"Interestingly, both the PlayStation 2 and the Wii – the two best-selling consoles of all time – sold less games when they hit 50 million hardware sales: 308 million and 353 million game sales respectively."  - pushsquare.com

Wow around 2.4 billion revenue in physical software.

(I know some of these games aren't bought at full price but the expensive games in europe and the UK and elsewhere around the world like Australia make up for that)

It's catching up because Wii doesn't sell software any more?

???

Wii 100m sold 500m software sold

PS4 60m sold 400m software sold

What does that have to do with Wii selling software anymore?

Edit: Ohhhh I didn't realise Barkleys comment was launch alligned.

It's weird to me that the Xbox One has almost exactly half the physical game sales as the PS4. It seems like literally almost every major release that's not a dudebro shooter has the PS4 leading like 4:1

~$24 billion in revenue. 2.4 billion would be if each  game cost $6 on average.

XBO having just about half the number of retail sales that PS4 does with half the instal base is interesting.
I'd figure the difference would be a bit more than just 5 million, considering PS4 has notably more quality games (according to Metacritic) than XBO.

Yeah Wii finished last place last gen.  Which is a fact not many are aware of. 

Yeah, that's an interesting fact. Especially if you consider digital sales, Wii would be very far from PS3 and X360.

Don't forget that attach ratio is expected to be higher when HW total is lower.

Also that Xbox is commonly expected to have fewer high seller, but that they sell more each. Meaning, PS4 as being more widespread because of more variety.
