Wasn't there a thread where we predicted when the PS4 would overtake the WiiU? Would like to see the results for that.

Here :)

I wish we can find an older thread. That was after the record breaking launch. I think I remember threads where the majority thought it wouldn't be sooner than 2015. I'm more interested in seeing those.

Good for them, I guess?  It's not surprising to me that "Hey, a console manufacturer is selling consoles!".  Lets make posts about the obvious to let everyone else that already knows, that we know too.

I guess I just don't see the reason to get excited over it...even if it's really just about the fact that it just steamrolled by a year older console, and allows certain people to flex their fanboy e-peens.  It's still not something to get excited about as the "U"'s sales have been pretty sluggish from the get go.  "Hey look, we just ran past that paralyzed kid and won the race!  Lets celebrate!"   =p

Go look at the front page.

I will never understand people that come here to whine about people talking about video game sales.

I'm not whining about video game sales talk.  I'm poking fun at people that constantly make posts to state the obvious and get excited over things that aren't worth getting excited over, such as "beating up the disabled kid on the bus".  Sorry bub, go ahead and celebrate.

I'm an Xbox fan, hardly celebrating.

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.



Estelle and Adol... best characters ever! XD

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)

So now you don't even bother with firm numbers. I thought you rejected VGChartz numbers as inaccurate...

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.

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.
