Why I think Sony are heading for failure with the PlayStation 4

Any ideas how many games they have to sell just to break even?

I remember last year it was like one or a little more than one for the WiiU.  It's probably at least a couple at full price,  plus with the changes in the dollar vs the yen. 

Plus, the most pre ordered game for their new system is BattleField 4, which isn't there game.  Time to short.

Surely BF4 is a great game to have lots of preorders on? They'll sell a year of PS+ with each copy. That's already near 2 games worth of sales, maybe more as they get all the PS+ money directly.

Well, they will only get a part of the BF4, as EA is the publisher.  But hey, it's something.

Ah, that's right they are charging for multi player now with PS+.  I wonder what they are going to do with the 'free games.'  As all the games seem to be digital PS3 games, which will not run on the PS4.

Two seperate versions of PS+?  Anyone know?

It's still the same subscription, so they are just adding the 'free' PS4 games on top of the PS3 and Vita ones. A lot of the early adopters might already have it actually, so BF4 sales won't have equivalent PS+ sales.
