I don't think you understand how E3 works. The idea is, you wow the geeks,media and hard core gamers at E3, and then those people spread the word. This trickles down and has an effect. PS4 was coined the "it" thing after that show by those people which means the majority of people who DON'T watch the show, will now spend the time leading up to launch reading/hearing how it's the next big thing. They then go out and want a PS4.

I see no evidence for that. The fact that 60% of PS4 owners own a Vita means that current PS4 buyers are mostly core Sony fans.

I don't think there's a trickle-down at all. I think it's a massive insular hype vortex between games media and game forum users, who are a tiny subset of all game customers.


There's aren't enough of us for that to be true lol. If we're talking launch numbers, I could agree to a small degree but not now. These numbers are not coming from people like us. They're coming from dude bros and mainstream gamers.
