Supply constraints on the PS4 obviously.

The Wii was equally supply restained if not moreso. I remember my local radio station would have Wii updates where people would call in if they spotted a Wii at any store so desperate customers could rush over and get one. 

I also saw two soccer moms nearly come to blows over the last Wii at a store, lol. That first year or two for the Wii was nuts. 


The Wii was targeting another audience. An audience which just bought casual games. The PS4 will outsell it, don't worry.


You have to target the casuals if you want big numbers don't kid yourself.   The PS2 may be the most casual console of all time.    It was a DVD player, cheaper then every other DVD player out there that also played games.   On top of that it had great games too which is why the total in the end was 150+ million.  Wii was the same deal.  It launched with Zelda.  Zelda isn't casual at all.  Wii Sports is 100 percent casual.     You have to lure in both crowds.  Right now PS4 is getting all the Sony fans and is getting alot of the Microsoft fans that jumped ship.    If it doesn't have games / find some way to appeal to casuals it will never get over 80 million.


The PS2 was the cheapest DVD player for the first year alone. So, how do you explain the high sales post year 1?

Also, Zelda didn't sell 20M+ last I checked.
