It's pretty premature to act like you know what the future holds.
It would take absolute disaster for Sony not to run away with this (they're so far ahead and all of their biggest games aren't out yet). Like I said, there's only three territories where it's even a competition. I'm not doing any crazy predicting. Just look at the sales numbers that we see and what has happened in the past.
If you want to see analyst wannabes, go to Neogaf. People who care more than I do a far better job than those firms who do get paid for their work.
Edit: The only thing that would make me hesitant would be some huge surprise game that widened the audience targeted by the X1 now. A lot of big games down the pipe appeal to their current userbase (which is the same reason why Wii U is selling so poorly despite having a bunch of good Nintendo titles).

Yeah, thought someone would post that. 500k is good for its FW. Selling Nintendo software was never the Wii U's problem though. Mario kart still sold well, it just didn't push much hardware. Nintendo needs a sustained boost, not momentary spikes.

Wii U has a good attach rate doesn't it? I haven't seen those numbers in a while. We can assume this sold some consoles, not sure how many though.
Yep. Nintendo will blow you away then disappear for months.

This is pretty much how it's been for the past several years. They've released two big games this year. Both did well, but it's been a long time since Mario Kart.

That's why i think they should stay underpowered and make a cheaper console. That method works as a secondary console but they don't have the first party support.

Do the PC nerds come into every console thread to wave their dicks around? Go back to your league of legends, dorktwats.
