| Aielyn said: Wii Sports + Wii Play + Mario Party 8 explains 417,885 units of software. That still leaves 662k. Even if you drop Resident Evil 4 and Pokemon Battle Revolution, which were the two other top-selling Wii titles in that week, you still have 434k. As for invoking "hype" to explain Wii sales... you seem to be ignoring the hype that was driving the launch PS4 sales, too. Hype is also known as "people want it". What is notable is that Wii hype remained for about two full years before even starting to weaken, whereas PS4 sales rate has dropped significantly over the last few months beyond the drop expected by the summer drought (consider that both XBO and Wii U have improved in that time). As for comparing between PS1 and Wii... if you have any evidence for your claim, I'd be happy to see it. |
Well I guess the library of the WII was bigger. What I don't understand is why to use the WII for reference when this console is a UFO. What is the point for a console to sell like the WII if it is to collapse during the gen. At the end the WII sold less than the PS1 and will sold probably less softwares than the 360 and Ps3. The numbers of PS4 will raise when major titles will be launch and when the price will drop like a normal console and no like a WII. So I don't know why some people claim that the Ps4 is doomed using the odd WII numbers for reference.
Edit : And I think if we say that Ps4 is selling bad because it aren't selling like the WII what should we say of the wii numbers in the last gen ? Less than Ps1 & Ps2. So what was this console ? a failure... ? ridiculous.
