It's because ur numbers make absolutely no sense, im not saying that to be mean its just the truth. U expect PS4 to sell less than 5 million next year when it has sold over 14 million in both 2014 & 2015, it simply makes no sense. Maybe it would help if u explained why u think sales will be so low for it.

Why do you expect the PS4 sales to decrease over 60% year on year???

Around the Network

PS4 51M
X1 27M
Wii U 15M



I am predicting real numbers and not what VGChartz will have at the end of 2016 (unless they make adjustments).

Xbox One is pretty sure overtracked here on VGChartz by a big margin.
Wii U is overtracked too here on VGChartz but not as much as Xbox One.
And of course PS4 like always undertracked here on VGChartz.

PS4: 56.8M
Xbox One: 25M
Wii U: 14.5M

I have no clue why Playstation 4 sales have been so high thus far.  The only thing I can think of is people who were turned off by the Playstation 3 price who waited for this console.  I just don't see the attraction to a console with only better graphics.  May I be enlightened by the truth one year from today... I really don't get it.  I think the numbers will decline...it's not personal.  

I thought this thread would be fun...

So u personally don't see the appeal to PS4 which makes u think it will sell roughly 1/3 the amount it did this year? It doesn't make sense, this is a site dedicated to tracking game sales with a bunch of tools for us to use to examine the data. Just a friendly suggestion, use these tools and data to make an informed analysis before making predictions.

Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won
