Lol, sorry, but now I just have to laugh at those downplaying these numbers.  It's starting to look a little desperate.  And why compare the PS4 with the Wii?  Only because it makes it look worse?  I think I know the answer to that, but let me ask you one more question.  Was the Wii the market leader in the US?  NO!  That honor goes to the 360.  So, why don't we look at the 360's sales in the US after launch compared to the PS4s:

              360                                    PS4
Nov. 2005 ~ 326k          Nov. 2013 ~ 1.14M
Dec. 2005 ~ 281k          Dec. 2013 ~ 863K
Jan. 2006 ~ 249k           Jan. 2014 ~ 271K
Feb. 2006 ~ 161k           Feb. 2014 ~ 285K     
Mar. 2006 ~ 192k          Mar. 2014 ~ 371K
Apr. 2006 ~ 295k            Apr. 2014 ~ 199K
May 2006 ~ 221k           May 2014 ~ 197K
Jun. 2006 ~ 277k            Jun. 2014 ~ 269K  
Jul. 2006 ~ 206k             Jul. 2014 ~ 187K
Aug. 2006 ~ 204k          Aug. 2014 ~ 190K
Sep. 2006 ~ 260k       

Ok, so that's a total of ~2.7M after 11 months for the 360 vs. ~4M for the PS4 in 10 months.  I even gave the 360 an extra month, however, that is for another reason.  You see, September is Destiny month.  PS4 is going to KILL the 360's 260K.  At least by ~2x.  Which means it would beat the Wii's 1st September, which was 501K.  That would also mean it would beat the PS2's, too.  Well, technically, I couldn't find its Sept 2001 numbers, but in 2002 it sold ~500K, so I assume they were probably close to the same.  Again, cherrypicking a few months, and only pitting it against a couple of consoles, just reeks of desperation.
