PS4 vs Wii in the US – VGChartz Gap Charts – January 2020

PlayStation 4 Vs. Wii US:

Gap change in latest month: 78,917 – PS4

Gap change over last 12 months: 1,988,141 – PS4

Total Lead: 8,397,912 – Wii

PlayStation 4 Total Sales: 32,370,579

Wii Total Sales: 40,768,491

January 2020 is the 74th month that the PlayStation 4 has been available for in the US. During the latest month the gap grew in favor of the PlayStation 4 when compared with the Wii during the same timeframe. The PlayStation 4 has caught up to the Wii by 78,917 units and in the last 12 months outsold the Wii by 1.99 million units. The Wii currently leads by 8.40 million units.

Both consoles launched in November. The Wii launched in November 2006, while the PlayStation 4 launched in November 2013. The PlayStation 4 has sold 32.37 million units, while the Wii sold 40.77 million units during the same timeframe.

The Wii sold units 41.70 million lifetime in the US, therefore the PlayStation 4 needs to sell another 9.33 million units to outsell the Wii.

This should be a close one, and exciting to watch. I'm of the opinion PS4 still has a lot of life left in it, but another 25% of what it's already sold in the US in 6 years is a big ask, though not impossible. Wii really was a beast; I'm interested to see which console comes out on top.
