PS4 is likely to struggle this year due to the lack of games of interest for Japanese players, so definitely not happening before 2015.

I want to say mid-to-late 2015, but then I remember how well my last "how long will it take the PS4 to outsell the Wii U" prediction went. I'll say early-to-mid 2015.



I believe in honesty, civility, generosity, practicality, and impartiality.

lifetime sales? lol, no way. i actually think WiiU has a very good chance of outselling PS4 in 2014 sales.

No most likely in 2015 unless Nintendo go out of their way to gain sales in japan buy money hatting 3rd party's for exclusives like ( DQ 11,Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate HD, tales of, Shin Megami Tensei V,etc). If they gain a large number of exclusives like with the 3DS  they might be able to hold on another year or two.

Unless SE rushes out FFXV this year, I don't think so

Dunno, PS4 is holding since last week. Its selling the 3 times more. So far, nintendo exclusives are the only one that made some diference for 2-3 week and even DK didn't helped at all. So i will go with PS4.



"Hardware design isn’t about making the most powerful thing you can.
Today most hardware design is left to other companies, but when you make hardware without taking into account the needs of the eventual software developers, you end up with bloated hardware full of pointless excess. From the outset one must consider design from both a hardware and software perspective."

Never is the most probable option. as of now, ps4 is tracking way bellow wii u and will take a while untill it even matches wii u's 3rd and 4th weeks in ltd sales. It wouldn't come close to doing it even if wii u stopped selling today. A little over 1 million ltd on december 31 is my guess. It would do better than that if FF 15 is out for 2014 but still wouldn't be close to surpassing wii u.
