One thing which can be agreed by using logic: All 3 consoles won't be able to outsell their predecessor.

Don't get fooled by the initial console hype rush, it won't last as long as you think. So many blind fans here.

Look at:

-What do the new console offer over their predecessor? So far, more graphics.
-Lack of software is really scary, for all big 3. Without software you can't keep your momentum, we will mostly see that with the PS4 and XB1
-Cost: PS3 is half the cost of PS4. Xbox1 is 5 times the price of 360 (when on sale)
-Lack of BC, really it's just another lost opportunity here... BC would have allowed more next-gen console to sell, instead people buy a 360 and PS3 to be able to play GAMES.
-PS4 has no must-have feature. The PS2 had the DVD drive and PS3 had the Blue-Ray which helped a lot to sell.
The X1 has, well, Kinect 2? What's the difference between the 1.0 and 2.0? MS has failed to show the difference and probably going to have underwhelming software support like the original.
-Wii U is just too complicated for the market... and not enough Nintendo software yet. The reason it's not selling as good even if it has more software is because of the lack of hardcore fans, something that is less of a problem for Playstation.

Ready to take bets that no next-gen will outsell their predecessor.

playstation 4  will easily, consider this, ps3 after6-7 years on the market is still selling for 299$. xbone, is to hight at the moment they will need to drop the price by next year.

What games are going to move PS4's.   Uncharted is a solid 6 million seller.   Resistance 3 (1.3 m),Infamous 2 (1.4 m.),God of War Ascention(1.45 m) were all flops.  LBP2 sold 1/2 as good as the first.  Games like Motorstorm 2, MAG, and Socom all flopped.  Sony launched the Vita with their top franchises and it flopped miserably.   If it was'nt for Call of Duty and GTA, PS3 and Xbox 360 would have been massive failures.  GTA6 wont happen for atleast 3 - 4 years, and COD has been declining in popularity and sales since MW3.    Seriously you guys forget that the Wii U had the 2nd best launch ever, and then even Nintendo got burned big time by the lack of games.    There is not one sign that this set of consoles is going to do even close to what the others did.  Launch sales are high because of the massive ammounts of marketing and hype, thats all.

The difference is that those mega franchises will have their best versions on XB1 and PS4 each year.  Within 2 years or so, the mega franchises won't even come to the WiiU.



It is near the end of the end....
