Ps4 steam rolling it
There's really no reason to continue with this series of charts at this point lol
Why? I agree that the worldwide battle between PS4 and Wii will be more exciting from now on but these "gap charts" are not only done to show the "winner" but also to continuously compare dips, gap changes and aligned LTD total sales.
I always hear people requesting X vs Y charts and VGChartz has limited resources so I just figured it could be better spent on other things.
