What games are going to drive this insane kind of demand? Because I don't see it.. You realize the console is selling largely on hype, based off the natural boost of the holidays, and the novelty of new console technology, right? Soon all the extreme Sony diehards and tech junkies that must have all things new are going to all have their PS4s, and the console sales are going to plummet down to earth, at least until Sony gets some worthwhile games. Wii U, N64, PS3, and even Dreamcast all started out selling massively its first holiday season.. We simply do not know the REAL demand of the PS4 yet. And we will not until supply meets demand.
Remember, at the end of the day, the purpose of gaming consoles is to play games. Thus, Sony will need the worthwhile games to continue to drive the sales of the hardware.

Okay, Im gonna address your arguments.
Nintendo fans like you still live in a bubble, are you claiming it's only the Sony fans and tech people that want a PS4? This is ridicilous, have you not been following the PS4 hype for most of last year? Everyone wants a PS4, just follow social media and see how much it is in demand. PS4 announcement trailer had over 30 million views, no console announcement had that, it even was the most viewed video if it's month. PS4 shatters Iwata's Wii U argument: software sells hardware, what a laughable concept at launch. The PS4 is a phenomenon, people want it regardless, it doesn't need a Wii Sports to fuel this demand because PS4 doesn't cater to the casuals. Even with such a weak launch line-up PS4 still became the best selling console in the history. It doesn't need system sellers right now, it's sold out everywhere and there are millions of people still waiting. Once the sales driven by hype is over, there will be plenty of games coming out.
WTF has sales of post launch N64, Wii U, PS4 to do with PS4? I already put the launch and post launch sales of PS3 in my OP. It SHIPPED 3.5M until march 31 2007, and thats with the delayed Euro launch. PS4 SOLD THROUGH(that means sold to customers if you didn't know) 4.2M by dec 28, meaning it also still had 2 days of unaccounted sales in 2013.
Wii U? Lol! 3M SHIPPED until dec 31 2012, and the following 3 quarterly results it was revealed that it only shipped below 0.3M each quarter.
Meaning? PS4 is so far ahead of these consoles that no one in their right mind would even bring them up. Even if the PS4 stopped selling for the next 9 months it would be still ahead of Wii U LTD, the truth is harsh isn't it?
Stop living in that bubble and insist that what happened to Nintendo/Wii U, will happen to PS4. How wrong you and the other Ninty fans were last year, with each Nintendo sales failure news you guys had to chime and claim "bbb buuut next gen will be doomed too! Just wait when they launch!"
