Wow the Xbox One AND the PS4 COMBINED only outsold the Wii by less than 12 million units in 25 months?? Shows you how strong the Wii was by comparison. It takes BOTH new consoles to beat it in the same amount of time.
This chart makes no sense, Xbox One and PS4 are in direct competition with each other. What does their combined total have to do with the Wii?
Sorry, but I dont really understand the sense this gap chart - it does not make very much sense to me.
If you want to do something similar to this, I suggest PS4 -vs- PS3+X360. This one should be much closer than PS4+XBone -vs- Wii ever will be.
Wii is/was just outselling PS4 by a small amount - This one here will be very one-sided.
But to be honest I am surprised that the Wii had managed to reduce the gap between Month 17 and 22 (should be march to august?) by almost 2 million.
