Nice



I guess the PS4 did outsell the Wii if your cherry-pick the time frame.

The Wii was pretty far ahead of the PS4 before Destiny came along.

Nope.

PS4 was never behind Wii.



And people though PS4 would fall behind a month after launch!

We all know PS2 had a staggered launch and Wii was always supply constrained, it's just still very impressive.

Well, aren't games supposed to sell systems?

Yes, but the title of "Fastest-selling console" varies depending on what time frame you use. We could still say the Wii is the fastest-selling console if we count it as 9 months after launch.

There is no evidence to support that... the only official number is the company shipments.

Q1

Wii 9,27m
PS4 10,2m

Q2

Wii 13.17m
PS4 13.5m

While the Wii lowered the gap in this Q the PS4 was always ahead... at end of June it had 930k lead over Wii... and now 330k.



Looking at this chart, the PS4 did indeed fall behind the Wii at 9 months after launch. Fell behind even more at 10 months. The bump at 11 months was thanks to Destiny.
