Forums - Sales - From what I have seen people say, the Xbone and PS4 will outsell the Wii U by the end of this year?

Sales by Jan 1 2014

Wii U 6-7 million

PS4 2.5-3.5 million

ONE 1.5-2.5 million

I just cant fathom either of these consoles selling twice as much as Wii, the fastest selling console of all time, in the same time frame.


Nintendo didn't expect that much in sales by the Wii or else they would have produce more before launch and they didn't expect it because the Nintendo came off of N64 then GC. The Wii was severly supply constrained and didn't have 1 million in preorders either. Both consoles will sell more than the Wii for the first holiday season.

Yea keep telling yourself that.

Youre right. I should have pointed out that it wasn't the fastest selling console of all time.

BTW - Nintendo's next forecasted shipments for this fiscal year is only 5.5mil. They aren't expecting much at all on top of that they made these in April before these sales continually lagged like this. I don't see them reaching that. That means they need to ship 5.4mil still.



i think ppl ovrstimate the demand for Xbone and ps4
it will be great in the first month but then....



See its hard to say that ps4 and xbox one will outsell the wiiU in 2014 considering how many Nintendo System Sellers are coming out in 2014 and so far, bearly any system sellers are coming out in 2014 for the Xbox One and ps4... Also not to mention that most of the games are multiplatform for the ps4 and X1 with the ps3 and 360 included wheras most of the wiiU games coming out in 2014 is exclusive

I have a feeling that after the day 1 people get it and the preorder people are taken care of... the rest of the year is gonna be slow for both consoles

Its hard to beat the sales of SSB and Mario Kart

Yes, I cannot believe this is something that is new to you. Nintendo without a gimmick only really serves a fraction of the market unless they branch out, which is why before the Wii they only sold 24-30M+ consoles post SNES era.

Anyone who thinks PS4/Xbone will pass Wii U in 2013 are completely out of their minds.

The earliest this will happen is late 2014 and that requires Wii U to not gain any momentum from current trends and one of those consoles to do very well. We'll really know the answer to 2014 once we are past 2013 and everything has launched including Wii Us resurgence or lack thereof.



Depends on the hype but you are right it's not likely. 

The Wii U, in face of competition, could end up doing worse relatively speaking as people opt for the ONE or PS4.

I highly doubt Sony is going to ship over 6 million PS4 in a matter of 6 weeks.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

No way it, Ps4 will outsell it by mid-late 2014 at the soonest.



For that to happen PS4 or Xbone would have to sell about 6 million in 6 weeks. Highly improbable.



they may pass the actual number of wii U, 3.4 mil.
but wii U will sell at least 2 mil till end of year.
