PS4 starts dominating - outsells WiiU and X1 combined (Read OP, please)

This thread honestly surprises me greatly. I knew PS4 was doing well, but "better than Xbone and WiiU combined"? Didn't see that. I still honestly see the PS4 and Xbone being a lot closer longterm than most are imagining. What we've got now according to VGC is 3.4 milllion to 2.4 million, which is about 70%. I figure that's about where it'll end up comparing PS4 and Xbone.

The next couple years will see the PS4 dominate, but as time goes on and the Xbox gets its heavy hitters (halo, Gears, and TitanFall), you'll see the Xbone's sales rise to almost meet and in some cases exceed the PS4's.

The WiiU is still a pretty unpredictable wild card. I honestly do think it'll pick up and do better than it is now, but at the same time I don't think it has a chance of comparing with the other two. I would be okay with PS4 having a 50% market Share, Xbone having 30%, and WiiU having 20%. That's a lot closer than the PS2's dominance over Xbox and Gamecube, which was a 77% market share vs Microsoft's 12% vs Nintendo's 11%.

So yeah, not as good as Gen 7, which was 38% for Nintendo, and 31% for both Playstation and Xbox.

Alas, I can't wait to see how this generation plays out. I just really, really hope the WiiU doesn't fail so miserably that they drop it early, or I'd have wasted money on it.

But Smash bros will redeem it.

How do you expect x1 sales rise above ps4?? Ps4 will have plenty of heavy hitters as well, works both ways..360 has not otusold ps3 ijn years despite being more expensive, sorry do not see it. 360 had every advantage, and still couldnt do it, x1 surely won't. 

I didn't say that. I said that, in some cases, the Xbox could match or exceed PS4's sales.  As in, there will be weeks and situations where the Xbox does better.  I said very clearly that I Felt the current ratio (Xbox is doing about 70% the business PS4 is doing) is about where it'll end up, which is pretty damn good.  

And to the others, I'm not saying Sony doesn't have heavy hitters or awesome features, I'm just saying that once it's all on the table, the two systems will not be as far apart as many predict.  

That said, I'm still leaning more towards the PS4.  I have a PS4 and WiiU both set up here, and I have absolutely no desire to get an Xbox One, but I still hope it does well, I hope its price drops, I hope it releases awesome games, and I hope they never bring back DRM.  In its current state, I see NO reason to get One.  I hope that changes, and I'm quite confident it will.
