Sony doesn't care about selling more than 360 they care about profits. And the ps4 won't be a beast it will be stronger than wiiU (2-3x) but they won't take a risk making massive losses again thanks to their bad financial situation.

Actually, I don't think that their current financial status is the biggest reason. They released two consoles that were cheap and less powerfull than the competitors and won by huge margins. They released one console that was expensive and powerfull and lost. It's clear that people prefer price, expensive consoles always fail. A gen never was won by a console launched for more than US$ 300 in USA.

I really don't know how Sony lost since they sold close to 600,000 consoles last week and Wii bately managed to sell 200,000, and that was a normal week at the end of this gen.

Like I said, you're completely ignoring earlier this gen. You are somehow thinking everything from 2010 onwards are the only years relavant. Its not really hard to go see how many Wiis were sold in 07/08/09. Performance doesn't matter, sales do. They are 30m ahead and unlike the PS3 weren't selling at a MASSIVE loss early in the gen.
