The PS4 will gain throughout August, with a brief Wii boost for Monster Hunter. Things pick up a little with Sports Resorts in August. When Wii Fit Plus hits in October, the Wii will begin winning. After NSMB the Wii has a crazy strong December, that should wipe out whatever gains the PS4 made, and possibly put the Wii up between 9 and 10 million.
