Logic?? Let's apply what you just said to reasoning. Both systems just launched after 7-8 years between generations. Demand has been built up over that time and in today's society, people who are big fans of anything Line up and pay whatever to get it right away. That was true to some degree at last gen launchs, but it wasn't as common back then as it is today(look at any iphone launch). Also, look at ebay. A large number of people have learned that there is a lot of money to be made in the purchasing and reselling of the systems. This too creates a crapload of demand from middle men. The biggest factor is the proliferation of the HDTV. Even though the last gen was supposed to be the HD revolution, it didn't really happen that way because there were so many people without HDTVs. Now, the market is sturated with inexpensive HDTVs. This allows people to go next gen with the lateest tech fora lot less. THe Because is say so portion is the part where we have to factor in the Smartphone/Tablet/internet segments. Those areas basically did not exist until the last 3rd of the last gen. The tablet/smartphone market is exploding in both quantity of paroducts/sales and quality/power. You can go buy a tablet today that is more powerful than the PS4 or XB1. It isn't price comparable, but it will be in a few years. |
So after 6 years PS2 there has no demand been building up ? Your prediction right now is based on nothing. If in a few months the sales massively drop of (from PS3/Xbox 360 levels at the same point in time) your prediction would make sense, right now you have nothing to go by. There is no reason to believe your prediction will come true, the signs point into the other direction, as all we know is that PS4/Xbox One sold way better than PS3/360.
