I agree. But ultimately, it's the end result that matters.

I think with shortages in some countries not looking resolved until March.. I think it has that in the bag... but as someone else said the Wii sold amazing over a long period of time (2 years???) and so while the Ps4 will do very well, it will start to struggle, but longer term it will beat it.

going to be interesting watching it though.

All this tells us is that Sony had much more supply in the marketplace than did Nintendo given that both sold out. And the Wii stayed sold out for months. That's a combination of high demand and low production (after the Gamecube, you can't blame Nintendo for not starting with a million units per month production).

The real battle begins when supply and demand start to find an equilibrium. For Wii, that was the following summer. The question is can the PS4 maintain the sales lead at that point? Until then, it's just a production race...which Sony has handidly won thus far.

Updated the OP with this weeks numbers. PS4 is building up a small lead, well over two weeks of Wii sales at that time.

You can modify the adjustements for the PS4 :)

Week 3 : 957,782 (now)
Week 4 : 281,377 (now)
Week 5 : 422,543 (now)
Week 6 : 662,456 (now)

PS4 has an advantage Wii lacked, its comp is weaker then Wiis. But that can be argued.

PS4 might beat it out, though it depends how quickly Sonys best devs can start dropping true new gen kick ass games. If ND releases something this year.... and if PD can get GT7 out in early 2015 ill be brutally hard to stop PS2 true son.

Playstation 4 got adjusted up, lead could grow to over 1 million next week.

New numbers, PS4 evening out and very close this week.

New numbers, PS4 still enjoying a big lead but the shortages are starting to hurt it on a weekly basis. Lead should be more than enough until the Japanese launch.

Console gaming is on the decline. I doubt we'll see another 100 million in some time. The only one capable is Sony and hopefully if they do, they can pay off some of that debt with all the money they make off each PS4.
