Because it fits their worldview or whatever. |
PS3 outselling Wii wasn't too crazy. I mean, its sales were starting to rise, while the Wii's were starting to fall, and it finished just ~15M behind it. My guess is they were expecting the PS3 to have better legs after the PS4 launched, maybe match the PS1's ~20M after the PS2 launched. Two things stopped that, though. One, the PS3 was already 7 years old when the PS4 launched, and two, Sony wasn't able to get the price any lower than $199.

I don't know. I don't really see it dropping as much as ~27% this year. Not with some big games still launching and, more than likely, a cut to $249. I'm going to go with a drop of 15%, or 15M. But, we shall see.

That's quite the range.
