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.

Georgasm I'm not surprised considering the better performance the PS4 has been in games, I guess the Xbone just doesn't performance like a 'next-gen' console should.
I'd stay with Microsoft though simply for Halo.
The only reason why im staying with it, but there still wouldnt be a reason why i would switch to ps4 anyways

Watch_Dogs They could of been PC users who wanted a nextgen console, or people who are getting into gaming, a present for birthday etc etc. How does Sony know how the 31% were just Wii and Xbox 360 owners?
Exactly what I was thinking

I was a Xbox 360 player and I initially got the PS4 but shortly after I got it I traded it back in for the Xbox One. I did that because most of my friends were getting the Xbox One soon and playing solo was already getting old.
