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.

I'd say 5 years.
Also, they didn't blow away everyone's expectations because there were plenty of people who had high ones for Japan. Expecting that 8 million to come at the end of March. I understand that you're proud of the PS4's sales and that it's sad you can't call it the "best selling" console anymore, but no need to downplay the Wii for it.

If we are talking Japan the Wii only did really well for 2 years and well for the third year. And there is nothing wrong with mentioning that without Japan PS4 is still over 2m in the lead. It's also important in answering the poll question, because the U.S. and Europe are much more important in determing worldwide sales in the long run than Japan.
Also it's interesting to note that with alligned launches even with Japan PS4 is still in the lead.
