Don't really see that as domination.

Yeah, I'm thinking something more like 40m PS4, 25m One, 20m WiiU. That is almost 50% marketshare, which will only grow over time.

The WiiU will be lucky to sell half of what the Xbox One sells.

The Wii U's starting to get in it's stride, it's had week-on-week gains, so you'd be foolish to make lifetime predictions this early on.

Of course it's seeing week-on-week gains...it's the holidays. Do you remember what happened last January to WiiU sales?

@Digi30: Lol, that would be absolutely awful for all consoles. That's simply not going to happen. We're talking about 3 years here, and you think none of the consoles will come close to selling 10m per year on avg.

and PS4 is getting the same boosted sales. Oh sad that you actually think, or want to pretend, that launch levels and holiday sales for PS4 will stay that way while everyone elses falls to nothing. Reality isnt something you visit often is it?

Most of you may know Michael Pachter from trolling Nintendo, never being right and catoring to a certain fan base by only saying what they want to hear.

What does Michael Pachter Do ?

He makes lame prediction that are never right based on wishful thinking and what Sony fans want to hear

The Future of Next Gen Consoles

Is something this guy has no clue about. Seriously he never gets anything right. The only reason to pull him up is if you are a Sony fan and you just have to have something to back up what you are claiming even if it has no merit.

Console Prices Will Drop

Yeah there are people out there that actually think we need this guy to tell us this because we couldnt figure that out for ourselves over the last 35 years of console releases where that happened every year

Fixed that for you, but dont let that get in the way of the circle jerk you and your boys are having where you are trashing anything that isnt Sony. WHy these obvious fan boy articles with no basis in reality are allowed to be posted is beyond me.

You can say whatever you want about MS or Nintendo fans but they dont sit around making blatantly bias and extremely uninformed post about the PS4 dying.

I wonder who exactly are you Sony kids so desperate to convince? Those of us that know better or yourself? Its gotten so bad it just looks like you are trying to reassure yourself more so then convincing others.

Could you sound like a bigger flog?

Good numbers for all from what i see :)

PS4 hitting 3.4m before january kind of surprises me but in a good way. Glad to see that I was wrong about their shipping. This bolds well for next gen consoles.

For the people saying XBO is doing horrid in Europe, XBO has only released in what, 13 countries? PS4 has released in over 30 and WiiU is available worldwide.

Even if XBO was available in all countries that PS4 was in PS4 would still outsell it of course, but that margin would decrease.

Anyways to continue it is nice to see the WiiU do well. The Vita did ok for itself though i still want to see it do much better for a console that has been on the market for a while.

The actual sales projections aren't half bad, actually. Pachter is still a tool though, but even a broken watch is right two times a day.

I just dont understand the reasoning behind any of these numbers. He predicts that Wii U will be at 20 million by 2016 which would mean that they think it will only sell 7.2 million per year in the next 2 years. It will be at about 5.3 million in the first 13 months and thats without its two biggest franchises (Kart,Smash), not to mention that Zelda and Donkey Kong are always huge sellers. PS4 would need to sell 16.5 million per year, which could happen but I have seen little in terms of software to push it to those kind of sales. Xbone is already tanking in Europe, will flop in Japan like every other Xbox, and if Microsoft loses America to Sony, I wouldnt be shocked if they didnt reach 35 million this entire generation. I'll throw my numbers out there by the start of 2016 just for fun.

PS4 - 30 m.
Wii U - 27 m.
Xbone - 15 m.
