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 don't know why everyone is getting so defensive. Sony had a great reveal and Microsoft's put off a lot of people.
Its been known that a lot of xbox gamers were frustrated wi th Microsoft. I don't know why the defense force is assembling over this article.

Of course Sony would say that but I find it hard to believe just because most of us 360 folk cant afford or want to buy the xbox one yet ;)

Rocky5 I haven't moved to PS4 so bugger know how they can say that.
They probably had a survey with 300 people, retarded these things, there are millions over 100 million between MS & Nintendo. (Probably)
Also I won't be going PS4 ( LBP ) hopefully. Sony can blame there fan base for that, terrible people. (Keyboard elitists (fanboys)) (I know it goes both ways, but most sites now a days are just Sony fanboys attacking anyone & everyone)
Hey everybody! Rocky 5 isn't one of the people who converted and thinks everyone that has a PS4 is a sony fanboy!! (see, nobody cares what one individual person does)

Most of my friends who played Xbox 360 switched to PS4 so I'd say that this is accurate.

First of all they said 31%, so why would you think they are talking about you? Secondly, I doubt they stats are made up. These companies have ways of finding out.
