Ok,

We can say PS4 has a two weeks advantage in the west and the Wii has a two month and a half advantage in Japan. Considering Japanese PS4 sales so far, two month and a half would be something like 200k at best (15-20k a week). That would mean the way I am doing this gives something like a 300-400k advantage to PS4 overall (which is not a big deal at all in this case though...).

no add up all those Wii numbers in Japan from those 2 and a half months you're cherry picking the side that helps you the most.

Help me with what ? lol

Ok, I did add Wii numbers from those two and a half month and that is 1.6M. So what ? Do you suggest it is more accurate to say Wii has a 1.6M advantage in Japan in this comparison. Because I it is not. That would be considering that PS4 would have sold the same amount as Wii if during those 2.5 months which we know is wrong.

Estimating the number PS4 would sell in this time frame is the right thing to do imo. However, I did a mistake by not realizing those 2.5 month includes christmas. My 200k estmate is too low then. Based on 2014 numbers PS4 would have sold something like 300k (excluding launch numbers which are included later in the graph).

So overall, we miss two weeks of Wii sales in the west = 450-500k. We miss 2.5 months of PS4 sales in japan = 250-300k.

I still believe there is a slight 200k advantage to PS4 the way I am doing this. And again, I really don't think this is a big deal...
