I love your confidence about PS4 sales. We know almost nothing about the PS4, and even less about 720.

There is nothing we know about the PS4 that implies it will sell as well as you think it will.

We know hype sells many things. Have you seen Matrix 2 box-office numbers?

We know Sony knows how to handle system sales and have a great track record.

We know many third parties are on board.

We know the world loves power, and it is powerful.

 

What else do we know ?

 

Yes, the hype from the Matrix 1 (PS2) certainly helped sales of the Matrix 2 (PS3), but it didn't help sales of the Matrix 3 (PS4).

 

You mean after the 'people get get two jobs' and no big games until MGS4 thing? Sure, Sony know a lot about managing consoles, no more than MS or Nintendo.

 

3rd parties were on board with the PS3.

 

The world doesn't give a shit about power, why else would the Wii and PS2 have done so well?
