That your trying to make a World wide point while using one markets info.

Plus correct me if im wrong, what I see in your graph is the Wii and PS2 leading early and continuing that.  Which fits nicly with what PS4 is doing now leading and me saying ill continue to lead.  Liek the wii and PS2 have.   Early sales seem to be very relevent to over all out come, based on your grapth.  

What? You really don't listen to what I actually say. It doesn't matter what region the data represents, the same trends occur in every market. I'm not using data from one region to represent another region - I'm just using some actual data to illustrate a trend rather than just making it with no basis. I could show you multiple examples in every region of the same thing.

Actually, Xbox 360 outsold Wii in year 9 (according to NPD as you can clearly see in the graph) so that goes exactly against your point.

If you look at year 2 on that graph - then Xbox 1 had sold more at that point than PS3 and Xbox 360. And yet 360 ultimately ended up selling 3 times as much in that region. That is the point that is being made here - it is a marathon not a sprint and early sales don't guarantee anything.

Didnt Nintendo already move on to the next gen when 360 caught the wii ? (my dates might be of) casue if so then 360 caught up more by the virtue that nintendo already had given up on the Wii then anything esle.  Unless you mean one day Sony will stop PS4 support but MS consinue theres till it surpasses PS4, other wise 360 eveantually surpassing the wii is quite irrelevent.  As Sony is known to support their consoles the longest.

Plus wasent wii heavly front loaded selling most early years ? then the hardware limitains become more and more apperant and the waggle fad started losing steam and the HD twins prices came down to a much more mass apealing level.

Also of couse 360 surpased xbox, MS is still supporting 360 while they gave up on Xbox after 4/5 years.  So what does that prove ?
