Wii was a beast the first 4 years
Yeah. Wii's numbers from 2007 to 2010 were insane.
2006: 2.9M (1 month)
2007: 16.6M
2008: 24.2M
2009: 21.3M
2010: 17.3M
2011: 11.5M
2012: 5.1M
2013: 1.9M
2014: 0.5M
Total: 101.3M
PS4 will take a big chunk of that lead this year though.
24.2M in one year is absolutely insane.
Matching Launch to date, this year the Wii did only 11 million, PS4 will be at least 18
This is the beginning of the end for the Wii in this battle. Very good first 4 years but average after that.
Really interesting to see who will take 2nd place after the Switch.
PS4 will blitz past Wii soon
This is developing exactly as most people were expecting. Nothing surprising really.
The wii was a freaking beast. How did sales fall so bad at the end???
So you are really all a bunch of assholes on this forum... I come and wait for explanation and arguments but all you can do is insult and negative dislike to make disapear my comment without arguments. So go fuck all of you, and please now you can banish me. I will still come and visit to appreciate some sales data.
Best regards.
Wii U and Switch = PS4 and PS4 Pro... this is a retard conclusion... Sorry.... JUST USE YOUR BRAIN - Do you have to buy again all PS4 titles to play it on a PRO? Or PRO has titles that are exclusive that didnt launch on standart PS4? Its simple. Switch has Splatoon 2 and Mario Odyssey, Wii U not... PS4 PRO has the same catalogue than PS4... Thats what you deserve
