It looks that all the boost provided by MK on the U wasn't very effective since Destiny on September just made the X1 not only recover all lost terrain but gain a lot more.
These two are struggling for escape to the last spot... and for the first time, xbox (the Eternal Last) has a chance...
If Smash fails to boost WiiU by a lot X1 might outsell it before the end of the year. If not, it should happen early next year
XO will pass Wii U by 2016-2017, even if Smash Bros will be Flop.
Wii U will sell minimum 10 million this year, and XO the maximum is 9 million.
I have both systems. It's going to be a great winter in terms of games on both systems. Kicking off with Bayonetta 2 which scored 10/10 on Gamespot.
WiiU should go all the way up to at least 8.5 to 9 million units sold by Jan; with that number Nintendo can really play with; and will start dropping bombs even more than it already has been doing after it hit 7 million... Great Games on it now Bayontetta2, Smash, Hyrule Warriors these games are already helping the WiiUs sales numbers, and in 2015 if you don't own a WiiU prepare to be disappointed just Zelda adn Xenoblade alone are enough to make you forget about the POS4 and XboxNone. and dont even get me started on how great Devils Third is looking on the WiiU and Star Fox the most updated game is within Bayonetta2 talk about taking over a franchise Bayonetta2 gives us a taste of what Star Fox has in store for us on an Easter egg awesome and its Only on WiiU ^_~
