Less than 500K now... Should be around 200 - 250K right before the Japan launch, and should easily clear that in it's first few hours there on the market. By the Week of March 1st, the PS4 will be the best selling 8th gen console.

After the launch in Japan, it should be the new king for a while or forever

shouldn't the gap start at what the wii u sold up to the ps4 launch, not the gap after the day it sold.
Also the change over the last 12 months isn't NA it's the change from the peak gap (the day before ps4 was on sale) to the current gap.

Wii U is a error: 6,3 milion.
CMQ, 6,05 is too few with DK...
And PS4 is too 7 milion!!!
In japan sold maximum 250/300 k the first week, and the second 70/80 k...
In 1 months sold 400/450k!!!!
Yes, coming Infamous, but for now, PS4 sold 5,35 milion, and sold 1,65 milion in 6 week is impossible.
My opinion of course, respect your. ;)
