So what are your opinions on when the Wii will catch up? Surely you don't think that the PS4 will keep leading until the holidays. |
During the months of February to April, the Wii hovered around 200k units sold a week and then from May through October it hovered between 250k and 300k. This is where the Wii will catch up. The Japan PS4 launch will widen the gap but I expect the spring-summer months to be strongly in favor of the Wii.

Worth pointing out. Wii had wii sports from day one. PS4 is selling what it is with no killer app.
PS4 will sale more as the games come. Having established it self as the console of choice for multiplats. PS4 will get nice bumps through 3rd party releases. Watchdogs and Destiny especially will likely be huge hardware movers for it this year. Then you have to factor Sonys own exclusives also having a nice diversity to em.
I dont see wii making up anything may to oct with PS4 geting quite a few really good titles, though it really depands on release dates for the games but im we can agree not everything can release just for the holidays so they are coming sooner not all later.

The fact the Wii had Wii Sports is exactly why I'm banking on the Wii to have a much better spring/summer than the PS4. Wii Sports had a much wider appeal than inFAMOUS: Second Son, Watch_Dogs and Destiny. That single title was enough to convince a horde of non-gamers that they wanted a Wii. The PS4 is not aimed at these people, it's aimed at gamers. Like you said each new title will provide nice bumps along the way but without the casual appeal I don't think it can match the Wii's numbers.

Ill be a few years before it needs legit "casual" appeal to sale. Right now its the console to game on, still out of stock many places. You are betting on waggle casuals over gamers sick of the last gen that are eating up the PS4 in record numbers. I doubt it needs the likes of waggle casuals. I might agree it would not out sale the wii if it actually had tough legit comp, but right now it lacks that.
Wii at its best sold what it did, PS4 is selling on nothing at all. Ill bet on the juggernaut thats whoopin ass with nothing fueling its fire, once few games are poured on it, its sales might break more records.
