Personally, I think it will be a very slight Wii U sales lead.

Look at the UK numbers. They were very indicative of ww numbers last week. This week they're seeing an 84% drop for Watch Dogs and 76% drop for MK8. Translate this into hardware sales and Wii U will not even break PS4's baseline.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

I'm not so sure.

No, ps4 will remain on top.

You're not good at math.  If you do what you said, Wii U exceeds PS4 slightly.

Last week it was a narrow vicorty for PS4, topping Wii U 201630 to 187028 (14602 units), or outselling it by 7.8%.  However, the key PS4 title/bundle was Watch_Dogs, which released earlier in the week than Mariokart 8.  Early info from the UK indicates Watch_Dogs on PS4 is down 84% while MK8 sales are down a less dramatic 76%.  If this carries over to hardware - and is a wordwide trend - we could see Wii U drop less than PS4 (by about 10%) and edge out a narrow victory for the first time.  What do you think... will this happen?


Watch dogs bundle was Europe only..ps4 putsold wii-u US and everywhere, so no ps4 will stay on top.

Your doing the percentage based of sales of last week, instead of just the boost from last week, you cant do that because the Wii Us base line is a lot lower than the PS4. Unless you think the baselines will be even from now on.

Again, you're doing it wrong. You don't substract the percentages from the total sales (PS4 is not gonna drop to near zero) but from the extra sales they got last week.

I doubt the Wii U is even gonna end up above PS4's lowest baseline (120k).

Nope! PS4 sales will only drop a bit, while WiiU sales will probably drop to 100k-120k!

I really doubt it.

PS4 went 120k-->200k, an increase of 80k.
Wii U was 30k--->190k, an increase of 160k.

Even a much smaller drop for Wii U (percentage-wise) would mean many more units less.


PS4 sold 8% more.  If Wii U's sales drop 10% less, it's a virtual tie.

It's not about total sales, but how big the increase was.

If PS4 loses 80% of the increase (80k), it stays at 140k.

If Wii U loses only 35% (highly unlikely but let's be generous) of the increase, it stays at 130k.

% down of % increase is irrelivant, only % of end numbers matter.  If Wii U went up by 666% and then down by 76% it's better off than PS4 going up by 120% and down by 84%.
