so essentially lemme summarize the thread: Question: What will happen if next gen starts out the same way as this gen? |
Not a very helpful answer, I'm afraid.
What happened this generation is that, despite the initial assumption that the PS3 would dominate over it's competitors, it's initial sales were low, and the console as a whole was unprofitable. However, due to the very high sales of the PS2, and the high profit margin, the PS division as a whole managed to keep on keepin on until the PS3 had some price cuts and got some good games.
So you are predicting that the PS4 will initially be assumed to dominated over the Wii2 and 720, its initial sales will be low and be unprofitable, but the PS3 will somehow start selling close to PS2 levels, and start earning lots of profit, which will allow the PS4 some breathing space.
Sounds pretty dubious to me.
