I belive that, at the end of summer, alot of people will realize that the 8th gen will be in trouble across the board, all three consoles will suffers quite bad sales in the end.

Because summer is such a good time to gage demand. Epecially the first summer after launch when many people are still waiting for price drops and games.

Well, yeah, since we are kind of measuring PS4 against Wii and the numbers it did. We also know Wii was an absolute monster during the holidays so the summer will be crucial for PS4 to show how well it can match or sell ahead of Wii.

But the summer is a notable low point in console sales. I still don't get why everyone thinks that the PS4 needs to sell like the Wii did in it's first few years in order to be considered successful. I think it's more important for the PS4 to make sure it doesn't drop off like the Wii did.
