Sure, but it wont come down to just quantity of units sold. Q2 PS4 outsold WiiU 5.5 to 1 if I'm not mistaken, yet Nintendo was able to edge out Sony financially. Now imagine Nintendo had sold just as many WiiU has Sony did PS4s (and the same thing goes for software), how would the financial go?
Nintendo and Sony have completly different approaches to the gaming business. All that marketing, exclusive deals with developers, bundles, etc, cost a lot of money, I mean a lot. Yet Sony can compensate that with lots and lots of units sold. In fact, they need lots ands lots of units sold to turn profit. Nintendo relies on in-house developed software and hardware, with less fewer moneyhatting, marketing (except for their on products) and doesn't need that many sales to turn profit.
I think it will be an interesting battleto see.
