 This is why i don't understand why people bother to 'celebrate' these trivial sales victories where one console outsells another by a few percent or less.

Because neither company, being a pure legal fiction, can whip 'em out to compare sizes.

Also I don't think whipping it out would sit terribly well with Nintendo's family friendly image :P

It doesn't matter if it outsells it by 200 units, the Wii U software sales are much better then PS4


That won't continue, comparing a system that has 1.5 + years of software to 3 months = grasping at straws.


It is what it is though, and it's only going to get better.

To show how irrevelant this difference is, let's lok at the other sources (Famitsu and MediaCreate).

  VGChartz MediaCreate Famitsu
PS4 6,912 8.480 8.680
WiiU 6,776 7.613 8.065
PS4 - WiiU 136 867 615

The difference for PS4 for the different trackers is 1768, the difference for WiiU is 1289, the biggest difference between the systems is 867 at MediaCreat. So the difference between the two systems is smaller than the margin of error. Bragging about this 'victory' is useless.

Sentence does not compute...


Pretty easy to understand.

Oh please, explain that sentence.

Wii U fans should just let the PS4 fans have this, I mean they are currently leading in the country right now, its kind of insecure to get up in arms about it.

Guys, it's OBVIOUSLY due to Sony not being able to meet demand that the PS4 is selling so low in Japan... doesn't take a genius to work that one out!


is there anyone here that lives in japan that can support this?

I've never heard anyone say that stock issues was the reason for the low sales there.

Well, how many more units would the PS4 have sold over three months, if it had launched in late November? What do you estimate?

January and February are traditionally huge system sellers, don't you know?

I am not surprised that the guy I asked refused to answer.

Sorry, I tend to try and ignore and not get into any back and forth with agenda'd users, no matter their side.



Thanks jlmurph!

This reminds me of how some users here would celebrate Mario 3D World barely outselling Knack in the U.K. I mean, sure, it's technically a victory...but not one you really want to draw attention to...
