbox.

This might be excuseable for any other gaming site but not one that specifically deals with sales.

I would say the wii u has about a 1% chance of beating the xbone in sales but a 99% chance of having a better game library when it's all said and done.

Irrelevent and likely wrong with with all the multiplats XB1 will get.

Well I guess they're just being extremely positive, just think with reason and even they should know it's impossible.

Will win what exactly?

Second place? lol

X1 will win

All those things may help, if they were set in motion about three years ago before the Wii U was released. What will be the go-to means of securing 2nd place after Smash, Amiboos and the various small fry titles (Hyrule Warrios, Bayonetta 2) that have had virtually no impact have passed? All these "right moves" everyone is talking about had to have been made during the console's conception, it is way too late, the product and its lack of appeal is the main issue and cannot be helped by price, software, improving features that will still be lagging severely behind or all the intention in the world. Hindsight is 20/20, after all.

At some point, people have to start realizing what's what, it reminds me a lot of the early PS3 days, where people were dooming the Wii and talking about the inevitable victory for Sony. The biggest difference in this scenario is that it looks a whole lot worse this time around; there is simply no way at all that the Wii U has a fraction of a chance to stand up against the One, it is currently being outsold about 3:1 and even during the One's spectacular low this summer, the weeks that the Wii U won was usually in the 10% region, not to mention the fact that the One is likely undertracked a fair bit and the Wii U ditto overtracked.

I guess the Wii U will have a pretty good holiday this year, especially compared to last year, and people will stare themselves blind on the figures and forget what's about to happen in January and onwards. It was actually never this bad during the Wii days, even with the likes of Hus and Crazzyman, I've seen some downright spectacular opinions and predictions by many Nintendo fans in here this year and in 2013 and I just don't understand the logic behind it at all.

I do wonder when XB1 overtakes WiiU, will said Nintendo fans then continue to believe WiiU wall claw back the lead? I think it should be evident in 6 months though what the LTD of WiiU will be, nothing at that point will right the ship.

It's too little too late for the Wii U to turn things around (hasn't the XBO already outshipped the Wii U?), and I am really not surprised by those poll results.
