It's called constructive criticism. I'm certain PS4 will have 50% but on the other hand what good will it do if they keep posting losses? If everything was all peachy my post would reflect that. Won't post on your threads again sire.

Constructive criticism? Is Sony reading this thread and learning from your insight?

It's called off-topic. Irrelevant. Like I'm doing now. It's just tiring seeing you bring up thing's like financials in every thread regardless of the topic.

 

On topic: No. One has USA for now, and Japan is a wash. Europe isn't quite big enough to carry the load.


Okay, I get it. How old are we, 3?

I think it kind of depends on the bump that MCC gives to the XBox One and Smash Bros gives to the WiiU. I don't think that LBP3 will be significant enough for it to outsell the WiiU and Xbox One combined for the next week (maybe even couple of weeks).

I'm leaning more towards early January for it to officially have 50% though late December wouldn't surprise me at all either.


I don't think anyone is expecting LBP3 to do the lifting here. It'll be all on thirdparties. GTAV, Far Cry 4, Dragon Age etc.

I'm doubting that it can do it in '14 as well, but the PS4 keeps on smashing expectations, and the gap of 650k is really small in the big picture, it's one week of holiday sales.

BF week will be very important if it is to do it in 2014.

BF will definitely set the tone. That TLOU/GTAV combo is tempting for me and I can't even afford it at the moment


At the moment no, but the 28th you will



It is so close and by the time it does happen, we'll be two weeks past that point with numbers for confirmation. I'll guess second week of Jan. will be the tipping point that makes 50% for PlayStation. I believe this to be a safe prediction.

If I go with a gut feeling I have then I would predict this will occur the third week of Dec..



look like 70% lifetime as things are now

No. I can guarantee you that the PS4 will never ever get 70% marketshare. That means it'll have to outsell Wii U+XBO x2, plus some more.

Hold on.... so you have no idea what good it will do a company bleeding money if they are the best selling platform in the console gaming industry by a very large margin? Are you even making sense?
