I do not understand how the prediction is made that the PS4 will dominate this generation when it has not even been released yet. Having higher specifications does not lead to a console selling more units--if that were the case both the Xbox and the Gamecube would have dominated the PS2. Let us look back to the beginning of the previous generation. The buzz about the PS3 was extraordinarily high, especially with the Cell processor and all that it was supposed to be able to do. None of that positive information led to an explosion of sales did it?

Basically you have no factual evidence to support your claim and yet you say the PS4 will comfortably outsell both the Wii U and the next Xbox.

The next ludicrous prediction was that the PS4 will sell upwards of 150 million units which makes absolutely no sense at all. The console has not even hit store shelves yet and you have no empirical evidence to support this number--it is one you pulled out of thin air. Just because the PS2 sold 150 million does not mean the PS4 will do so. PS2 increased its numbers over the PS, the PS3 however, will not keep that trend alive and I believe that was mainly due to the error in pricing. Now, I do believe that Sony has learned from this earlier blunder and the PS4 will trend slightly higher than the PS3, perhaps a range of 100-110 million sold.

The PS2 was not the best system and yet it still outsold its competition by a large margin. The Wii U is not selling well now, but then neither was the PS3 in its early days and now it is doing pretty well, so this too is no real indicator of success.
