And i really think the following gen is even going to get better, if you think about it then it kinda has the right setup to it.

Sony wants to keep momentum going and let that momentum overflow into nextgen while still partly keeping it in the current and you can expect Microsoft to do everything they can to go back to the xbox360 popularity and to do that they need to get a lot more competitive with Sony on the exclusives and we have seen them prepare for it in the recent years or at least we can say that we have seen the signs for it.

Sony should also predict Microsoft competitiveness for next gen so it can be a possibility they also try to boost exclusives.

And Nintendo is a case on its own competitors wise and does not really have to share its market with the other ones as it has such a coexisting nature with its exclusives and focus/audience but now with the switch they on themselves are also in an uprising again and i am expecting them to boost and hype it even more with an upcoming new switch model.

Hey,

vgchartz got quoted by the german site computerbase.de. They were posting an article about how the PS4 took over the PS3. However, they were unsure if those numbers are shipped or sold to customers. I already told them in the forums that numbers from vgc are always sold to customers. But it would be nice if I could get some mod or admin or something to confirm that, because I couldn't quite find a source for my claim.

Thanks in advance!

And in case anybody wants to know, here is the link to the article: https://www.computerbase.de/2018-12/ps4-haeufiger-verkauft-playstation-3-meistverkauftes-spiel/

edit: Ok, I got it. In the platform totals it says "all figures are total shipments from manufacturers"

Weird. I always thought vgc numbers were sold-through. But maybe that's only true for the weekly numbers? Hell, I've been here for years and don't know that stuff, fuck me. =D

My estimation for the last weeks of this Q3 2018.

I don't feel accurate enough yet to pretend to have realistic predictions.

I think with Smash and Pokemon there's a high chance sales will be even higher, maybe even knocking on the 2M ceiling on week 51
