I don't think MS can catch up to Wii U until December. Or October at the earliest.
Xbone is basically just about done, finished.
I'm curious to see what the gap at the end of June.
After the effect of Titanfall I don't think the One will catch wii u so soon. This will take time if will ever happen.
By not so soon if you mean this month then no, by the end of this year then yes it will happen
ysjarmy@No there is a good chance it won't ever happen because if Mario Kart and Smash make the Wii U sales even a little then it wont ever happen.
Seriously?
Titanfall ia a SOLE Killer up of XO for this year, Project Spark, Kinect Sport ecc is gift flop announced, and Halo and Quantum Break coming in 2015, MABE 2016!
For Wii U coming Mario Kart, Bayonetta2, Hyrule Warriors, and more games annunced in E3, yes, because games that M$ announcing at E3 ALWAYS makes them leave after 1/2 years, not like Nintendo...
XBOX ONE MUST sold 45,000 for outsell Wii U in this year, and this is IMPOSSIBLE.
XO will outsell Wii U not before 2016, and for me only in 2017.
Error, i redid the calculation, XO will sold 48,000 on week for outsell Wii U...
Common Nintendo! Hold 2nd! Mario Kart!!!
With Mario Kart 8 coming in May 30, the gap will grow in favor of the Wii U.
Just a real weird one that the 3ds gets Smash bros first and they didn't want to give the Wii-U the first dibs on the sales of that.
I have a bet with an old xbox loving friend of mine. My bet is that Xbox one can't beat PS4 in the US within the next 6 months. If I lose I have to change my disqus Avatar for a week and can't bad mouth xbox for that week.
Well that' aint gonna happen anyways.
would it really take you losing a bet to not trash talk a console for a whole week?
I wonder if XOne can catch up before Smash Brothers.
This is really, Nintendo's LAST CHANCE, to become somewhat relevant.
Will be interesting to see just how much good Mario Kart, and SSB will do for the Wii U, and whether or not it will sell more Wii Us than Titanfall sold X1s.
