How do expect the Wii U to reach 50-60m? I'd say as you said, there are holidays which will raise the sales. There are also games which will raise the sales so it won't be very hard to get to 50-60m if you consider those i assume. Will it average 77k(which is actually 65k) per week? I repeat what i just said, i don't think it will stay at that rate AND i don't think the Ps4 will stay at that rate. When i made that comment i specifically said "At this rate" which was 100k. I know it can change but i was specifically speaking about how much it's going to take with that rate. Ps4 selling 243k per week? No actually it's selling at 110k per week which is half of what you just said. No, the Ps4 will have a baseline of 250k after christmas because it doesn't have the games that will allow it to do so... |
You do realize those numbers I gave for the Wii U and PS4 are average weekly sales since launch. That is a much more useful indicator than taking a random week in July and extrapolating it out for years.
What is the point in assuming it will be 100k per week the rest of its life when you know it won't be? You also seem to be fudging the numbers, the most recent week has the Wii U at 59k and the PS4 at 117k. That isn't 65k and 100k/110k that you are saying. If we want to take your method, the Wii U will hit 60m 901 weeks from now, the PS4 will hit 100m 778 weeks from now, based on the most recent week. Yet you think "it won't be very hard" for the Wii U to achieve that, while the PS4 won't be able to.

Ok tbh 500k+ was an exaggeration, but it sure as hell rarely dropped below 200k weekly and was selling at 300~400k weekly. Oh and i was talking about the Wii. |
Outside of the holidays the Wii was doing below 200k for all of 2012, and all but two weeks in 2011. May 2010 was basically the last time the Wii was doing over 200k on a regular basis outside of the holidays. It was also below 200k for much of the middle of 2009. Claiming it was doing 500k+ until a few months before the new generation goes well beyond exaggeration I'd say.
