Yes but it was not the first year, the second year is always bigger, i think it's more like 2007 for Wii, it sold around 7M from October 20, 2007 to december last week ( including 5 days of january)

Well, what i'm saying, is that, if PS4 beat Wii in its first holiday, PS4 will beat again Wii in its second Holiday season, by similar margin.


Wii had a big advantage PS4 hasnt : Japan , it sold more than 200k for example the week before christmas, so Us+ Europe will have to compensate the japan sales by a lot to beat Wii first holiday



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

You forget that Wii had Japan's advantage in its first holiday too against PS4 and PS4 still sold more than Wii at launch. Basically, what i'm saying is, USA, EU and ROW are a bigger pushers than Japan was with Wii back then.

When you compare population size though they are very comparable. (PS4 and X1 anyway)

For Man-Bear-Pig: 

Last 9 Weeks PS4 vs Xbox One in the UK

10,615 - 6145 = 4470 (~73%)

10,834-6334 = 4,500 (~71%)

43,551-22,647 = 20,994 (~92%) Destiny Week (PS4 Marketing)

18,727-13,361 = 5,366 (~40%)

33,896-34,072 = -176 (~-0.5%) FIFA Week (Xbox Marketing)

22,334-15,197 = 7,137 (~47%)

24,861-13,578 = 11,283 (~83%)

22,109-13,472 = 8,637 (~64%)

Total Gap in the last 9 weeks = 58,211

Def some crazy sales. Anyone got the PS3, wii and 360 1st oct weekly numbers?

Xbox 360 number is for October 21, 2006, Wii and PS3 are October 20, 2007.

Wii 301,238 (+26%) 13,158,731
PS3 162,822 (+2%) 5,430,633
X360 80,656 (+3%) 4,998,226
OT: PS4 doing what PlayStation does, but the X1 didn't do half bad itself!

Thanks that would have taken me 30 min on Mobile lol

So after this holiday the consoles are doomed posts will stop for a while, the PS4 on it's own making sure this gen will end above 150 million if it keeps this rate up. With some help of Xbone and U it will end above 220 million which is reason enough for another consolegen which makes me a happy person.



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar
