or maybe everybody wants a ps4.. and sony can't make them as fast as nintendo made the wii, since nintendo were basically using slightly upgraded 6th gen parts for their console..

while sony is using new gen tech to manufacture the ps4..

Sony prepared a ton of stock, all sold out because of obvious demand.

Wii demand eradicated Nintendo's expectations, you couldn't find a Wii in stores for a long while.

atleast the PS4 seems to be beating it's predecessor

Industry will shrink this gen, not surprising.

NPD Jan 2007 (5 WEEKS MONTH):

Wii -- 436K (87.2K p/w)
360 -- 294K (58.8K p/w)
PS3 -- 244K (48.8K p/w)

NPD Jan 2014 (4 WEEKS MONTH):

PS4 - <290K...slightly under apparently (<72.5K p/w)
XBone - 145K (36.3K p/w)
WiiU - 56K (14K p/w)

((estimated figures are from GAF thanks to percentages that were thrown around...they are usually good at maths :P )) -- updates will be made when specific figures are revealed

Obviously with PS4 there was a complete sellout of all stock available pretty much...so who knows how much higher it could have gone!
Also to be fair the Xbox 360 we'd have to see 2006 Jan for its first post launch January

Xbox One being lower than PS3 is pretty worrying, and WiiU...well let's not even go there!

Either way it looks like thus far Nex-Gen is off to a slower start. But maybe this gen will be more slow & steady!


5 weeks vs 4 weeks

 

update your title

xbox will trend lower than 360 and ps3 even with price cuts, MS just lost its steam from last gen inferior 3rd party, higher price, 180 ect, its almost a mirror of the ps3 but the ps3 had more interest WW than 360 and XB1 will evar have

MS needs to do something. Its biggest market by far and sales are already crashing.

BTw, where is that 56k WiiU number from??

It was reported in our NPD thread as being from Neogaf after percentages were out.

I'm with Leo-j here, i'm starting to think that people just want to spent their money only in ps4, but because of lack of stock, they can't buy it, so there it is the low total numbers for consoles. So basically, PS4 should an impressive Spring this year when stock meet demand.

It seems the Wii U number was a false report.

The system can still be redeemed or redoomed!

We'll know soon enough!
