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.

Establishlolohnoeszsz i like how Sony makes up lies to try and "control" the console market. Jesus these guys are trying their absolute hardest this generation. meanwhile MS is sitting back and laughing at them while getting rich. stay mad Sony.
Yet PS4 is selling more than Xbox One right now, so I mean Microsoft isn't controlling the market right now. Hell, even the Wii U's sold more than the One. But yeah, I guess MS fanboys will believe anything these days.
lmao at the fact that you called us Xbox Fanboys... What are you a PS4 Fanboy?

I would've figured this. I say some people had a PS3, and switched over to an Xbox One.

I find this odd because I know of about 50 or so friends on the 360 that I played with and all of them either play with the X1 or 360.
I guess Im just in a weird click.

I guess a lot of people have biased opinions on everything that has to do with consoles. I've been a playstation fan practically most of my life but i switched to the 360 in 2008 and i really love it, i guess i just like both the same but i don't know which console to get.
