I would say that that Sony specifically will surpass them by the end of the fiscal year. Microsoft might be behind them some, but they'll pass Nintendo not far after.

neither ps4 nor xone will ever pass wii u sales. xone will most probably end up in last.

PS4 by October 2014
Xbox One by march 2015

No prediction other than they wont outsell it this year.

Ps4 is suppose to sell 5m by March. WiiU is at what about 3.5m at this moment? WiiU will likely be around 6-7m by the end of 2013. Both PS4 and X1 will be around 2-4m by the end of 2013.  Even so, WiiU only has to sell 1.5m more to equal Sony's numbers by this march if they sell all units.

So in other words, unless you expect PS4 not to have a single console on shelves from January to March then it isnt going to outsell WiiU by the end of 2013


This is a sensible answer. 

Very. Also, PS4/X1 will have fantastic launch sales (that's basically the law when it comes to new systems), but after the holiday season, going into 2014, sales will taper off, fast (this always happens, too). Unless either of them performs like Wii did when it launched (they won't).

Ps4 will have 12mil shipped by 2015 if they hit their 5mil by march figure. Wii U might have about 13 at that time. So i say before the end of Q4 2014.

Yep, all of your logics have made my rash answer appear very stupid. However, I shall play the game and stick with my first answer.

Holiday 2014 for both.

They'll both track higher than WiiU at every point in its life and overtake WiiU during November ish time 2014.

IF it happens, I guess next summer. If it doesn't happen then, I'd say never. (Both)



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.
