50% only ? Dont underestimate the power of playstation

Well as long as the WII U won't see the 20 million mark it's not that hard the Xone has to sell 80 million units and the PS4 100 million units which is far from impossible if it will do it anytime soon, well no holidays will prevent that from happening (luckily). Te xbox brand is not as solid as the plaaystation brand and the 360 was no PS2 so I don't see the one pulling of a PS3 which didn't sell that bad from the start to begin with.

The PS2 did it.

157 millions of PS2; 74,76 % maretshare
24 millions of Xbox; 11,42 % maretshare
21 millions of GameCubes.; 10 % maretshare
8 millions of Dreamcasts; 3,8 % maretshare

Total 210 million consoles aprox.

and if we count consoles plus handhelds

157 millions of PS2; 53,85 % maretshare
24 millions of Xbox;8,23 % maretshare
21 millions of GameCubes.;7,2% maretshare
8 millions of Dreamcasts; 2,7 % maretshare
81,50 millions of GBAs; 27,95 % maretshare

Total 291,50 millions aprox.

I suppose the PS4 can do it too. Not as dominating as the PS2, counting handhelds too Sony won't get 50% marketshare. But I don't see why PS4 couldn't get it on home consoles alone.

The PS4 will easily have 50% of the market share, especially towards the end of the generation. Purely because you would imagine that the Wii U life cycle will end way before the ones do for the Xbox 1 and PS4 which will bump the numbers even more. I think with adjustments that need to be made and the run up to xmas, PS4 will get to 50% before the year is out. I would imagine it would end up around the 55% mark when all is said and done over the coming years.

Sony delivers to almost all demographics. Of course they can pull it off if the momentum is swinging in their direction and they don't screw up. They've done it once and they can do it again. They are the most trusted gaming brand in the world and the averages of their sales in the indusry speak for themselves.

It will surpass the 50 percent mark during next summer. At the end of the gen i predict a 55 percent total for it while microsoft sits at 30 and nintendo on the remaining 15. Im fairly ceetain about xb1 result but nintendo might be able to get an addditional 5 percent marketshare depending on how aggressively they try to keep the wii u alive and it they dont decide to prematurely release a successor.

I had previously been skeptical that it could maintain a 50% marketshare for any significant length of time. I just feel like the other systems will have offerings that enough people will find worthwhile, over the life of the generation, to invest there as well.

Now though, with the continued established dominance, I say its a distinct possibility that they get there in 2015 and stay there for a while.

I expect something between 60 and 65%.

I think it will hit 70%. WiiU has very little left, and the XBO is going to be devoured by the PS4 in the next 18 months.

My lifetime predictions

PS4: 110 million (62%)
XBO: 40 million (23%)
WiiU: 25 million (15%)

Give or take a few percent
