Forums - Sales - PS4 has overtaken WiiU Worldwide

As you can see from my bets, I tried to keep a positive outlook for Wii U. Well that's certainly not gonna be the case anymore!

These forums are going to be real hard to come to now....

Wii U deserves its struggles though. Nintendo has got to get it together.


Maybe not.  The Sony fanbase is like a grizzly bear.  You can fight back but they will only attack more viciously.  If the Nintendo/Microsoft fans play dead, there's a chance the Sony fans will grow bored and go eat salmon from the river or steal honey from bees or something.

Have no fear. Now that our hunger has been satiated by the endless tears of opposing fanboys we will enter a generation long hibernation cycle :)

On a serious note congrats to Sony and I hope that both Microsoft and Nintendo keep working harder to make Sony deserve their number 1 sales ranking.

With the PS4 selling 320k in Japan this week gone, it has overtaken WiiU (will likely be 100k ahead).

Managed to do it BEFORE March!


15th Feb:

WiiU: 5,720m
PS4: 5,390M


22nd Feb:

WiiU: 5,760m (with similar sales to the week before added)
PS4: 5,840m (with Japan launch and similar sales to the week before added)

The more important question is why do you have a chick in your avi instead of a hot shirtless dude?

This just goes to show you how unpredictable this whole thing can be. No one rejected Wii to do what it did. No one expected PS3 to "fail" the way it did at launch. No one expected PS3 to make the push it did near the generation's end. And no one expected WiiU to fall back as much as it has or the PS4 to take off the way it has. Before any of these things came to fruition any person who'd make such predictions would be labeled delusional fanboys by opposing fronts.

I afraid that any victory of any of the platform holders this generation will become pyrrhic in the end...



I don't believe it untill i see the real numbers on the front page!

Why do you see WiiU or PS4 randomly different to last weeks numbers? (Outside of Japan PS4 obviously). Are you trying to discredit them?

I reject VGC numbers as inaccurate when I have reason to believe a certain figure is in accurate. Otherwise I use them for what they are, estimates.

I don't see them "randomly different". But I also don't see them the same. I have no expectation at this moment in time. Which is why I expressed no opinion on the claim itself. I only expressed concern over your sudden change of attitude...

... which is an attitude in which you reject VGChartz as inaccurate when it is possible to use the numbers to claim the Wii U is doing better, but accept it immediately when you can use the numbers to claim the Wii U is doing worse. And yet you claim to not have some ulterior motive, etc.

Except, that isn't remotely true. I've called out overall overtracking in the UK (including 360) and overtracking of 360 in the US.

I already told you my stance, you literally got nothing on me you just don't like this thread.
