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.


Well the WiiU is outselling it now even though its as you say VERY weak...

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.

The west has already proven that the Wii and PS3 are completely irrelevant to this, the Wii outsold the PS3 by 15 million in the US and about 2.7 million in the UK and the PS4 has already handily outsold the Wii U in both regions.

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.


I didn't forget then. Tales of sure is a system seller, but not THAT system seller. Bloodburne? No. Yakuza already on PS4, Metal Gear too (yes, I know there will be another). GT? I doubt it will move enough consoles to outsell Wii U

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

...Yeah, because the Wii was a runaway success. How hard is it to understand that Wii U is not remotely comparable to the Wii in terms of success?

Is not. But PS4 is not a runaway sucess in Japan too. So my point stands

But the PS4 is comparable to the PS3 in success...
