Do you expect a drop of almost 100M in consoles??? Let's not forget Vita drag and 3DS not tracking above DS that we will maybe see a 50M drop in handheld or more... that isn't very reasonable... |
Now that you point it out... yeah, pretty much. Let's not forget how this gen was, and will always be, very different - almost certainly very different to next-gen.
Wii was a phenomenon. Unlikely to be repeated. But going back one gen..everyone and his dog had a PS2, but total sales for all three were 150+20+20=190. My predictions put next-gen (PS4, X1 + Wii U) at selling 195million, so slightly up on the PS2 gen. And I wouldn't be shocked if the figures were all slightly higher (e.g. 110mil PS4/75mil X1, 40mil Wii U) to make it clear growth over that gen. Bearing in mind, once you take Wii out, PS3/X360 only made 160mil sales together, so this seems right.
Also, this was a very long gen. I think it's clear MS and Sony aren't looking to make the gen as long this time around, so that has to be factored in, too.
I stand by my predictions 100%
