Bad comparison. The wii had explosive sales because of the motion controls. Once the excitement over them and wiifit was over, the hardware sales suffered massively. Same with xb360 and kinect. PS consoles, on the other hand, keep selling well over longer periods of time because of the combo of good 1st and 3rd party games. Please bump the thread in 6 years if the ps4 doesn't manage to sell 100m by then. The ps4 doesn't need to sell 100k every week. It can do 100m with less than than in some weeks (and more than the wii in other weeks). I have little doubt that it will keep selling well after its 5th year unlike the wii. 

In Japan, certainly, but consoles in general are dead in Japan, so that's a wash.

Sony is doing leagues better in North American than it did last generation, so I'm not sure what you're talking about?

As of now xboxone is beating ps4 buddy 

Whatever floats your boat.

Sale statistics would point the other way, though.

lol, it isn't a bad comparason, I am telling you basically what you need to hit 100m sales. This is something that the PS4 isn't doing. The Wii was hitting more than what the PS4 in 2012. The Wii had never dropped (never checked all the weeks, if it did get to them, it was an outlier) to what the PS4 numbers are now until sometime later in 2012. So with the PS4 selling and following the trend it is, it will never hit 100 mil sales. It will need to sell around what it is now every week on average for the next 9 or so years to make it to 100m which we all know, it will not keep the current numbers. It will slowly drop overall with spikes here and there and we also know that the next generation of playstation will come before 9 years from now otherwise Sony will be the ones that are getting left behind.

nice misleading antagonizing title again, but this kind of crap is why the site is going down hill. you could have "ps4 wont achieve 60% market share" or "wont beat wiiu and xb1 combined" but saying those 2 are closing the gap is a straight up misleading baiting title. the fact that the mods continue to let this shit go on is stupid.

Let's ignore this and invent ways of making it sound less dominant. Got any ideas?

Why the heck is Wii U being included at all? I don't intend this to be as a 'lulNintendo' dig, because I do actually really enjoy their line of consoles, especially when it comes to the sheer joy of local multiplayer with my friends; bottom line, when it comes to social gaming with folks in the same room, my Wii (and eventually Wii U,) is going to be the top shelf item.

But that being said, the entire point (or so I thought, at least,) of monitoring the relative sales of the consoles was to try and determine the sort of leverage each company can exert on the market. Basically, 'If You Sell It, They (the publishers and developers) Will Come.'

But the reason the sales comparisons matter to the Xbox One and PS4 is because of how similar they are in most other respects. They even run on a similar architecture, and so the amount of Tender Loving Care a publisher gives one platform or the other, (whether it's taking advantage of unique hardware features, or simply pushing for a certain resolution or framerate,) will likely tie into how much profit they expect to extract from it. If the PS4 version of a game is selling in significantly higher numbers than the Xbox One version due to a gap in hardware numbers, then a publisher is going to inevitably keep that in mind when it comes time to decide whether they'll be doling any sort of exclusivity, how much they'll be charging, and if they reeeeally want to bother trying to get the Xbox One version of their game above 900p.

Nintendo is... well, it's Nintendo. It has its own little fiefdom in the market, and chances are it will rarely, if ever, be included in 8th generation third-party titles that are intended to push the limits of the PS4 and Xbox One. It doesn't matter, either, because it's pretty clear that they're quite happy being Nintendo, and to be honest, so am I. ^^ Still, their involvement in a sales comparison is a bit pointless, because when it comes to fighting tooth or nail for third party exclusive content, and the other concerns that Sony and Microsoft will be facing, the Wii U simply won't be in the equation.

Xbox one SOLD MORE THAN PS4 this week IN NORTH AMERICA DENIAL 

im sorry you dont like my title, but you suggesting that the mods shouldn't let this go on is advocating nothing more than a dictatorship here. im glad vgchartz allows you a little more freedom than what youre suggesting here.
