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.

We are talking about japan and ps4 didn't destroy anything there.
"PS4 has sold 1/2 of Wii U's numbers in less than half of the time" So did Wii U itself, ps4 is bellow Wii U in aligned sales.
I won't even bother with the rest, you are just repeating yourself without listening.

Yes PS4 did destroy other platforms for hardware sales last year in Japan, including Wii U, PS4 isn't at it's peak yet, because it hasn't had the best games suited for the market yet, this year will be far better, that's a fact.
PS4 isn't below Wii U in aligned numbers, it's ahead and will continue to rise based on the games we know to be coming out this year.
I read everything (not sure how you can listen to something that doesn't make a sound), took it all in and dealt with every point you tried to make, you just don't like what the facts support. Wii U isn't as popular as PS4 is in Japan or globally, which is what the sales figures show. TBH it wouldn't even matter if Wii U was beating PS4 in Japan, because it's a tiny market compared to the rest of the world.
The platform has sold over 2X as many consoles, along with nearly 2X the software globally, which is what matters in a sales debate and PS4 has a lot more games scheduled for release in Japan.
As far as this thread goes the topic's question is answered, PS4 will most definitely sell better in Japan, Wii U is a system on the decline in sales in Japan, while PS4 is on the rise.
BTW I'm actually going to buy a Wii U, when Zelda and Starfox come out, because I want to play those games, there are a number other titles I want to play on Wii U too, I actually consider Wii U the only 8th gen console worth owning besides a PS4 this generation, because of it's exclusives, I'm just realistic about how well Wii U can sell. It'll be profitable for Nintendo, which is all that matters for Nintendo and they have some great games coming for their install base on the platform.
