As long as it still outsells the PS4/720, which looks probable, sure.


How on earth does that look probable? How few consoles total do you actually expect to be sold in the 8th gen? 100 million? Even less?

OT: Personally, I don't care how much or little any of the consoles sell but I don't think that Nintendo themselves would or should be happy with sales like that, especially since they're not profitable on the hardware from launch, a smaller installed base also means severely diminshed income from software and licensing and royalties. If the Wii U ends up selling only 30-35% of the Wii, that would be a really long fall, even bigger than the PS3 - PS2, where it will likely end up around 60% or so.


I think it's possible the 8th gen could sell less than 100 million. PS3/360 will keep selling many units for years and a lot of games for the PS4/720 will also be released on PS3/360. For example I reckon fifa 14,15,16 and 17 will all have PS360 versions.
