PS4 is gonna win this gen, but damn if this industry doesn't look like its headed for trouble.

Wii U and Vita sales are horrific.

3DS and XB1 sales are disappointing.

There's only one platform out of the five new hardware pillars for this gen that's trending well right now.


Looks but its not.

One console domminated gen is better for the industry then a huge fragmented cluster fuck like the last one.

I get all the doom on here but it really shouldn't shock anyone.

-PS4 is doing good numbers. Problem is that they somehow are still getting outsold in terms of software when compared to Xbox One. People are buying them for future releases, which will eat into their console sales when those games come out. Sony needs to figure out how to produce more. Every month it's "Well there is a shortage". It sold about 250k, if they can't even handle that then how are they ever going to get up to 100 million lifetime like people are claiming.

-Xbox One is too expensive and Microsoft screwed themselves by taking a big dump on gamers. Forced Kinect. Tried to implement anti-consumer policies. Cost's $100 more yet is somehow weaker then the PS4.

-Wii U need's some games that people actually give a crap about. No one gives a shit about Pikmin. No one gives a shit about Wonderful 101. No one gives a shit about Wind Waker HD. People want Mario Kart, Smash Bros, Zelda, and an actual innovative new Mario game. You know what would be even nicer, any games at all. Releasing a game once a quarter while the 3DS gets piles of support of a load of garbage.

-3DS......Well it did good for a while but here's the reality. When your the good version, of your console is $199 and all of your games are sequels, it's not going to sell 100 million consoles. Period. Especially in this day and age with tablets and smartphones. The fact that it is at 43 million in itself is amazing. Pushing another 40 million, though? Good luck at that price with those games.

-Vita - There are no games anyone in the U.S. wants. U.S. gamers don't care about Sony's 1st party games. That was evident on the PS3, it just got covered up because Call of Duty and GTA were so huge, along with a bunch of other 3rd party titles doing very good numbers as well. The 3rd Party support is all Japanese and if it isn't it's just ports. Unless Sony can convince Rockstar to make a GTA for it (which I highly doubt), it's finished.



The 3ds is fading away..

VITA UNDERTRACKEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Not by much if it is undertracked at all.

Since nobody else will say it, Vita is 50% down YoY (34K last year). So much for remote play.

Tearaway < 3.3K. That will convince Sony to make more Vita games...

Not true

So, PS4 > WiiU + Wii + 3DS



According to this numbers i think someone needs to apologize



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

Nah, that whole track is golden.

PS4 271k

X1 141k

3DS 96k

PS3 <60k

Wii U 49k

360 <49k

Vita <25k
