by the time the Japan Launch comes, the gap should have shrunk down to around 300K. PS4 should easily sell 300K more units than the Wii-U that week, especially seeing the sheer lack of games for the Wii-U. Once the Japan launch is complete, the PS4 flood gates will have opened even wider and total domination will ensue. Just bring on the games, Sony. This E3 is gonna be good.

I see 3 factors in this post and the topic in general.

1. people overestimating ps4's west sales.

2. people overestimating ps4's japan launch.

3. people underestimating wii u's numbers with the donkey kong launch.



Sticking with my original prediction, end of February.

Also guys there is no February 29th, it's not a leap year.



Thone is spelled throne ...... not thrown (your spelling is what you might do to a ball..)

 

That aside I hope Sony do take back this:




I already predicted in april 2013 that it would be on march 2014 but apparently it will be a few days earlier on 28 february first week of Japan launch

Its doubtfull that DK: TF will sell more systems than 3D World, especially since delays tend to kill hype. Especially when people bought a Wii U expecting the game in 2013.

PS4 Launch predictions are due to preorders and Sony's position in Japan, the PS4 sold 1mil in 24 in USA and Canada, despite being a smaller region all Japan has to do is moderately low sales to Match/Overtake Wii U. Japan probably wont sell 1 mil day one, but it doesn't need to.

Furthermore, Nintendo is releasing DK:TF on PS4 release date, which if 3D World's UK release is any example, it will only harm the software sales and consequently the hardware sales of the WIi U.
