Yeah, probably half a year (would be much sooner without the Japan launch ofcourse).


In addition, I don't see the PS4 overtaking the Wii afterwards, it'll just pull out too big a lead to peg it back, and I don't see the PS4 selling over 100mil right now (that could change!), so I believe for now this will be the only time it'll be ahead.

the Wii will pull ahead by the end of 2014, because I doubt Sony can produce as many PS4s and I think demand is not quite as high as back then either, as PS4 is more expensive and demand largely is generated by the usual gamer population (which has grown in the mean time, but can't compete with the broad group the Wii sold to)

in my opinion it should happen in october or november

For a system that has no games according to some, PS4 is doing well and I'm pretty sure once the games are there, PS4 will sell extra more. Don't know how much but the Wii will probably be outsold for a long time.

Adding in even conservative Japanese numbers PS4 should start pulling ahead again. But even if it gets outpaced this year or next let's not act like it's written in stone that Wii will stay ahead. Remember there's still a lot of cross-gen right now. Once we get exclusively next-gen software and get some big exclusives coming we'll start to see PS4 gain steam. Wii may pass its pace this year or next but I'm confident, based on the lifecycle of past Playstation systems, that PS4 will peak later and sustain longer than Wii. Playstations traditionally build up and with PS3 there was a later peak. We're seeing even more support for 7th gen at the start of the 8th than we did for 6th at the start of 7th (most likely because of having 2 strong install bases rather than just PS2's to rely on and more old systems overall that are still viable). Even a title like Destiny or Watch Dogs that, even though it is ON current gen, will show off the capabilities of next gen systems both in network capabilities and graphical capabilities, will help push the next gen when people see it on a friend's new system. I know Resogun and BF4's bigger and prettier MP have already given my roommates the next-gen itch along with the DS4's improvements and even the UI and social structure.

Never.

PS4 lacks the competition for it not to sale, so its really a can they manufacturer more PS4s then ninty did Wiis. If they can they will maintain a lead if not then it will lose it.

SUPPORTING OP"S MESSAGE!!! BRING THEM CHARTS BACK

you should extend your graphs out a few months so we can see where wii is going...


...according to my chartz, which are organized slightly differently, ps4 has about a 3m head start on wii. 3m as in if ps4 sold 0 units from here on out it would take 3 more months for wii to catch up. i'd say it will be pretty much certain ps4 stays ahead at least into the june/july time frame. if, with improved supply, things pick up then ps4 could probably stay ahead for the whole year.

I hope for some time yet... With Japan launch PS4 might make a big gap! I'm loving it! GO PS4! Top of the pop!

Does anyone have YOY PS2 sales?
