As I said last time. They aren't closing the gap. PS4 is still outselling both the Xbox One and Wii U every week. Gap between them is still getting wider every week.

The OP just wasn't very clear. He's saying that the gap in weekly sales between the systems is closing, not the gap in LTD sales.

Three months ago, the weekly sales numbers of the three platforms looked like this:

PS4 - 176k
XBO - 72k
WiiU - 39k

Giving a proportion of 61%-25%-14%

In the last full June week, they looked like this:

PS4 - 105k
XBO - 65k
WiiU - 60k

Giving a proportion of 46%-28%-26%

To give you a sense of how much of a shih gft this is, suppose that the total sales for the generation are going to be around 200 million. With the distribution 3 months ago, that puts PS4 at 122 million, XBO at 50 million, and Wii U at 28 million. With the distribution now, it's PS4 at 92 million, XBO at 56 million, and Wii U at 52 million. See the difference?


Thats not saying much on how the rest of the gen or even the rest of the year will go. Wii U had one of the 2 biggest games it's ever going to get and Xbone had a 100$ price cut. PS4 got nothing and it still came out first every time.

Ps4 is also the only that didnt get a price cut NOR a big system seller like Titanfall or Mario Kart. I cant even begin to think what the gap will look like once Destiny bundle hits, the new Uncharted, Gran Turismo and a first price cut...
