nintendo hasnt thrown everything at them that they can. nintendo has only released like two games this year which is pathetic. microsoft has released like one and so has sony. piss poor support by all console manufacturers if you ask me.. all i am saying basically, is that sony isnt going to be able to dominate because of the hype that was created in 2013 this entire generation. theyre going to have to do something more than that. 

i work at a video game store (im in it right now actually lol) and i cannot tell you how many people come in who bought ps4 and an xbone for that matter and are so disappointed with the lack of games. mainly ps4 though. i see SO MUCH buyers remorse for that console. they look at our shelf of games for the system and its like yeah.. im not going to buy anythign today.


Personal experiences mean shit all and you know it, i got all 3 and the worst buy by a mile is the x1.  But that matters not sales do.  And Ps4 is so domminant you have to make threads about wiiX1U vs PS4.  They will domminate on their exclusives and better 3rd party games.  

Ninry released much of what they have, biggest they got.  Ms been cutting deals and droping price, they both done a hell of a lot.

So this thread is all in bold for some reason.

Also, well it's a better effort but I still disagree entirely.


you disagree that ps4 is going to be under 50% market share?

Pretty much. PS4 80mil, XOne 50mil and Wii U 25mil would be my guess

But I disagree more on the Xbox One (don't use Xbone please) and the Wii U closing the gap. It gets bigger every week.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

So. Much. Bolded.

youre right, personal experiences mean very little, but i do suspect that there are a lot of ps4 owners who are having buyers remorse, and i do believe that this sentiment is spreading slowly to friends and family. this is just a belief i have based off whats been going on in the past one or two months. ps4 sales have been declining though, and i believe that this is the reason.



Bold should be fixed now...

 

EDIT- Yay!

You want to know buyers remorse, pay 499 for a X1 and 7 months later you can get one for 325.  

Sales will slow and speed up, its a calm time for PS4 while its competition is in desperation mode doing all it can.  You dont get the big picture do you, PS4 is doing so well on little fueling it.  Those two are uber fraked when it actually gets going.  X1 already is if you look at the watch dogs sales breakdown, and wiiu is not rly ever going to compete with PS4 for sales.

Xbone + WiiU closing the gap with ps4 (1)

although it hasn't yet been a year since the release of the ps4 and xbox one, i think we have come a lot closer to answering this question. a lot of people believed ps4 was going to attain 60%+ market share and reclaim the glory of the ps2 days. with how things have been going in the industry, it seems obvious that its going to be a much closer race than it was in the 6th generation. even a closer race than it was in the 7th generation. (2)

e3 was telling in itself. microsoft did everything right while sony.. well, sony was doing things that microsoft was heavily chastised for the e3 before. all the while, the majority went ahead and gave nintendo the win.  (3)

(...)


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. (4)

 


So, in order :

1) For the X1 or wiiu to "closing the gap", they need to sell MORE than the ps4, and that's not the case.

1bis) Please don't add Wiiu and Xbone together, thanks.

2) A closer race than in 7th gen ? Really ? While the ps3 only got 2 or 3 millions more than the 360 ? With how things are now ? You're a poor analyst.

3) I don't know in which world you live, but the press and ppl in general didn't think microsoft "did everything right", Just look at the pools, or the conference conclusion in general. Most of the time, it's : Nintendo >>>>>>>>> sony > microsoft. Nintendo did everyhing alrightt yeah, even more with the treehouse. Sony had a lot of demos too in E3, while microsoft...well...

4) Do you know Grand turismo ? It sell more than halo, but maybe it's not important for you.

well you say all that NOW.. but you know how console generations can go..

i t hink the reason ps4 is coasting is because of everything that happened in 2013. microsofts blunders and sony's brillian pr stunts. it all worked out very well for them and i think theyre still riding on that success. the thing cant dominate this generation because of the hype it had during one year. something has to change. 

i guess all thats left to say is.. we will see what happens.
