No. When the steady stream of PS4 exclusives come in it'll eventually overtake. This gen still has another 4/5 years left you realise? WiiU is only reacting to game bumps and even then it's not been very impressive.

If PS4 slumbers the same then perhaps, but going by how PS3 sells, I doubt it.

So the PS4 exclusives are going to "save" the PS4? Kinda like Super Mario 3D World "saved" the Wii U... right?

They'll have a far more positive impact than WiiU exclusives have had. Wait for Resident Evil, Final Fantasty, Metal Gear Solid ect.

Metal Gear Solid V already came out in Japan for the PS3 and PS4 and did barely nothing for the console. Those franchises don't have the same power in Japan as they used to on home consoles. The FFXIII series sold less than 3million together in Japan (I & II). FFVII in the day, by itself, sold 3.3m and FFVIII 3.7m.

Most japanese gamers play their games on handhelds, and when they don't, they have voted for Nintendo's home console of late. Also, Nintendo's offerings on the home console are much more in the same taste as the games on the most popular handheld this generation. Games like Pikmin match games like Mario Kart, because they are from the same creative mind.

No it didn't. The critically panned demo prequel thing came out. If you honestly think millions upon millions of fans of Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil and countless other franchises that sold the majority on PS3, combined, have disappeared into thin air, you really shouldn't be debating with me. You're wrong.
