| TheSource said: Adjusting for the five week month in Jan 07 puts PS3 at about what PS2 did in January 2007, and Wii was doing about 350k if you make Jan 07 four weeks instead of five. I think the major problem this generation is an upgrade problem. Blu Ray + Better Graphics +Online + Move eventually made PS3 a pretty massive upgrade over PS2, Kinect + Better Online + Better Graphics eventually made X360 a pretty massive upgrade over Xbox, and Motion Controls + Better Online + you know, an extra 1000 retail games in lieu of better graphics eventually made Wii a massive uprgade over GC. Going from PS3-->PS4, X360-->X1, or Wii-->Wii U is pretty terrible in comparison to upgrading from Xbox, GC, PS2 to 360, Wii, PS3 in their hay day three to six years ago. I think PS3 / X360 didn't become "better" than their predecessors to any substantial portion of their eventual user base until late 2008. I think for PS3, half the PS2 audience still thinks the PS2 is better than PS3, even seven and a quarter years after launch. For Wii U you have a similar problem, 95% of the Wii audience still doesn't see the point in upgrading to Wii U. |
This is the correct answer here.
The sales will most likely start to get worse as the gen goes on also unless something really big happens.
