"Call me when..." is certainly a figure of speech. It can be used more or less any time you are skeptical about a claim someone has made. E.g. "I believe aliens have been abducting humans for expediments." "Yeah? Call me when you wake up with a sore arse from being probed." I don't know about PS2 era just yet. Let's at least see how it does in the slower parts of the year before we go claiming uber domination. Personally I think we're facing a generation with lower sales than last, possibly something closer to 6th gen only with xb one taking more market share than oxb. PS4 100million max with another 100 million or so split between xb one and Wii U is what I reckon. |
Thanks for clearing that up heh, though I would argue that the second the PS4 hits 100m, it will no longer be a figure of speech as the person he was responding to will undoubtedly come back and point it out, thus breaking the non-literal 'call me when'. *chuckle* Splitting hairs though, I know ;)
So far, according to numbers (with regards to the PS2 era), the PS4 has already outsold the PS2's first 4 months on sale (Nov-March 2000). So, in that sense it's even better than the PS2 era. We'll see if they can keep current pace, though, supply appears to be holding it back right now. And I'm certainly not 'calling it' for Sony yet. Sony's made screwups in the past, as Microsoft has done...well, for much of this generation. There's no reason to believe that they aren't capable of messing up their money machine.
