I am sure that this has already been pointed out, but the figure now says:

33.3 million PS4
29.0 million Wii U

Thats one heck of an adjustment.
Also, by next week, PS4 should have 2 games at 3 million +

I wonder where they will be by the end of the year?  50/40?

Doesn't negate the fact that Sony makes very little money on software sales.

But that isn't the point I was trying to make.

First party sure, the link you provided shows that. However third parties pay massive amounts in royalties.

2008.

"According to the report, Activision paid USD 500 million in royalties to Sony last year."

That's some serious money from software.

50/40 seems like a tall order.  But its very possible.  With GTA, and COD, Dragon Age, The Crew... the PS4 should be able to get close.  I am sure the Wii U will get to 40 no problem.

COD, GTA5, LBP3, Far Cry 4, AC Unity, Minecraft, Driveclub, Project CARS, The Crew, Dragon Age, Evil Within, Skylanders, PES, Rocksmith, Lords of Fallen, Alien Isolation, plus FIFA & Shadow Of Mordor just released and aren't counted yet.  I think 50 will be easy.

what games got the big adjustments? I also firmly believe PS4 owners download much more digital games compared to Wii U owners so as they like to say "The gap is wider than you think".

Notable Adjustment WE 9/13/2014 vs Adjusted WE 9/13/2014

 

Destiny was updated from 2,265,469 to 2,530,780 + 265,311

TLOU was updated from 1,175,962  to 1,380,981 + 205,019

Watch Dogs was updated from 2,551,200  to 3,032,568 + 481,368

Call of Duty: Ghosts  was updated from 2,575,539 to 2,649,629 + 74,090

Diablo 3 was  updated from 359,450 to 418,461 + 59,011

 

Those 5 titles alone were adjusted 1,084,799 units.

Basically about 12% of all PS4 software sold has suddenly been acknowledged.

Note, PS4 hardware was not adjusted, but if it recieved a similar adjustment it would be at 12.4 million.

Yes, but the truth is that Watch Dogs has been adjusted all the way back from release and at no point did Mario Kart 8 ever come close to passing it.   Although all the way until today the data had crowen MK8 as top game of the year.  But in truth, Watch Dogs (PS4) was the top SKU of the year since it launched.
