Xbox 360 and Wii owners have migrated to PS4, Sony says
In a newly published PlayStation interview, Worldwide Studios senior VP of product development Scott Rohde cited data from industry tracking firm Nielsen to back up the company's claim.
"Everyone in this industry always tracks that kind of stuff," he told CVG. "It's always fascinating to look at all this data. So, two of the things I can talk about - because they're true. 17 per cent of PS4 owners did not own a last-gen console. That in itself is a pretty shocking number.
"31 per cent of PS4 owners did not own a PS3, but they did own either an Xbox 360 or Wii," Rohde continued. "Now, those are some pretty amazing numbers. And that's why, again, I think we're doing things like bringing The Last of Us to PS4, because there's a huge percentage of those people who never got to play it and that's a shame."
Sony recently said that PS4 sales stood at seven million units as of April 6, while Microsoft said in late April that Xbox One shipments totalled five million units. Both platforms launched in November 2013, one year after Wii U. As of March 31, lifetime Wii U sales totalled 6.17 million units.

seemywebdesignCriticaI I think the only reason PS4 sold more
is because it was cheaper.
And the Wii U just didn't work.
So it's nothing to do with the fact the PS4 is more powerful, better graphics and better Exclusives...
if those were correct then that could be a reason but its not so yes it has nothing to do with it. the reason it sold more is because Xbox has only sold in 14 territory's and ps4 is selling in 40+

I may have moved from my 360 to the PS4.
But I have now moved from my PS4 to gaming PC.

this doesn't really mean a lot. If a amazing and really cool game comes out exclusive for one console it will boost sales of that console for awhile and that months sales will be higher. I am not really surprised about the 17% not owning any console at all because it could be they were waiting for the next console to get out before they bought one. I think it will be really instrested to see the 1 year numbers as that will be a more accrue telling of the console's success.
