it makes no sense why so many are buying it. I mean all this for better grapix and no games in the top 10?


It's 2013, digital sales make a big % of the numbers.

The PS4 will not have the same momentum as the Wii had, but it will have far better legs. I see no reason why it should not outsell the Wii in the longrun


I can tell only ONE thing

 

Metal Gear Solid V

 

This game alone will help sell 20 Million PS4 in 12 months since worldwide console launch. 

Gamers love Hideo Kojima and his games. Especially Japan. 

MGS4 did wonders for very expensive PS3 back then. 

Except it's also for the Xbone, PS3 and 360.

Do you really think that MGS fanbase will be buying Xbox One to play this game ?  ;) I think not. I don't know anybody who is MGS fan and have Xbox. 

Also, MGS V will be gaving definitive version on next gen consoles: 1080p and 60 FPS. Almost nobody care about current gen version with low resolution and 30 FPS. 

 

EDIT: X360 is irrevelant in Japan. Most of the sales will come from PS3 and PS4.

Believe me, I've wondered that about a lot of consoles.

Pretty sure less care about spending $400 or $500 to play a slightly superior version of the same game.

Your edit is a contradiction, why bring up the 360 and PS3 if you think it won't sell there?

PS4 doesn't have the same mania that wii had. This will calm down soon, and it may even slow down a lot. PS4 is gonna have to prove itself with must have games before we see any kind of sustained huge sales. This will probably happen eventually and sales will pick up a lot late next year or the year after.

Based on what? It's selling out instantly everywhere AND has sold more than Wii did. Did you miss the mania around the launch in Europe? 

Sales don't need to pick up. They're already epically high.

I hope you guys get paid to be Sony's PR reps and aren't just doing this for free.

What the hell are you talking about?

I thought it was clear.  You and pezus are so pro-Sony and you make outlandish predictions in favor of Sony ("PS4 is totally the next PS2 based on about one month's sales, heck it may sell one BILLION units!") that I think Sony should pay you to post.

And apparently, if it's brought up, you don't get it and you get vulgar about it.  No need to swear!

Sony always promises long life cycle and great support with new IP's and contect, so they trust sony that they will have great gaming from studios like Naughty dong, Santa monica, Media molecules, Quantic Dream, Japan, studio, Sony London studio etc., and alos the hardware is great. People buy Playstation for five years not just playing for sometime in holidays and forget it.

You know, if I say I bought my Wii U at launch for a long life cycle, waiting for great games  from studios like Retro Studios, Monolith Soft, Game Freak, HAL Laboratory, Intelligent Systems etc., I would be called  a "sheep", because you know: "Never buy a console at launch"... I know it's not related to this argument, but it's really interesting to me.



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

Wii Sports was a must have title?

This is not the same thing at all, it would be logic to wait when it comes to Wii U since nintendo consoles have a shorter life cycle, especially when the sales are bad, then, the price will surely drop again.



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

Wouldn't the same thing apply to the PS3 in 2006 or the Xbone now?

It's the same thing. Nintendo always support their consoles between 5-7 years, Sony supports their consoles for a much longer time, but they both sell the same product.
