Many, many successful markets have stayed virtually the same over time. I don't foresee Sony and Microsoft running into lifetime sales for the PS4 and 720 that are greatly reduced from the PS3 and 360. Nintendo will, yes, but that's because the Wii was an outlier, with Nintendo's realistic baseline for home consoles being much lower. The PS2 grew the market by a ton and this generation followed up on that. I think home consoles are as mainstream as they can be, now. The growth will be elsewhere (with possible bubble bursts). I think the home console market will be fine through next gen. |
It's the curse of modern business. Growth is assumed. Slow growth means trouble. Stagnation means death, shrinkage means you've already been buried.
Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
