is it just a round of jokes for you today...?

it may have sneaked this week after a 7 week losing streak I think you meant to say.

 

As if vgchartz tracking methods are even remotely accurate enough to call the last 2 weeks an actual win for the X1 and not a statistical tie, especially since GFK charts of the last 2 weeks already looked like the PS4 might have been on top.

PS4's performance is just great. Happy Driveclub is doing well too, it deserves it.

Having 2 more games in the charts than X1 is hardly "domination".

nobody said that

but consoles this gen will sell tens of millions less than last gen, worldwide combined. you disagree?

Nintendo are doing worse than last gen but both Sony and MS are doing better. I don't see a reduction in console sales (at the moment), all I see is a shift in market share.

There is almost no chance that PS4 + xb one pick up the slack left by Wii U falling so far short of Wii. And xb one tracking ahead of 360 at present means nothing long term. PS4 and Xb one are splitting a market of around 150-160 million. The vast majority of Wii owners have moved on and won't be buying a console this gen. The question is whether they can be tempted back next gen.

adn yet PS4 will be higher than PS3, yet the xbone and WiiU will be lower than there predecessors, you disagree?

No I dont disagree....  but you do agree that this gen will be 10's of millions lower, yes?


obviously, considering the market that the Wii captured is long gone and moved on to apple and andriod devices.

maybe... but is that domination?  of course not.  its hyperbole and bullshit.

No it's not domination of course, I kinda think he was saying that as a joke anyway, sort of a running gag that he repeats every week.

Incredible.

So break it down for me....

You have 270m colsoles to divide up between the PS4, Xbox One and WiiU

Go!

 

I just think it's far too early to call, that's all. Are you always this aggressive?

Nothign aggressive about that post.  You must feel cornered after thinking about what you said... I apologise.

But if you really think its too early to call?

I say no it isnt.

The WiiU will sell 15 to 20m, 25m tops. i think we all agree about this.

You think the PS4 and ONE combined can do 250m?

Come on...

For all we know the PS4 could reach PS2 numbers and the XB1 could sell as many if not more than the 360. Even the Wiiu could start selling better. We just don't know what moves any of the console manufacturers have in the next few years. I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just saying I only see a shift in market share (at the moment). I would say you have a really good chance of being right but there is also a possibility you could be wrong too. You just state it as if 'there is no chance whatsoever'. That's too emphatic for only a year on the market for the XB1 and the PS4. Let's give it another 2 years and then see where we are.
