I read this exact same article last year and the year before.
Funny how these two new consoles are the best selling ever, and how a major player in these systems (indies) pretty much contradicts the entire article.
(Not to mention steambox is coming out as well, which is almost entirely indie games)
Malstrom was wrong about this 3 years ago, and his not so clever copypasta is just as wrong. |
I mean... not really. Fastest selling... but due to larger supply.
The actual consumer size of the consoles can't really be gauged until it hits the point where neither is out of stock.
So it makes it's sales in relation to this topic a bit irrelevent at the moment.
I mean put it this way... do you think both consoles will outsell the PS2? I sure don't.
Had the PS2 and Wii had similar stock... don't you think they would of sold as well? I Do.

You have a point, time will tell.
However, one point I'd like to make is that the video game industry is bigger than ever. We just only talk about consoles as if they're everything. Video games are thriving on mobile.

Oh yeah, and PC. Just most console gamers don't look past it.
PC games were around during the last crash though too.
To quite a significant degree actually.
That's why activision is still around.
I do think as children get computer literate sooner and sooner and PC ownership increases. Consoles will make less and less sense logically.
Whether or not that ever comes to bare in the markets though who can say.
