So vvii at the same point in time is 29.62m shipped vs the PS4 25.3m shipped. PS4 is still vvithin 85% of the vvii.

I think a price cut and some killer softvvare could keep it close. PS4 could be price cut 4 times (increments of $50) compared to vvii 2 times.

By end of 2009, the Wii was at 67.45 million shipped... The PS4 will be lucky if will break 55 million by end of 2016. and the PS4 will probabily peak in the 3rd year, so after that is all in decrease for PS4... i can't see how can recover this 12 million gap ( and most likely more, probabily more close to 13/14 million )...

Through a much slower decline after its first 4 years and longer shelf life in general. Will also be interesting to see how price elastic PS4 is and how its sales responds to permanent ($50-$100) price cuts and how low its price falls by end of its life.
