The numbers are really interesting. But i think we will see PS4 slow down in the weeks coming given its general lack of appeal to casuals/new audiences. The wii should edge it out over the next few weeks.

Still what an amazing achievement by Sony. I dont think i can stress this enough. I really dont think anyone saw this coming....

The good thing about momentum is that once you got it you can build on it and keep it going for years! So i doesnt matter whose buying the PS4 right now (hardcore sony loyalist fans etc.) the fact that PS4 is all the buzz is the main thing. Looking at the US numbers this week...crazy. Seriously did anyone see it coming a year ago?

I think a lot of people thought Xbox would grow its marketshare this generation...but that certainly hasnt happend.

You don't think anyone saw this coming? I have been predicting pretty much accurate results ever since the announcements of both consoles after March. My estimates have not changed even a bit, and every other day, they are closer to the reality. Check this thread, which I had formalized on August 31, although had those projections at least 3-6 months prior.

You'll see how accurate those estimates will turn out given some more time for the dust to settle. There is no magic to it, other than really understanding the economics of the market, and analyzing it without fanboy wishful mindset.
