Extremely premature to assume any significant external factors are harming the industry at the whole at this point. For handhelds, you may have a point. But the 3DS is selling well and the PSV's low sales can be explained by Sony's relatively weak first party support on the console, diminished Sony presence which helped the PSP, and the lack of some random big game to propel the system ( like Monster Hunter on PSP). These factors would cause any console to have low sales, so what reasoning are you applying to form the conclusion that there's an external factor at work?
Wii U also has its problem. It has one big game that I know of - New Super Mario Bros U and is currently going through a drought of games. Besides, Nintendo consoles have historically been doing worse and worse every gen without any external factors, with the Wii being the only anomaly. And considering the Wii U lacks much of what made the Wii successful, it makes sense that it would mirror the declining sales trend of Nintendo consoles. What reason is there to believe there's an external factor harming the Wii U?
At most, you could argue that there's external factors harming handhelds only (I.e. tablets) and even then only in particular instances looking at the success of the 3DS. |
no seriously guys... you ppl thought vita will sell gangbusters! .... $250 !! with dual stick! its a winner!.. hooraa!
now apply this to how yall reacting to the ps4.. lol its the same thingg!.. $399 and uhm 1080p HD gfx its a winner!.. hooraa!

What is your argument? Anyone predicting success based solely on price and controls is using flawed thinking. You make a lot of assumptions. When did I ever say the Vita would sell gangbusters? And when did I ever say the PS4 would sell gangbusters? Read my post again. I made no predictions on the success of the PS4.
As Kowenicki would say: wind your neck in. |
He's making the age old assumption that everyone who comments on news on a certain console or enjoys the efforts on one particular company are a homogenic, hive-minded bunch of morons with no insight.
Personally, I haven't seen or heard anyone who thought the Vita would sell like gangbusters and the amount of folks who believe that the PS4 will do incredibly well is in the extreme minority. If anything, people are being rather reserved and cautious about predicting anything for the 8th gen, simply because its so hard to predict anything.
Besides, if you (BluGamer23) think that the PS4 is simply 400$ (not even confirmed price, could lower or higher) and "HD grafix" then you understand little enough that maybe you should simply refrain from commenting on anything console related. Your overall tone and language suggest the very same thing.
