low sales?


Relative low sales I meant. What I was doing to make my prediction was comparing official shipment numbers of Wii 2007 vs PS4 2014, and PS4 was always ahead in total shipments until now. I expected a lot of sales this holiday season but i didn't expect Microsoft going "all in" with their pricecuts and bundles in USA. I probably expected 1 mill, maybe even more, PS4 sold in USA than the actual number. I expected greater sales in Europe too. 

4'1m units sold from BF until 2015 is a good number, but it is PS3 numbers, not Wii numbers.

When has the PS3 sold to customers 4.2 million from November 23rd to Jan.......? The Wii numbers looked amazing because they were also making a killing in Japan which the PS4 is not. And we dont now the shipment numbers at all for the PS4.

Now I'm using VGC numbers but according to them, PS3 in 2009 sold almost 4 mill in December alone. That was the number I was referring to. Wii sold more than 4m only in December 2007 too according to the same source, and 2008, 2009 and 2010 were even more stronger.

If Sony is counting from BF week, it seems PS4 should have sold "only" around 3-3'5m in December. That's why I made the 20m sold prediction and why i'm disappointed.
