ok people settle down, it's not that simple, it's easy to sell a lot when you're one of the only games on the system, imagine if ps4 only had Uncharted 4 & Bloodborne, what would all those 45m people buy? well what else? they can only buy Uncharted 4 & Bloodborne, that the situation on the wii u, but that's not the situation on ps4, and that's not the situation that should be, so all the "you see now haters?? wiii u games can selll tooo (insert feels trollface)" can calm down

Yeah , right, sure.  Mario Kart 8 is the only game.  Nevermind Super Mario 3D World, Smash Bros, New Super Mario Brothers U, Bayonetta 2, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Wonderful 101, Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze, Hyrule Warriors, etc etc etc.  All these other games that are not only there but have not been aided by the lack of 3rd party support to sell anywhere near this despite being positively received by all involved.  Nevermind that low installbases traditionally don't help sales of games based on past patterns.  Nevermind that many if not most Wii U owners almost certainly own another major gaming platform since, despite what many like to think on the internetz, console warz aren't serious business and you don't have to sign your right to buy a PS4 away when you buy a Wii U, thus rendering your "no games to buy" argument moot.  Yeah nevermind all those facts, let's just live in your little fantasy.

+1, thumbs up, yeah'd, liked, and favorited!

Also, if PS4 only had 2 games it's installbase would not be anywhere near 45m. If you remove Mario Kart 8 from existence, that wouldn't make 3D World/Pikmin 3/etc. sell better, it'd only make the Wii U sell worse, which in turn lowers software sales all around.
