Guys stop.
PS4 is already at +50% of market.
XBO is confirmed overtracked by 500,000.


When was this confirmed.  I must have missed it. 

2K.

"PS4+XBO sold 29,000,000 in 2014!"

PS4 is confirmed at 18,500,000...

29,000,000 - 18,500,000 = 10,500,000

And seem correct to the Microsoft shipment.

 

Sony sold 18,500,000 PS4, and have ship 19,900,000... 1,400,000 in magazine.

Considery that usually MS ship more than Sony, and MS have soooooooooooooo many XBO in magazine seem correct to say that the XBO in magazine are more or at least equal to PS4...

So, if Sony have 1,400,000 PS4 in magazine, and MS have shipped around 12,000,000 XBO in 2014, we have 10,500,000/10,600,000 XBO sold...

 

This numbers are waaaaaaaaaaaay more realistic than the 11,000,000 ioi estimate!!!

Fair enough.  I mean, when I saw Project Cars appear on the charts I knew for a fact that the numbers were wrong, but I have a solution.   Instead of saying "Xbox One sold 12 million" the title should be "We estimate the Xbox One's sales to be 12 million"

I don't think anything will change. The PS4 was destined to get all games before it launched already, and you can't go up from there. Microsoft will still be able to buy timed exclusivity, even after the PS4 has reached 55%. Perhaps Sony will make even fewer games than they already do, because it's not like they will have to make an effort.

Dont agree. They have to compete with PC more and more so AAA exclusives are one of the best reasons to buy a weaker console over PC

Why on earth are you now suddenly claiming that consoles need to compete with PC's in terms of AAA games?, that makes no sense because you guys all the time say that PC's and consoles aren't the same and don't need to be lumped in together and now suddenly you're doing just that.

Could you stop being hypocritial for just a moment to realise how silly that sounds.


They are not the same, however the games are the same these days except for first party exclusives. And i was talking in sonys mindset why its logical for them to make and pushing for exclusives



Sony will rule with an iron fist, execute Microsoft and make Nintendo its joker, muahahahaha!

It's probably already at 50%.

that was a bit harsh lol.



Dominance has a good chance of breeding arrogance; something that should not be wish upon any console maker. Cheering dominance for your console of choice is like eating fast food many times a month; it makes you feel good, but it isn't necessarily good for you in the long haul.

They aren't the same, but they get more similar each generation.

Nowadays most non-exclusive games are announced for PS+Xbox+PC, that wasn't the case a few years ago. Back then, PS+Xbox versions were announced and the PC version was stealth released half a year or even several years later (or not at all). A few former PC exclusives also made the jump to consoles, the game selection between PC, Xbox and Playstation gets more similar each year.

The price difference on hardware is still there, but with falling hardware prices, the gap got much smaller. In the '90s and in 2000 you had to pay over 2000 $/€ for a decent gaming PC, in 2005 between 1500 - 2000 $/€, in 2010 between 1000 - 1500 $/€ and now we are at 700 - 1200 $/€ for a nice gaming PC with no additional subscription costs to play online.

The "convenience gap" between consoles and PCs also shrank a lot in the last years. PC gaming got more convenient with auto-updates for drivers and games and automatic savegame-backups. Game setups got also a lot easier with tools like Nvidia Experience... you still can adjust many sliders yourself if you want, but you don't have to. Most PC games work well with gamepads, you have free choice which input device you prefer. Meanwhile console games inherited PC annoyances like broken game releases, huge day1-patches and mandatory HDD-installs... but they also got automatic savegame-backups in "the cloud".

There used to be that theory that ones a console hits 50% market share it sales explode. I remember the Source always talking about it.


Guess time will tell on whether that legend is true or not.
