Forums - Sales Discussion - PS4 Yet The Fastest Selling Console Of The History

I was checking last months Wii Comparison with PS4's during same time-frame. Wii was just ahead and now surpassed by PS4.

To be fair the Wii was impossible to find in the same timeframe. I dont think the PS4 will keep pace in year 2 (Wii was just silly in 2008...) but I think the PS4 will not hit a wall and die after year 3 like the Wii.



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

Wasn't Wii regularly out of stock for like 2 years?

Anyway, congrats to PS4. But come the end of their lifecycle, it won't have sold more than Wii, at least in the same time frame.



The tile is misleading as others already pointed out.

You should replace selling by shipping.

Those numbers are great for PS4 anyway...



Perfect PR talk. Just before the holidays, obviously the shipments would go up.

Its not the fastest selling console, yet.

Nice to see Playstation on top again! Also why so many haters in this thread?



"but wii was out of stock a lot!"
Yeah, and the Wii was available globally day 1, wasn't the case for the PS4.



When will it run out of steam!



Hail to the King, baby!

Also, loving the hatorade in this thread.

The difference is that you are comparing shipped #'s.  Back when the Wii came out, you couldn't walk into a store and pick it up for the first 15 months.  So, the Wii probably still has a higher sell through at this point when compared.



It is near the end of the end....
