Not surprising, I think ps4 will overtake wii u once it launches in japan, but if ninty get their games out quick it might catch up again by summer.
I would think if X is out for summer it'd be a big seller for the ps3/4 crowd.

Just shows if you hype the hardware enough and do an amazing job of marketing you can sell without compelling games.

lol before Sony announced this VG had PS4 at 3.4 million. That is why VG is always a joke. They are so off it's hilarous. VGChartz is a total Joke and the forums themselves are full of idiots. Nothing of value would be lost if VG stopped existing today.

I think beats and apple both already proved that marketing is (almost) everything.

A product is only as good as its marketing. If you can't sell the product well to the consumerist market, you aren't going places fast.
That said, I feel that from what I recall from Sony's campaign (what ads I've watched, the floorspace it took in stores etc.) they have done a really great job. That's not say that's all they had going for them. I'm really digging the console, but I've seen enough of people stances on this forum that it's not worth anyone's time debating about it.
The point is, Playstation 4 made massive sales because they have a strong marketing campaign, something that Nintendo could've had with the Wii U if they had focused well on.

Dudebros bought into the hype so they can play CoD and BF on a "powerful" machine. Such hypocrisy. Most dudebros are just idiots who can't be bothered to play something more complex than just shooting and are currently bandwagoning on TLOU.

I wouldn't necessarily say that. Playstation has a habit of supplying vast amounts of Japanese dev games, and I think smarter individuals are simply bracing that likely fact.

Well the Last of Us is more compelling than any game that Nintendo has put out with the Wii U. You sound pretty salty man.

Sony did an awesome job of advertisement, the job that Nintendo didn't do for the U, so they're reaping benefits. Personally when I have enough incentive I know I'll get a PS4 (incentive = KH3)
In other words, I love you

There hasn't been one game that is as good as The Last of Us on the Wii U. Super Mario 3D World is awesome, but it doesn't really match up the masterpiece that The Last of Us is.
