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.

At this point, I think it's best to wait and see who has the right assumptions. For the overall first year on the market, I'm not sure the Wii will pull ahead because of the great lead the PS4 has garnered at launch and the fact it has still to launch in Japan but for the months of May through October, I'm almost 100% sure the Wii will be the biggest seller.
