By the way right now for 2014, PS4 is at 57% market.

So are we supposed to make predictions now...?


youre not supposed to do anything. you can do anything you want.. its a free country (at least where im from)


but you just stated your opinion in the first post...are we supposed to challenge your predictions? Theres no questions in your post. So we`ll just read your opinion, think "ok, thats nice" and then leave? Im just not sure what this thread is about, thats all...

some people claimed SECOND COMING OF THE PS2! others (like myself) believed that it was a false prophet. 

Someone read the Bible.

I agree with you, though, besides the 40%-30%-30% part!

I foresee that it will be like 50% Wii U, 30%Xbone, and 20% PS4. I mean look at the front page. PS4 was outselling the others combined and now it is barely at the top. If the trend continues, it would be even worse.

As I said last time. They aren't closing the gap. PS4 is still outselling both the Xbox One and Wii U every week. Gap between them is still getting wider every week.


well, if you noticed, i actually changed the title because it seemed to have caused a bit of confusion amongst many users last time. this is about ps4 DOMINATION. which means 50%+ marketshare at least. in that sense, yes, the gap is closing.


You needed to combine a Wii U hot on the heels of a big exclusive and a "price dropped" XB1 to outsell the ps4 by just 20k (assuming vgchartz is accurate). That should tell you that it is indeed dominating. Doesn't even need to do anything to sell almost as much as the other two combined. What do you think happens when they release games? Or future price drops happen?

Like i said in the other thread, PS4 will hit 50% in Spring 2015.


sony isnt going to have that big exclusive that is going to double its sales over a long period of time. no sony exclusive has ever proven to do for a playstation console what halo or mario kart does for xbox or nintendo consoles. theyre going to have to rely on big third party games like watch dogs to get those kinds of boosts that youre talking about.

Why does it need to double when it already has a good baseline? The holidays + The Order and Bloodborne will be enough for 50%.

Doubling didn't do much for either XB1 or Wii U. Cause doubling what's low isn't.. much, you know. That's how numbers work.

It was never going to be the second coming of the PS2. This generation, Sony has almost no support from Japan, who was one of their main contributors for the PS2. There's no way they get 150 million sales.

That being said, that hardly means that the Xbone or Wii U are "closing the gap", cause they aren't, not even close. PS4 will still outsell them both combined, with room to spare.



                                                                                                               You're Gonna Carry That Weight.

Xbox One - PS4 - Wii U - PC

How in any possible way could this be a closer race than it was in the 7th generation?

you do know that during the holidays, everyone gets boosted, right? haha. plus, who benefits the most from holidays? NINTENDO does. and games like mario kart are goin to benefit it not only this holiday, but the next and the next.. thats how games like mario kart works. sony doesnt have anything like that. i wouldnt be surprised if the wii u alone outsells the ps4 in a single week during the holiday. the order and bloodborne arent going to do anything during the holidays. theyll have a large opening week or two and thats it.
