PS4 doesn't have the same mania that wii had. This will calm down soon, and it may even slow down a lot. PS4 is gonna have to prove itself with must have games before we see any kind of sustained huge sales. This will probably happen eventually and sales will pick up a lot late next year or the year after.

Based on what? It's selling out instantly everywhere AND has sold more than Wii did. Did you miss the mania around the launch in Europe? 

Sales don't need to pick up. They're already epically high.

Do I really need to explain this?  Everyone and their grandma wanted a wii, it was based on wii sports and the wiimote.  It was based on people's experiences with playing the wii and word of mouth.  It was new and exciting, and everyone wanted it, it was sold out for nearly 2 years in many places only meeting demand for a short time.  PS4 doesn't have that, it's gonna be more of a slower burn, will probably last quite a bit longer.
