I wont be doing the percentages so yea..
I also don't have a clue how Ninty will do when the others arrive so i will just say this
if PS4 launches at $400 in 2013 then MS wont have a chance in the world to win over Sony.
If Sony AND MS launch at $400 then MS just lost all there chances.
The rumor is that MS's console is more powerful so i expect it to cost more if anything
JAPAN: PS4 at $400 is going to sell better than what the PS3 sold at $600. It will be more consistent aswell. Sony gave MS all this room to do what they wanted when ps3 was $200 more and they didn't really move the needle that much there. I think PS4's numbers will be bigger than PS3's numbers at launch in Japan. They will be closer to what WII U's numbers are. The sales should boom and it should give more japanese devs faith in creating games for the PS home console again. I even think that all the jrpgs on Wii would have sold better if they debuted on PS3 even though ps3 costed more and Wii left ps3 in the dust sales wise.
honestly, Japans absence this gen on consoles is Sony's fault imo. If ps3 BOOMED in the sales department, then the whole japanese gaming scene would be a lot different right now.
PS4 is going to do better than what PS3 did in Japan.
They just need to launch this bitch at an affordable enough price($399) then it should be a better overall gen for the japanese side of things. PS4 wont have this "expensive ass console" image stuck to it like the ps3.
Wii U and PS4 will sell a lot closer than how Wii and PS3 sold to each other. Wii U has the year start over ps4 though so i dont know what to say about that.
European territory: PS4 should also do BETTER in europe than what PS3 did. simply because of the price. more games will sell better early on aswell. I dont see anything that MS could possibly do to be effective here this time around. MS wont have a year start to establish it's name and it's library over the competition, They also wont wont have its main competitor launch a year later at a significantly higher price than it aswell.
PS4 will sell better than what PS3 sold here and the ps4 will have a WIDER gap over 720 than what ps3 had over 360 here
America: I still dont know how Wii U is going to do when the other consoles arrive so yea...
PS4 sales will be a lot closer to 720's than what ps3's sales were to the 360's. 720 wont have a year early start to establish it's library over the competition. everybody IS NOT going to just jump on Xbox Live subscription like they did in the 7th because they will actually have a decent alternative to choose that WONT be $200 higher. PS4'S online should be easily comparable to Xbox Live this time around. It wont be a great online compared to a garbage online with a higher price.
PS4's gap between 720's will be closer than ps3's gap between 360. MS should still stay ahead of Sony here though because they have Halo.
Sony has to launch the PS4 at $400 in 2013 for this to happen though. If PS4 AND MS are both launch at $400 in 2013... Xbox's little reign over PS is over..
I will be making a thread comparing the PS4's 1st 12 week sales to PS3's sales in 2013 when it launches. I think the PS4 will be the only console to do significantly BETTER than what it's successor did out of the big 3
