Wii had shipped 20.14m by then so the numbers will be effectively the same.


Not the same, lol. The wii was sold out everywhere for a couple of years. So that 20.xx million shipped was essentially sold. Clearly not the same for the ps4. It's selling well, but it is not sold out everywhere.

The Wii was not sold out everywhere for a couple of years (though through '09, there were rough times finding them in different places). Furthering that, I find it ironic that you'll call Wii's shipped numbers: "essentially sold", but firmly claimed that the PS4's numbers are shipped, even when it was stated and re-stated that they were sold-through. 

Bottom line, the Wii shipped 20 million in the same amount of time the PS4 sold 18.5 million to consumers. Unless you believe the PS4 has sold-through all of its shipment, then it probably has shipped about the same amount.


Ok, the ps4 numbers are sell through to customers... but that doesn't change the fact that the wii was sold out, and the ps4 isnt. What I find funny, is that you were so adamant about the whole ps4 sell through numbers, that I find it funny you are now pushing shipped numbers... if they both shipped 20 million, I think there's very little doubt that the wii sold more. It was sold out after all... anyone can go into a store for months now, and buy a ps4, but the same couldn't be said for the wii. You can't argue that. It's clear, the wii sold more... just accept it.
