Easily PS4's and Sony's biggest market. Won't be surprised if it ends up at 60m+

For ps4 to be leading after Wii's boom years is N'sane. The gap is going to be huge after the next couple of years. Europe truly is Sony land.

If PS4 is winning at this point it will blow the Wii away, it had a hot and bright fuse but it was short.

There's only 2 races: White and 'Political Agenda'
2 Genders: Male and 'Political Agenda'
2 Hairstyles for female characters: Long and 'Political Agenda'
2 Sexualities: Straight and 'Political Agenda'

This was an interesting fight for the first 3 years of the gen. But now it's a foregone conclusion with Wii dropping off a cliff from this point forward. One of the aspects of last gen that really surprised me was just how quickly Wii entered a death spiral.

Death spiral or cordless bungee jump?

The latter: Ninty must blame only itself for killing Wii too early, if we look at the chart, Wii was for many, many months almost as strong as PS4, managing to outsell it monthly a few times and even LTD, temporarily, a couple of times, then it started declining early and eventually plummeted while PS3 and XB360, the rivals it previously almost slaughtered, were still selling well.

Yep, some in VGC attribute the fast death of Wii to Nintendo diverting their assets to develop games for WiiU and leaving it unsupported for a couple years before WiiU came, and worse yet haven't even put enough content on WiiU. So a total mismanagement.
