Forums - Gaming Discussion - The Future of Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo?

 

I see four possible scenarios: 

1. Ps4 neo sells well and Sony's success continues.

2. The masses decide to skip ps4 neo in favor of the more powerful Xbox Scorpio and the Xbox Scorpio go on to outsell the ps4 neo until ps5 comes out.

3. Microsoft gets tired of sony outselling them and purchases Square-Enix (Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Kingdom Hearts) and Electronic Arts (Fifa, Madden, Mass Effect, Battlefield, Star Wars) effectively ending the console wars.

4. The Nintendo NX amazes everyone and goes on to sell 200 millions units in 10 years.

Microsoft outselling Sony? Are you drunk?

Imo Scorpio won't suceed, simply because the Neo provides a cheaper and better experience. And the NX will have a great start, but it's sales will drop within a year and third parties will leave Nintendo again because their games don't sell well on Nintendo consoles.



Microsoft purchasing Square...............? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL, the 2nd is unlikely as well. 4th is borderline impossible, they won't get 3rd parties and most people don't buy consoles for exclusives, they're bought for multiplats with the OG Wii being the exception. The only likely scenarios are the sales are close regardless of who leads or Sony keeps dominating. The latter seems the most realistic.

With Nintendo I think they are going to make a fortune off smartphone games, so much so that NX will almost be like a bonus to them.



Why make it so easy? 1 is the only choice that's not 100% impossible.

NX will sell N64 levels, PS4 will stay on top, Scorpio will be met with mild success

I like scenario 3



Sony will continue outselling all easily. NX will be slightly more successful than wiiu and Scorpio will do a bit better then xb1 due to the extra power, but since Sony will have close to 70mil ps4s sold by next holiday, most third parties will continue to put most of their eggs in sony's basket.




Lol people need to have a better grip with reality.

Obviously number four is the only realistic possibility from this thread

12/22/2016- Made a bet with Ganoncrotch that the first 6 months of 2017 will be worse than 2016. A poll will be made to determine the winner. Loser has to take a picture of them imitating their profile picture.

PS4 Neo will come down in price, replacing the original model at some point. Games won't have any big improvements, just run better.

Scorpio will get the best looking multi plats, but is too late to shift momentum. It won't be a Kinect like impulse in sales, too expensive.

NX might actually get some traction when people realize the extra price for Neo and Scorpio is not worth the minor upgrades. NX unhampered by games having to run on old hardware as well can pull out all the stops. It all depends on Nintendo providing the games.

Sony launches the ps5 in 2020.
MS buys an NFL team and launches its own windows 10 sports hub.
