| dark_gh0st_b0y said: this is indeed going to happen, launch demand won't continue for long, Ps4 and XboxONE are also very expensive hard-core gamers buy the consoles at launch, like they buy hard-core games, I predict Ps3/Xbox360 style of sales trend for Ps4 and XboxONE over the coming years |
If that's so, why has the PS3 sold so little in 2006 and presented an ever growing yearly sales during 4 consecutive years? And something similar happened with X360, which had its sales peak in the 5th year. I think it's the opposite: hardcore consoles sell well during the entire generation while casual / alternative consoles like Wii may have a boost in the first 2 or 3 years but then begin to decay.
