Forums - Sales Discussion - Sans Japan, will the Wii ever overtake PS4, launch aligned?

 

Will PS4 remain ahead?

Yes 29 59.18%
 
No 20 40.82%
 
Total:49

Just a little curiosity. We know Wii is slightly ahead of PS4 if we align sales. But Wii sales were massive in Japan back then, whereas now it seems console gaming is struggling. I know Japanese sales absolutely count and I made a thread about WW sales back when the Wii overtook PS4 (http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=183940&page=1), but now I'm just curious about sales without that outlier.

 

As per VGC:

Wii numbers outside Japan on week ending Oct. 20:

9,478,637

PS4 numbers outside Japan on week ending Oct. 18:

11,591,162

 

The Ps4 remains over 2m ahead. Will the Wii ever overtake the PS4?

Rhe Wii have sold 43,5 million by end of 2008.

7,65 million in Japan, so without Japan "only" little less than 36,000,000...

I predict 40,000,000 by end of 2015, so, i said no, PS4 will be above Wii forever without Japan.



Doesn't matter. It did if you count Japan as well...

It matters to me because I find it interesting, so I made a thread. If it doesn't matter to you why do you post then?

What about it is interesting? You took Japan out of the equation to make the PS4 look better... It doesnt need your help. Its doing great.

How did I do it to make it look better?

I was the one who opened a thread about the Wii overtaking the PS4 in the first place:

So I want to make the Wii look better too? I'm just interested in sales.

Thanks for you non-contribution.

Well then I have no idea why you made this thread. Maybe make one comparing the Atari Jaguar against the Virtual Boy....Poland excluded.

40m outside of Japan, so about 42m with Japan by the end of 2015? Sounds like a bit of a stretch to me, but who knows, sales might improve a lot in the 2nd year.

I think PS4 can remain above 36m outside of Japan by the end of 2015, it's gonna be around there somewhere.

I think it's a sure thing because I don't see the PS4 selling 90m without Japan.
