I'm sorry...but how is it not antagonistic to say the PS4 is a "false prophet"?  Also, the entire premise of your post is inaccurate as it's nowhere NEAR a close fight.  Globally, PS4 sales > XB1 + WiiU sales...or they are close enough where the difference would be splitting hairs.

Sony is DOMINATING this generation so far, and, given the number of titles they are announcing compared to either of their competitors, not to mention PS Now and Morpheus, I don't see this trend reversing itself any time soon!

Finally, even the TITLE of your post is wrong!  The "gap" is the difference in total units sold between the PS4 and the Xbox + WiiU, correct?  Well, how do you CLOSE the gap when the sales of the PS4 are greater than the sum of the Xbox 1 + the WiiU?  That would mean that the gap is WIDENING.

In short, this post is nothing more than flamebait, and I don't understand how you got the mods to approve it.  It needs to be closed and/or removed.


at the time i wrote it, it was (i believe) the third consecutive week in a row where xbone+wii u outsold the ps4. this thread got revived when the latest sales got updated, im guessing because ps4 outsold both combined and people wanted to come in here and say i was wrong or something. 


If you take the 10 million announcement in account the the PS4 has most likely outsold them combined every single week since 21st if April. Perhaps except MK week, but I'm still not sure.

The time of your perdiction does not make it anyless wrong. Many posters on this site knew the PS4 was way under tracked other decided to ignor it and make threads.... take your medicine like a big boy : P

i understand that, but sony first party titles have never really proven to do much for console sales. maybe this generation will be different, but there has only been a couple that have sold a lot on ps3. (GT, uncharted, tLOU)

LBPs and GOWs 5m plus is not alot to you ?

yeah, you can expect GoW to pull those numbers again, but LBP? do you really think LBP3 can break, say, 2 million on PS4? id say itd be lucky to do that.



jnemesh on 13 August 2014

Wishful thinking + flamebait does not make for a good thread.  Even IF you have the excuse of going off old (outdated, disproven) numbers...that doesn't excuse your other comments.

Given release date holiday sales and benefit of being on the almight PS4, ill do that easily.

Especially since this gen Sony is spending the $ on marketing.  

2m in under two months retail, not including digital.

And still the ps4 is outselling both combined on the regular.

Saying the reason for the thread was wrong number would only be acceptable excuse if you weren't flaming, hadn't a thread closed and didn't ignore all posts warning ps4 were severely undertracked. But you kept going.

Well this should teach op to argue against PS4 using hopes and baseless opinions.

How's that gap this week treating ya



Alby_da_Wolf on 30 September 2014

Currently it's closer to 50-30-20 with XBOne last, I guess 50-25-25 for LTD sales could be a sensible prediction for the mid-term, while in the longer term, should XBOne keep on outselling Wii U enough, it could become closer to 50-30-20 with Wii U last.

But any long term prediction is totally unncertain until we can see all the Xmas period sales and also their trend for some months after Xmas.
