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.


For PS4 yes you're right.

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...


Yes, like how nintendo fans Celebrate wii-u only selling slightly less then ps4 in Japan despite getting embarassed World wide.

I didn't say the PS4.  I meant the WiiU.

I honestly don't see too much celebration, it's pretty clear that both systems are selling poorly in that region. I was only pointing out that the PS4 being on that level really isn't something to brag about. I think the example I used was sufficient.

But take what you will out of it, I suppose.

Its probably a result of the 4-5+ PS4 Japan flop threads that are out right now, and the PS4 will flop prediction threads made a while back.

PlayStation 4 is simply destroying the competitors in all the territories.


I can put a fine bet it's not beating it's competitors in Brazil. The grey markets are winning over retails which means the sales there = very low. Because of this grey markets have litteraly a lot of other countries consoles selling there. It's selling cheaper then their retails but making atleast 400+ USD profit on them.

At the moment the Ps4 sold more then the Wii U in Japan.

We will know in the moths to come who eventually will sell more.

You cannot say that with any hope of accuracy.

You are using VGChartz estimates which has a percentage of error. They are not, repeat NOT actual retail figures. You cannot say whether one system sold more than the other from those estimates when there is a difference of only 136 between them. The best that can be summised from the figures at VGChartz is for that week they sold about the same.

I've noticed a lot of people here say the Wii U is doing much better then ps4 in Japan.but according to Vgchartz this week

PlayStation 4 sold 6912 copies.

Wii U sold 6776 copies.

The PlayStation 4 sold more then Wii U.

So why so many people say the Ps4 is doing so badly while it sells more then Wii U?

I would love to get some answers :)

tell me what you think.

The VGChartz community for all it's faults is still conditioned to expect much higher level trolling than what you are engaging in (Make nonsensical statement, support with irrelevant fact, repeat fact ad nauseum). You need to add some more finesse, either some variation or some humor or both. It's more difficult, but you're up against some high class stealth trollers that bring a lot more to the table than you are in this thread. If you plan on having a long and successful career on this site, I would invest some time in creating higher level posts.
