Forums - Gaming Discussion - Wii's Peak>PS4's peak

It doesn't need to. PS4 will sell for much longer and stay and attractive product, unlike the Wii merely 3 years into it's lifetime.

And to think...Wii U won't even hit that in its lifetime.

Damn that is cold, probable, but cold.

Many are ignoring trends. This gen will not sniff last gens totals. PS4 isn't even doing better than PS3 yet, imagine PS3 was the market leader last gen with its putrid start? There is no Wii this gen. The economy will not allow this gen to be greater than last.

is the economy much worse than it was just a few short years ago? I been hearing the economy excuse since the late 90's and early 2000's to why a console wont sell.... this economy didn't stop the xone/ps4 in its record launch week... I bet ps4 is well ahead in its first 7 months compared to the ps3,and it will always have a better price point for the most part.. it will easily surpass the ps3



PS4 cannot sell that much in a year because:

1) Its price is much higher.

2) Like other PS consoles, it will be popular for much longer than the Wii and will sell for many more years.

Cause the PS4 has been outlong enough for us to fully understand the trends that it will follow. Remember when people predicted it would have a shitty launch like the PS3? PS4's basically had the best launch out of all of the predecessors, lets see what happens after a full year.

whut?? wtf are you talking about the ps4 did 8.2 mill in 8 months while it took 14months for the ps3 to do that. check the numbers before posting dumb shit


PS4 is a poor market leader;. in the kingdom of the blind the one eyed man is king, it won't be long before PS4 starts tracking below PS3. Wii is untouchable. Bottomline. Watch your mouth kid.



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

I think PS4 will be very front loaded. The only variable is how many Xbox fans from last gen will Sony steal? The economy fell off the cliff in 2008-9, Video Games are a luxury pass time. I don't think a Wii like phenonmenon will occur. And I damn sure don't think PS4 is the second coming. 

Consoles in Japan are history, USA is declining. I just see decline everywhere. I don't think any console this gen will be a phenom.

Wii sold like 17 million in 2010, I think you mean 4 years into it's lifetime.



You all think PS4 will sell better than PS3 ltd? I don't, I think it will be the market leader this gen, but I don't think any console gen 8 will outsell their predecessor. That is what I'm saying. Too many factors working against the consoles this gen.

Yes, thanks man. The nosedive after that was cool to see.
