PlayStation 4 Already Has More Million Selling Titles than Wii U
Sony just accomplished an amazing feat over Nintendo, considering that the PlayStation 4 has barely been out two months, and the Wii U has had a substantial over-a-year lead since November of 2012.
Per most recent VGChartz numbers, The PlayStation 4 already has 5 (1 first party and 4 third party) titles  that have sold at least a million copies each, compared to the 4 first party million seller titles that Wii U currently holds with distinction.
All of the Wii U’s 3rd party titles have never reached a million titles sold, paralleling Nintendo’s lack of proper support for 3rd parties, as well as 3rd party developer reciprocation as well.
The titles for each system, along with the units sold in different territories, are listed below, thanks to user AnthonyW86 from the gamrConnect forums:

And as AshKetchum1992 astutely points out:
“3 out of the 5 PS4 million sellers are shooters. 3 out of the 4 WiiU million sellers are platformers.â€
Quite the interesting metrics, when you break them down, thanks to AnthonyW86.
