Sony - 45%
Microsoft - 20%
Nintendo - 35%

the Sony/Microsoft market share all depends on when they release next gen consoles. If the 720 and PS4 release at the same time then I think Sony could easily beat them.


...And we have a winner!

Explain.



My prediction threads:

Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)

PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)

Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right

Halo 4 first 9 weeks sales prediction

PS4 to be down YOY in 2015

The only reason Microsoft has the edge on Sony now is because they released a year early. Also the PS3 has been selling more than the 360 ever since they were both launched so it seems logical to me that if they launched at the same time then Sony would win. Not to mention the complete failure Microsoft had with the launch of the 360 with RROD which was due to the pressure of wanting to release before Sony. Sony is in a posiition to have bigger launch title games (first party) since Microsoft just released their biggest gaming franchise recently (Halo) and I highly doubt that another game will be ready for next gen. Also Gears of war, their second biggest franchise, is having a new game released in 2013 and if the next gen consoles are released in 2013, I just don't see there being 2 Gears games in the same year. Sony on the other hand is in the perfect position seeing as most of their big franchises have already been released for some time. Killzone, Uncharted, Gran Turismo, New SSM project etc. Then we have Nintendo who I highly doubt will repeat the success of the Wii, but this does not mean that the Wii U will not be successful.

apparently its just common sense now that xbox will win next generation. they have yet to win a gen, they will still end in last place this generation despite releasing the earliest and yet somehow they will win next generation! common sense?  absolutely ridiculous.


USA = Xbox 720

Japan = Nintendo

Europe = Xbox 720 and PS4

Rest of world = Evenly distributed among all 3 (not far off it, anyway)

Genre love (Halo alone assures massive adoption) Sure, Halo guarantees success, but not domination. 

Home brand Doesn't really mean much in America... Japanese brands dominated only until this gen.

LIVE continuity This is a good point, and this infrastructure will probably go a long way. That said, as a consumer. if you're going to make a leap the best time would be at a generation leap no? What if Sony offer practically the same service for free? That won't mean Sony will dominate, not at all, but it will likely mean Microsoft won't.

Exclusive entertainment content deals Such as?

Ecosystem integration What ecosystem?

Those last 2 questions are not meant to be argumentative, I'm just not exactly sure whay you mean.

By the way, I think Nextbox will win next gen, I just don't think anyone will "utterly obliterate" the competition in any region, aside from maybe Nintendo in Japan.

get a dictionary, look up joke, look up sarcasm. 

as for your last post.  wow.  look up delusion and best case scenario too.

Bro this is all my opinion. I am not attacking you for thinking Microsoft will dominate next gen so quit attacking me. Fuck off you are suck a immature little prick. You seem to attack everyone that has a different opinion than yours. You see the people saying Microsoft will have 45%+ market share next gen? I am not attacking them because it's an OPINION. I think you are the one who needs to look up the word opinion in the dictionary. BROSKI.
