| Burek said: Niko said that legal sales of the two new gaming consoles have been outright disappointing thus far, and the firm anticipates that only 550,000 units total will be sold by the end of this year. Sales could improve still if prices are lowered and more AAA titles get approved and released on the Chinese market. The real opportunity, according to Niko, is in set-top boxes and Smart TVs, which are predicted to overtake console sales by 2019.

With all the negative predictions about China, banned games and grey market consoles, 550K to me seems actually a good number. But it seems that both Microsoft and Sony had bigger plans. I wonder if Sony can reboot PS TV microconsole there. |
Numbers actually seem ok. What was the companies predictions? I think Sony was a bit more realistic with their numbers.
