Then why aren't you mad people are still buying PS3s and 360s? Surely those will hurt next gen sales.


Flaw with your logic - The Ps4 and Xbone are not out yet. The Vita and Wii U are. 

The difference is, the Ps4 and Xbone likely won't suffer from struggles like the Wii U and Vita have for the past year. 


No flaw with my logic at all. I'd imagine someone that buys a PS3 or Xbox in November won't be in any hurry to buy a PS4 or X1 anytime soon. I know the latter are not likely to struggle like Wii U and Vita, but PS360 will still take sales from them nonetheless, which is what I thought was the point.

No, that wasn't my point. Yes, you are correct that the 360 and Ps3 will take sales away. I wanted to focus, however, on the struggling consoles like the Wii U and Vita. And also, while new games game out for Ps3 and 360 this year (big exclusive and multiplatform games) when was the last big game on the PSP or Wii? There isn't a great reason to be buying those consoles these days, and it just hurts the struggling successors. 

Well I didn't mean to derail the thread, but I see your point. Also, you kind of answered your own question with a couple of threads from a few weeks ago:

Now I know you bought yours used from a friend, but the idea here is that you picked up a supercheap console that you never owned to pick up some games that you always wanted to try and are now at a price you're willing to spend on.

True. Although I bought mine used because it's still like $100 new in stores (which are the only numbers tracked) I guess if people wanted them new it's STILL cheaper than the Wii U. Still though, it's almost equalling the Wii U in the states. That's unheard of!!!
