Good, maybe the Sony fans can stop talking about this now?

No, that'll never happen. Who am I kidding.

I genuinely hope the PS4 passes the WiiU worldwide soon so we can stop with the threads.


Then we'll just go back to discussing when the PS3 will pass the Wii (see sig).


That's a good point. Perhaps I should consider leaving this site sooner rather than later.. I'm about at wits end with this Sony fan superiority complex and sales boasting.


Haha, perhaps you should. When Nintendo was dominating with the WiiDS combo, you were in the exact same spot as those Sony fan superiority complex and sales boasting, you were one of the most vocal about Nintendo's sales.

I know, its hard to see your favourite team not winning this time, but stop being a hypocrite about it when the other team does the same. What goes around comes around. A person's actions, whether good or bad, will often have consequences for that person. You either congratulate the PS4 for having the best launch ever, or leave the party quietly, not shit up the party.

No one really cares about Japan anyway, it is the smallest market.

Japan is handheld market mostly and PS4 will do good considering the momentum as PS4 getting sold out mostly at more places.



GAMING is not about spending hours to pass/waste our time just for fun,

its a Feeling/Experience about a VIRTUAL WORLD we can never be in real, and realizing some of our dreams (also creating new ones).

So, Feel Emotions, Experience Adventure/Action, Challenge Game, Solve puzzles and Have fun.

PlayStation is about all-round "New experiences" using new IP's to provide great diversity for everyone.

Xbox is always about Online and Shooting.

Nintendo is always about Fun games and milking IP's.

It could hold Japan if it gets Monser Hunter and Dragon Quest exclusive for WiiU.

But PS4 is getting FF KH and MGS, and is a hell of a lot better machine.

PS4 wont beat WiiU in Japan so easily, I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't manage to beat it in Japan at all.


And you base this on?


Until we see some Japan centric software for the PS4, I wouldn't count PS4 crushing the Wii U as a given.

Well, you saw MGS, Yakuza, FFXV, KH3. Those are pretty Japan centric, right? We know a Tales game is in the works. Koei will bring the Dynasty Warriors.

Japan is the reason PS3 outsold the 360.  Some people must care.

The new fascination will just switch to the One passing the Wii U. :P

math quiz

 

 2012 wii u = 3,060.000 (nintendo report) plus 3,002,448 (vgcharts....) = 6 million plus...

http://uk.ign.com/articles/2013/01/30/nintendo-financials-reveal-wii-u-sales

Well, there is some inconsistency here between VGC and Nintendo's reports.  Someone from VGC care to comment?

I think that Nintendo reports "shipped" numbers, and VGC estimates "sold" numbers.
This is why in Q1 Nintendo shipped only 0.16 million Wii U!  They had a glut of stock.

Q3 Ending Dec. 31, 2012: http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2013/130130e.pdf

 The worldwide sales of the “Wii U” hardware were 3.06 million units and those of the “Wii U” software were 11.69 million units.

Fiscal Ending Mar. 31, 2013: http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2013/130424e.pdf

The worldwide sales of "Wii U" hardware and software were 3.45 million units and 1.03 million units respectively.

Q1 Ending Jul. 31, 2013: http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2013/130731e.pdf

The worldwide sales of "Wii U" hardware and software were 0.16 million units and 1.03 million units respectively.

Q2 Ending Sep. 30, 2013: http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2013/131030e.pdf

... but the global sales of the “Wii U” hardware and software reached only 0.46 million and 6.30 million units respectively.

Current sales reported by Nintendo: http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/sales/hard_soft/index.html

As of Sep. 30, 2013: 3.91 million units

 

But don't get too excited.  VGC has 3.68 million through Sep 30 which is not that far behind Nintendo's report of 3.91 million shipped.
