Again, Ps4 sales didn't destroy anything in japan, it's the lowest selling console since dreamcast and ps3 (I'm not counting xbox consoles). Launch week aside, Wii U sold 1.3 million in 56-57 weeks, ps4 will have done around 950k on the same period. DQ heroes will be hugely front loaded, like any dinasty warriors. Don't expect much more than 300k ltd for the ps4 version. "The fact the PS4 has been doing as well as it has, selling 3X the amount most weeks in Japan compared to Wii U only supports that sales will sky rocket when the games suited to the market start releasing over there" Except that ps4's current sales are already a response to your "when games suited to the market release" while wii u is in a low period. "If you think Wii U is going to surpass PS4 in sales in Japan, you haven't looked at the facts." Ps4 is the one that has to surpass wii u, since it's a lot behind. If you're talking weekly, it's pretty obvious that wii u will sell more than ps4 eventualy. |
PS4 destroyed Wii U last year, PS4 destroyed all platforms in Japan last year, even the 3DS, that's what the numbers proved.
We haven't yet had PS4's 56th-57th week numbers yet, you don't know what it will sell, if anything the fact it has so many games coming within that amount of time, DQH (released 26th Feb 2015) is a game coming out in that time and according to you it's numbers will be very front loaded, so it will have some effect on PS4's numbers, probably a pretty decent effect.
PS4 can and probably will easily sell more than 1.3M by the end of that 57 week sales period, but you won't agree with that because Wii U is your preference of system. PS4 doesn't just have DQH, although it doesn't just look like a Dynasty Warriors clone, there's a lot more too it than that.
The whole point of my "when games suited to the market" point is that PS4 has new games, a lot of new games incoming right now and for the forseeable future, the Wii U doesn't, Wii U has a few here and there, but nothing like the PS4 is getting, even for the rest of the year, compared to the next few months on PS4. PS4 numbers I'm talking about though are based on before DQH and the slew of PS4 games were coming, DQH comes out on the 26th of Feb, VG's numbers are for the 14th or prior to that, so really it's not heated up on PS4 yet, but will when those games start to land, basically the baseline is 3X greater than Wii U's numbers.
PS4 has sold 1/2 of Wii U's numbers in less than half of the time, with a weaker line-up and is just about to start getting the good games for the japanese market, it's downright clear that the ball is in PS4's court, it's going to sell a hell of a lot more than the Wii U when 3rd party and exclusives start to land on the system, which has already started to happen, we should start getting those number soon.
We've had numbers up to the 14th of Feb, the next is the week ending the 21st (which we don't have yet), the following week ends the 28th, that will show how well DQH sold. From then on there are regular releases, which should have a continuous snowball effect, because the library for the market is building.
It's going to be impossible for the Wii U to sell more, especially without 3rd party, especially those games suited to that market. I really can't see why you would think only having exclusives would cause that much of a rise, especially when PS4 has been selling so much on weeks when there's very little new stuff out, but whatever think what you will.
