But of course the PS4 will back some week above Wii U, like Wii U will be above PS4 another weeks... But still.

And yes, The lasts recently week Wii U was helped by Splatoon, but even withouth Splatoon, the Wii U basis is 7/8 k in Japan, versus the 10-12k of the PS4.

With this trend, the PS4 will beat Wii U in 2017...

Your maths are wrong about the weekly basis..

2015 Only

Wii U: 264.208 (down yoy) / 25 = ~10.5k per week (with Splaton release)
PS4: 566.654 (down yoy) / 25 = ~22.5k per week (except for the Feb launch last year PS4 is tracking up yoy)

But in those sales we mix megaton weeks with poor weeks...

Wii U is at 10.5k avarange thanks Splatoon, withouth it, it usually selling 7k or 8k...

Even PS4, the avarange is so huge thanks BloodBorne/Yakuza/Dragon Quest/Type 0 ecc, recently the PS4 is selling just more than 10k, in some weeks like the week of The Witcher 3 or DMC4 is above 12k.

 

Now, is true that the PS4 has sold much more than Wii U, but see...

As for now, we have only Q1 and Q2 of sales.

The Q1 for the PlayStation console is strong like the Holidays ( Q4 )

Look PSVita! Last year, in the Q1 has sold more than in the holidays... that's not gonna to happen with Ninty console, indeed, the Q4 is like the normal the bigger time of sales.

Indeed, this holidays Wii U and 3DS will sell more than triple / quardruple than in Q1, where PSVita and PS4 will probabily sell at the same level (40k to 60k the 3 most important weeks of year probabily)

 

Any way we will see, i don't think PS4 will sell 1.5 million this year. 1.2 million seem more likely. I also think the Wii U will be at 750k, not under 700k imo.
