Clarification wise its Sony's Launch date to the end of this year.

If Sony can somehow ramp up production for Q3 and Q4 and have a price cut in there somewhere i can see them pushing a high number, Somewhere in the 17-19m range.


So you think they are going to doubt what they have sold so far? Wow, that to me is optimistic considering how well the PS4 started and has trailed off lately.

Well the first six months have exceeded anything that Sony planned for.  That and reduced cost of the console tells me they are free to overproduce and channel stuff and not worry about the after effects since the console is still in demand.

That's true, but they couldn't keep up demand before. And now they have more areas to supply than they did before unless that was all PR BS (my guess). 



Gotta figure out how to set these up lol.

Well going by vgchartz analysts I will say the wii u. The wii u is making a comeback and closing the gap vs the ps4. MK8 is bringing in the casuals. Hyrule warriors and bayonetta 2 will bring in the hardcore and help them not sell 750k lifetime each. SSBU will sell a lot of wii Us. All of this combined with the fact that the ps4 is ''going in the wrong direction'' will help the wii u sell more than the ps4 globally in the US.

This post is the epitome of everything wrong with these forums.

That's easy..Wii U.
Even PS4s peak year won't be higher than Wii U lifetime's sales.

Not at all clear what your question is-  the clarification was not clear

 

PS4 is already ahead of Wii u life to date sales -  no the Wii u will not catch up this year

Since I can't see WiiU bombing so hard or ps4 selling so beastly WiiU LT> PS4 first 14 months. If bet were holiday 2015 or at least then maybe a chance.

I see ps4 at 17-20M by dec 31st 2014 and WiiU 20-25M LT. So a very small chance.

The question is will the Wii U lifetime sales beat Sony PS4 sales for the first 13 months



Dunban67 on 31 July 2014

Not this year but ps4 will prob sell more by end of 2015 ( or sooner) than Wii U lifetime.  



DonFerrari on 31 July 2014

A more amusing bet would be counting only december sells for ps4 (or holidays) against WiiU LT who would be on top?

That post was a joke. Have you heard about TheDrills infamous line "globally in the US"(lmfao)? Anyway, that line is used as a 'staple' for every ridiculous prediction and personally I laughed so hard at random15s post I almost dropped my phone. If you want to see the thread were TheDrill originally said the globally in the US thing, then you need another user to do it(im on my phone, so I can't link it right now). So can someone link the 'globally in the US'thread?
