It's silly because you're disregarding everything about why the PS4 is performing the way it is.

1. Wii U has always been cheapest, literally doesn't mean crap

1.a. It was performing at/above the Wii at its current price point for the entire year.

2.c First you disregard the all the PS4s other exclusives, then you disregard multiplats. News Flash, Highest selling XB1 bundle is ACU, PS4 has GTA and Tlou: Re

I think that should tell you all you need to know

FYI: I agree with the estimate, but I disagree with the reasoning behind it.

1. Yes, it does. Consumers will gravitate towards to a cheaper console, assuming power level and game remain near identical. Can be seen with the huge surgein One sales since the price drop. Doesn't mean the PS4 won't outsell it, but it does mean the One will bite in to some of the sales.

1. a. Yes, but for most of the year it was the same price as one of the consoles and had better games than the other. Now, it is easily the most expensive and doesn't have a truly heavy-hitting game out.

2. c. Newsflash, multiplats are on multiple consoles, hence the name, so they wash out. And what PS4 exclusive that came out this quarter matches up to Master Chief Collection or Smash Bros? The answer is none of them. LBP3 could have been, but the initial reaction to it was lukewarm. Also the bundle is priced $50 higher than the One bundle, which also includes 2 games.
