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.

I play PC and Xbox One, simply because that's what I invested my money in, in the past, why switch from Xbox if you've spent over $1000 on your account?
I could care less for the Xbox graphics, give me a stable frame rate and I'm good to go.

Hei I swear, it seems like Sony is Directly bashing Xbox One all the time. Yes early stages the PS4 is better but they are getting to cocky for their own good.
Yea I don't know why but PS4 has been being a bit to cocky about all this and its gonna get them back.

I personally think that sony saying this is kind of childish..... Same with their E3 conference, I don't like their attitude towards the other companies and bragging when they are losing a lot of money themselves on their console. Especially when only half the people that have a PS4 have PS Plus in order to somewhat make back some of their losses. I did on the other hand just buy a PS4 because of a deal on ebay lol the console itself is awesome, the company that operates it has been getting on my nerves haha if that makes any sense
