Made this thread last year so doing it again. Looks like as a community we overshot the 3DS massively, overshot the WiiU a lot, overshot XB1 and Vita a little and undershot PS4.

Wow 2014 collective wisdom for Xb one was pretty good. Collective wisdom for everything else was shit. PS4 the only console that was massively under predicted. I wonder what it says about the Xb one holiday price cut that the 2014 predictions came in as possibly slightly above actual sales (subject to post financial reporting adjustment of course)? The main bulk of the year was way shittier than people thought it would be and the holiday sale price "saved" Xb one (this is probably it), or the holiday sales were not substantially higher than people thought they would be back in Jan 2014, the year played out more or less as expected and the holiday proice cut really didn't do much (unlikely, as without the holiday price cut Xb one would have tanked, IMO)?
Anyway see my predictions in your quote.
I see PS4 having very good growth, Xb one having reasonable growth, Wii U relatively flat, 3DS and PSV YoY decline.
PS4 easily >50% market share, but not 2:1 vs Xb one.
