Will the PS4 outsell the XBox One and WiiU?

TBH i see them being a close tie this gen.
also, anyone who thinks that ANY console will reach PS2 or even Wii levels is on crack, heck, I don't even think the 3DS will do that well

It's plausible that a 10 year console can sell 100 million, look at the PSOne sales, I believe the PS4's sales will be in the 95 - 105 million range, with alot of the Xbox 360 users switching over, and in a growing market, it's perfectly plausible. 

of course it is, I'm just saying that it seems unlikely to me.

and i don't really see the whole "growing market" thing, if anything, it's shrinking. and with the rise of dev costs, i can see a lot of studios closing/going bankrupt.  if we are already seeing that happening now (THQ, etc), i can only imagine what is going to happen next gen.

 

BTW, nice Grimmjow pic! XD

I meant consumer wise, this gen has over 240,000,000 consoles sold to date. Last gen had less than 200,000,000. The Wii sold 100,000,000 consoles over 7 years, and the Sony platform will be supported for 10 years, and after a terrible launch they still managed to sell on average 11M consoles a year, now with sales declining and after an inevitable pricecut the PS3 has potential to reach 90,000,000 - 100,000,000 console sales.

 

The PS4 will ultimately fair better than the PS3, simply because of the price advantage it has and all the problems it fixes with the PS3. If the platform is supported for 10 years I strongly believe when it's discontinued over 100,000,000 consoles will be sold.

 

Also, thanks! :3 Kubo bringing Grimmjow back soonish.
