Who cares, I have both. There will always be room both and besides you can't play the highest game of the year on PS4 and never will able to, Bayonetta 2.  Oh and if you combine 3DS and Wii U hardware sales Nintendo is still the gaming king.  

Eh, you already can. It's called TLoU: R (95 on Meta).

Even combined, WiiU and 3DS are behind PS4 sales this year (7.25m vs. 8m). That does not even include PS3, PSP and PSV (which would put PS at around 12.5m or 5m more than Nintendo hardware sales as a whole)

I think by the end of 2015 PS4 will be at about 40m, and I'm predicting Wii U lifetime sales a bit higher than that


How do U see the Wii U getting to over 40 million lifetime? 


could pick up sales as games come out

Because games have helped it so much already?

Irony...?25-30m or 35-40m for me!...wait for  the price cuts:P Many say: i won t buy wii u in that price(because of no third party support)

TLOU: R is rated higher than Bayonetta 2, so you're wrong. Also highest rated doesn't mean much when reviewers have no standard way to review a game, and this year I've disagreed with reviewers many times.

Nah I don't think so. I think the WiiU will do between 20-25 million units assuming Nintendo doesn't cut it's gen short.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

Honestly it really doesn't matter to me.  I appreciate my PS4 and Wii U in different way and am happy to enjoy both systems.  I'm good either way.

More, since VGC is still undertracking it by a lot (2.1m on shelves at the end of Sept? Nope)

sony ps4 shipments end of june: 10.2m
sony ps4 sold trough consumer 12th august: 10m
sony ps4 shipments end of september: 13.5m

 

~1 1/2 month of sales sitting on shelfs, at distributors and in transit is totally fine
here is no undertracking by a lot anymore. so yes 1.9m on shelfs (if u includ the last week of september tracking period) is not unlikely

 

if the ps4 is undertracked, it is 300k max. and that margin error is fine, too

 

 

Why would you include the last week of that tracking period? Shipments only go up to Sept 30 which is closer to Sept 28 than Oct 5...


why not? its 3 days out of 7?
vgc only use weekly sales not daily.

1.9, 2.0 or 2.1 m on shelfs. i used the number that fits me the best. just like, you did

Oh, so it's shipped...

No, I am not dumb, please do not assume I am. You say "as of this moment" but that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about sales vs. shipped as of the end of September, which was almost 1.5 months ago. Retailers don't prepare for the holidays in July-Sept...


right now? were close to 13.5m sold through
first or second week of novmber will be that figure

I still think PS4 is on track to do 17~18million by end of the year, and Wii U is not going to do more than than lifetime.

3 days would only add up to another 100k, which makes it 2m on shelves, not 1.9m. Why does 1.9m fit you best?

You will excuse me if I take your numbers with a grain of salt. History has shown you like to underestimate PS4 numbers.
