OK, 4,3 mill after 16 months on sale. The games did'nt start coming until september 95. So, sue me:p

"Also, keep in mind that the PS1 was'nt available worldwide until Sep 1995".

Does'nt matter considering how much of an early adopter I was:p

Oh, btw. How many WiiU units do you think Nintendo will have shipped in 16 months from launch?


The problem with comparing the PS1 and Wii U sales is due to the fact that the industry is like, what, 50 times larger? If you wanted to do a fair comparison, you'd have to look at the ratio of gamers from that time and now, then readjust.

Comparing PS1 sales in 1995 to Wii U sales in 2013 is like comparing sales of a game at launch vs sales of a game 5 years in when the install base is huge. It doesn't give accuarate results.
