Just saying, it was throughout the whole year and not just holidays that Wii was supply constrained.

Fair enough still an acheivment for a £350 console to outsell a £179 console for 6 months, especially when the bottom has fallen out of console gaming in Japan. If you look at just western numbers, PS4 is still significantly ahead.

I thought this thread was about Worldwide? But trust if the Wii was available like how the PS4 is/was for these 6 months, there wouldn't be as many of these excuses. Bottom line is that it's not logical for this gen to last as long as 7th gen with how fast tech is moving now. So if PS4 wants to sell more than the Wii, it has to do Wii numbers/better than Wii numbers, which it won't. What's gonna be the excuse when Wii passes it in western numbers too?

Everyones expecting it to im sure, it was half the price and had mass market appeal, not just aimed at core gamers. Its not an excuse they're the facts. It will outsell PS4 timeline in the west as well at some point im sure.
The wii burnt bright and fast for 3 years it did amazingly well in a short space or time, then died out just as quickly. If Sony want to beat those sales they will need to go for a longer game. But as there about to pass 8M in just over 7 months, theyve blow away everyone's expectation including there own, and there streets ahead of the current competition, reguardless of the changing gaming demographics in Japan.
