Forums - Gaming - Can PS4 Sell more in its First Year Than Wii U Can in its Lifetime?

No. But Sony is doing a great job.

i think OT meant till end of 2014, if so yes

if it's ps4 1st year (end november) i will say no (but may be it will be close).



No. It's even unlikely with holidays. Definitely not happening, before November 16. Unless Wii U evaporates from the market.

Some of us here do not think Wii U will sell past 20 million. Ps4 is looking to have about 18 million sales in its first year. Can PS4 first year sales be greater than Wii U lifetime sales?


First year = Nov to Nov, and there is no way Ps4 makes 18 million in that timeframe. 18 million is an outside possibility for Nov '13 - Jan '15. It think it will take at least 18 months for Ps4 to sell more than Wii U will lifetime. But I would be prepared to say with absolute certainty that by Jan '16 PS4 will have sold more than Wii U can ever hope to achieve, even with a late gen turnaround of sorts.

No. I think the Wii U might will hit 18 million at most, but the PS4s first year ends mid november. If counting the one and a half months last year and this entire year up to first week of next year, then yes.

dont know where wiu lifetime will end up i would like to think 20-25M

but as for ps4 sales after one yr which would be end of nov., i dont think it will pass wiius LT whatever it will be, as for ps4s total end of 2014 sales i think they'll be 18-19M so take that as you will

I see wiiu doing 14/16m lt so yes ps4 1st year will be greater.



Great thread toastboy. Yeah. It's possible.



It really depends on the length of the Wii U's life. It may take years to find out so I will say no for now, but I would like to reexamine this at the end of October.

I think WiiU will sell a bit more in his lifetime sales than PS4 in its first year.   Could be 16-18m for PS4 in its first year, and 20m+ for WiiU in lifetime sales.
