Forums - Sales Discussion - Predict how long PS4 and XBox One will need to outsell WiiU - 14 weeks PS4, 52 X1

ironmanDX on 03 April 2013

About 70 weeks each. Predicting without prices though, is impossible. This Gen will be close all 3 ways. No more than a 10 million gap from one another. I do think WiiU has the most chance of coming in last but you never know...

e.g 80 mill console 1, 70 mil console 2, 65mil console 3.

Who said the PS4 will outsell the WiiU?

Dumb thinking, and full of assumptions.

WiiU isnt doing great but thats not to say once a major title is released for the system that it wouldnt blast away in Sales like Wii and 3DS did before it. Graphics isnt everything and Wii/PS1/PS2 proved that. Buy a PC if you want Graphics.

Lets compare Sony AAA titles to Nintendos AAA titles in Sales, Sounds more interesting.

The Wii was selling great from day 1, it didnt blast away with a release of a title The 3ds is selling excellant in Japan, but only selling OK in USA and its selling terrible in europe. In short neither blasted away with the release of a major title, actually the wii U software launch lineup was very strong, strong than any of the 3 previous gen consoles.

All bow to me the VGChartz current reigning 3DS prediction champion 

 Bet with tbone51: Pokeon X & pokemon Y will not sell more than 8 million in 2013

July 2009 daveJ said: True the wii has a large lead now but by 2017 the most likely result will be 1. ps3 2. xbox360 3. wii <-- wii's successor launched in 2011 effectively killing sales of the wii

~6 months for the PS4, depending on the launch price being <$350 and having a strong line up of FPS', racers and 3rd person action games including exclusives.

~8-12 months for the next box if it is as focused around media as rumours suggest.
