>>The PS4 has become the fastest-selling home console ever,
By it's 2nd year the Wii had sold 70 million units
By it's 2nd year the PS4 has sold just over 30 million units.
>Wii sells a lot due to interesting new mechanics, great games and general excitement from the public
>It's a casual console
>Playstation 4 sells a lot despite not innovating at all, having have no games, and only being bought due to brand recognition.

Lol. Sony really has nothing going for them: Every notable third party company they relied on since their inception are either leaving gaming entirely or becoming trash, their first party devs are more interested in making movies than games, and we're already seeing Wii U games outsell notable PS4 games, despite the huge gap in hardware sales.
Once PS4 sales drop off, they will really have nothing going for them. PSNow was a disaster, the company as a whole is a wreck and yet no one is talking about that.

Bullshit. It had sold 45 million. Lifetime sales were just over 100 million, well short of the PS2.

Wii sold a lot because of soccer moms and causals buying it for the wagglan shit. Also, besides WarioWare every fucking game was made worse by motion controls, and yes, I'm including metroid prime in this judgement.

Nintendo actually revels in their nostalgia while cashing in on it. Their whole model revolves around people wanting to play the same garbage they've played for their entire lives.
Sony, by comparison has no nuance and is just blatantly cashing in on nostalgia and good feels since the time is right.
