Last generation, Wii was the best selling console and the most popular. This generation it is PS4. Up until now we have seen identical sales between the two, during their first year on the market. I think it is 'okay' to use Wii's results to somehow predict this Holiday.

Here goes.

-----Wii 2007--------------------PS4 2014-----

Nov 03: 296,372-----------Nov 01: 336,109 = 13,41 %
Nov 10: 282,996-----------Nov 08: 555,726 = 96,37 %
Nov 17: 469,651-----------Nov 15: 502,084 = 06,91 %
Nov 24: 673,069-----------Nov 22:
Dec 01: 699,757-----------Nov 29:
Dec 08: 728,498-----------Dec 06:
Dec 15: 686,612-----------Dec 13:
Dec 22: 1,462,609---------Dec 20:
Dec 29: 737, 820-----------Dec 27:

3 Weeks: 1,049,019-------3 Weeks: 1,393,919 = 32,88 % 

Total: 6,037,384-----------Total: 8,022,475 (estimated)


Judging by the numbers, the PS4 could very well end 2014 with 20-21 million. 


20 million is insane. But after reading your comparison it seems possible. Damn.

I must say, they are doing very well... but is it really possible for them to produce that many PS4s?

That is the question.

Good luck to them. But I feel they are overestimating by a long shot.

Hope they do. But will be futile if they just lose another 2 billion as a whole once again
