People don't buy all the games at once, they buy games over time, and people who own WiiU's have owned it for far more time and have had longer to buy more games. The PS4 has only been around for less than a year, there are only so many games people will buy during that time.

There are also more people buying said less games, so the argument goes both ways.

The bottom line is that, while the PS4 reached Nintendo HW sooner, it took them a bit more time to match Nintendo's SW sales, being testament to Nintendo's ability to sell games. A good counter-argument are bundled games, but these exist on all consoles.

attach ratios for systems build over time. It took more time to match total software sales because it had longer to have more games per system.
