UncleScrooge said: Oh, come on. This is not true and you know it. The Wii being supply constrained is not "anecdotal evidence" - that thing was selling for way more than retail price for years. You can even looks at VGchartz' very own weekly sales graphs and see the heavy fluctuations in weekly sales the Wii had. Sorry but this is just cheap and you know it. You've been here for years, haven't you been posting during the Wii days? The Wii being completely sold out was like the most popular topic on these very forums for years. It was sold out everywhere except Japan. You can't deny that. The graph does indeed show the factual numbers but the PS2 was only out in Japan for the first months. The circumstances were different, that's all I'm saying. Yeah, PS4 was supply constrained in early 2014. I know that, it's not anecdotal evidence (See? I'm being consistent here). And yeah, PS2 did amazing numbers in its later life cycle. But its peak year was lower than the Wii's and I doubt the PS4's 2015 will match the Wii's 2008 (you are free to disagree here). The Wii had a higher peak but dropped off faster. The PS2 had a lower peak but continued to sell steadily in great numbers for years. The PS2 is the best selling console in history and I'm confident the PS4 will sell 100m lifetime. I didn't want to get into a battle here |
I'll back off now, have a nice day 
So how much Wii was supply coinstrained? How much on shelves it had? See... no factual evidence.
Supply issues can mean anything from 0 to 500k or more in a WW state... I already see consoles supply coinstrained in one region even with close to 1 million on shelves in the others.
