Forums - Sales Discussion - Wii vs PS4 Sales Thread: PS4's lead down to 379,689 units

Holy crap supply issues are really bothering the PS4, week2, 4 and 5 are a pain to watch...

Would be nice if you could go a few more weeks ahead to see when it will get tough for the PS4 to keep up.
I think we will see the Wii take the lead before the Japan release and then a few weeks after that again.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Cool! I expect PS4 to fall far behind as we get Wii's mania that doesn't stop in even the dry months. But eventually I don't doubt PS4 will pull ahead as the later Wii years were very weak.

This will be a fun comparison.



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

I think PS4 will soon loose against the Wii in this competition but it will have the final victory.

Wii was a beast unmatched until sales fell dramaticaly from one year to another, while I expect PS4 to be supported for a long time just like the PS1, PS2 and PS3 and having strong sales that in the end will put it ahead of the Wii



Congrats to the PS4. It'll be interesting to see how long this demand last. On a side note, I'm totally shocked to see that there was only ONE mention of a handheld in this entire thread lol.

I think there is actually a chance of the PS4 keeping up with the Wii the first year up until the holidays. It was 2008 were Wii really took off and started selling 300K+ most of the year.

With enough supply and Japan launch and some big titles to go PS4 could build a lead of about a million by the end off March.



I don't expect the PS4 to sell much more than the PS3 tbh. But these figures do look promising.

Yeah I know, with "soon" I meant maybe a year or two, the years when the Wii started selling like crazy. I think it will be hard, not impossible, for the PS4 to keep up in that period, but the important thing is that in the end I expect the ps4 to be on top
