Im not sure it will. The Wii outsold the PS3, so...

How does that even remotely matter?


Well the PS4 is made by Sony. This is the same company that made the PS3.

The WiiU is made by Nintendo. This is the same company that made the Wii.

So, to sum it up. Nintendo sold more consoles than Sony in the last generation. Its possible that they will do it again.

You already said summer 2015, at least be consistant.

Early 2016 this will happen. We'll get back to this topic.


that's because we were all amazed with launch numbers. But now, I know that's never going to happen

Wait for the japanese developers to jump on board, then we'll see the PS4s real sales potential in Japan. That's when we'll know if it can outsell the Wii U, which is still a very real possibility, not like the Wii U is some kind of runaway success in Japan.

but japanese developers jumped aboard PS3. And even that way, Wii outsold it

Well maybe you should change the way you view these things then. You've been on this site long enough and should know better than to make predictions based on the conditions that strictly apply at the moment. PS4 will overtake the WiiU and early 2016 is the latest it will do this.


and that's why I say: PS4 won't outsell Wii U in Japan.

 

PS3 had all japanese games......

And PS4 will also. PS3 has many more challenges and it overcame them. PS3 had no japanese games for a LONG time. PS4 is much more succesful and will get those games much earlier.

If next year's PS4 heavy hitters come around the time of Zelda U, Starfox or the next 3D mario, that will soften the blow considerably.

Maybe 2016

Doesn't work that way. PS3 costed MUCH MORE than the Wii, PS4 and WiiU's difference is not that big. PS3 had a lot of problems, PS4 has very little problems. Wii was VERY succesful, WiiU is VERY weak. The difference is too big to compare them just like that.

whenever bloodbourne is out?


Bloodborne is a boon but the series it comes from isn't that big.  It may boost sales a bit but it is unlikely to be near enough to push it past wii u, unless it becomes a standard bearer and pushes itself into the mainstream.

Never.
Wii U will sell more. (in Japan eh...)

You guys do know that Nintendo ARE japanese right...?

Are those the only games you think will be on PS4? Then you really know very little. The Tales games will come, BloodBorne will come, Yakuza will come, Metal Gear will come, Gran Turismo will come, Hot Shot Golf will come, all those franchises that were on PS3 will come to PS4 as well. They didn't all die overnight just because you forgot them.
