The PS4 version. But who knows? I am a fan of both Sony and Nintendo but I definitely see what Nintendo means when they refer to some of their big titles as "evergreens." They just keep growing and growing, albeit slowly sometimes.

Don't all games technically do that though?

Some games do but it seems like Nintendo titles have a stronger-than-usual ability to keep selling in good numbers long after the initial release date

You know..  while that statement is true, that is a phenomenon that doesn't seem to be happening with the Wii U titles.

I just took the time to compare a few games taking into consideration the time they have been on the market and the place they are on this weeks chart (it is sad that I have nothing better to do on a Friday night but what the hell) anyway, it looks like the install base is affecting the Wii U games (people need to have the machines first in order to play the games after all)

19
Mario Kart 8 (WiiU)
Nintendo, Racing
26,404 2,672,546 17
21
Watch Dogs (PS4)
Ubisoft, Action
24,887 3,057,455 17
20
Grand Theft Auto V (PS3)
Take-Two Interactive, Action
26,077 18,554,774 53
30
Call of Duty: Ghosts (PS4)
Activision, Shooter
16,545 2,666,174 45
61
Super Mario 3D World (WiiU)
Nintendo, Platform
Pro N/A 44

It is worth noting that other games like Pikmin, DKTF, Zelda WW, Lego City etc, are nowhere to be found in the chart.


The PS4 has suprprised me with the legs some of it's titles are having. Software sales will be out of this world for 2015 as a whole. 

 

EDIT: And the amazing thing is for this holiday until at least holiday 2015 the PS3 will be doing pretty big software sales on top of it. Isn't it ahead of the PS4 atm and might stay that way for another year at least?
