Forums - Gaming Discussion - Can PS4 Sell more in its First Year Than Wii U Can in its Lifetime?

Some of us here do not think Wii U will sell past 20 million. Ps4 is looking to have about 18 million sales in its first year. Can PS4 first year sales be greater than Wii U lifetime sales?



Around the Network

PS4 would need to have one crazy holiday (which might happen next year with U4+lower price), gonna say no. Though it might not be too far off



For once, you make an interesting thread.

Difficult to say, SSB will say if Wii U will go beyond PS4 first year sales
Wii sold 1,5M this year, in the best case, you can add 2,5M sales from the months coming ( in the best case i said), since Wii U will be supported until 2017 and since 2014 was probably the best Wii U year and maybe 2015 too with price cut, let's say it will sell 4M each year from now in the best case, Wii U would reach 22M in 2017.

 

It will be close



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

You remember that PS4 second year is 15 november 2014?



Finally an interesting toastboy thread

 

OT. I dont think so. Wii U has some heavy hitters coming up.

Oh yeah that's true technically. Well it wont then, unless Wii U sales are worse next year

Technically... Holidays are once a year.

 

But PS4 still can do it :)



Nope. Maybe by the end of 2014 but the 1st year ends in November



Already posted.

OT: Wii U lifetime>PS4 end of year



I'm confident that the Wii U is the opposite of GC (instead of selling in it's first years and then going downhill), so maybe it can reach 20 million.

PS4 has to sell 7-8 million in 2 months.

So no.



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.
