Wiiu: 12-20 million
X1: 50-80 million
Ps4: 70-100 million


- You're being too generous to the Xbox. Now imagine, their performance is dreadful in Europe, think 3 to 1 at best! Then they don't even exist in Japan. Also They're even losing in North America. If you think they will relapse, think again! There is no chance a more expensive console will win in NA, never gonna happen. Given all that you still expect XB1 to sell roughly 3/4 of PS4? TOO OPTIMISTIC. XB1 is very lucky if it can sell only half as many!

- You are too mean to Wii. They have never sold this little. Even their worst console, Gamecube sold 22 million in less than 5 years. We're talking about a 7 year long generation here, and their biggest hits haven't even come around. Also the market is a lot larger now.

- Finally, you're too pessimistic about PS4. Given that as an expensive, 1 year late console, which was set back by bad media press and developing nightmares was able to sell 80+ million in 7 years, don't you think a dream console in every meaning of the word, will sell a lot more than that. I promise you, it will sell at the very least 20% more than its predecessor, around 100+ million even if the market would end up shrinking. Most people are dubious about its popularity over the Wii legacy, but Wii was a storn trooper, it became massivle popular for 3-4 years to dramatically fall off the cliff all of a sudden. PS4 may never be that runaway success, but at the end of the day, it will have sold much more than that due to long term success.


As far as x1 and ps4, it's just how I feel, but the wiiu to me, will in no way, last 7 years. I don't think any of them will, but the wiiu won't even get close. I think it's gone in 4. The ps4 and x1 may last that long or longer, but maybe less too. Who knows. With the x1, I think ms will make things happen to improve its marketability. Drop the price is the easy one, but I think if they make the kinect(I hate kinect) optional, and drop the price, I think the x1 can most DEFINATELY change it's current trends... But, of course, this is all just guess work and speculation.
