Forums - Sales - All consoles have been announced - who will win next gen?

Guys,

now that all consoles have been announced, let's hear your predictions, which console will sell the most?
Please detail your prediction like this:

First year worldwide
Lifetime worldwide

First year NA
lifetime NA

First year Europe
lifetime Europe

If someone could post the Wii U numbers, it would be cool. I am at work right now.

Looking forward to your predictions.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

I don't know, but it looks more and more like we lose.



same as this gen.

but the gap will be minimal between the 3.

JP - Wii U
EU - PS4
NA -XB1



Switch!!!

to me it's really too early to tell. we haven't seen much games on ps4 or Xbox One and we can't judge how the standard user reacts to the new Xbox which has some really cool features and some really bad features. so doing a prediction like now isn't really more than guessing. yes, the internet rants about the new xbox, but who knows what casuals think?



must-have-list for platforms i don't own yet:

WiiU: Donkey Kong

XBone: Dead Rising 3, Ryse

Now its looking like the sales trends of all current gen consoles.

As a Canadian, I am just happy to know that Xbox will dominate where I live, and the continent too at that. I always get a chuckle when a American PS fan champions Japan sales or somewhere when his own backyard is Xbox turf.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Well, after last night im pretty sure Xbox wont have a chance in europe and japan.

PS4 will dominate but the Wii U has a good head start and price advantage. It will be a fight between PS4 and Wii U for first place.
In the US, god knows... microsoft seems to be able to sell whatever they want there, Just need to make a huge advertisement campaign and people eat it up. doubt it will be as sucessful as the 360 though.

LoL I just noticed I forgot Japan.

 

And I thought about something like this:
First year worldwide: PS4 15 million, Xbox One 15 million, Wii U XX million.

So a little bit more specific than just picking winners.

I will tag this. I'm going to digest the information for a bit before making any prediction but it looks like this may be a Nintendo/Sony race this time around, unless Microsoft has some serious surprises that counteract the BS that has been confirmed about the Xbox One. (Xbox Go Home. ;p )



We need to know prices. Price is one of the biggest factors.

For now I say 3DS.

This is the perfect answer to this thread.

I think the current gen has probably spoilt us too much, so all these new consoles don't really look that great.

 

The only thing that looks remotely awesome atm is 3DS. SO I have faith the consoles will find some angle to make them feel great other than social media and better graphics.
