Wii is about to flat line
That was probably the last fight which the Wii won against PS4.
Overtake the wii by the middle of the year perhaps!
Wii sells about 5 million I think in 2012. So I think it should take till about the middle of the year till the PS4 finally overtakes it. Wii stayed ahead for about 5 and a half years. Not bad.
2 or 3 months to pass, maybe at end of fiscal year.
