I do think those predictions are overly optimistic.

The PS4 is likely to sell another 6 to 8 million this year and the X1 another 2 to 3 millions at the current paces assuming a slow summer and better holidays. I really dont see where the optimistic numbers are coming from. It would require gigantic holiday sales, when both systems wont have more than one or two exclusives.

Same reason PS4 set all time record and X1 set Xbox one, people are sick of the last gen and want new toys to play with.  Do you think people want to be Call of Dutying on a 9 year old console or a brand new one, old gen graphics or new shiny ones ?

The hardcore segment minus the more logical, yes. The casuals wont even be able to tell the difference. We are also forgetting these are expensive systems. I am sure many struggle to see the point of the investment when the upgrade is so difficult to see. Quite honestly, the multi generational titles arent doing any favors. With Batman delayed, i really cant see it.

Are people gonna buy these systems for the order and sunset overdrive alone? AC unity might help if it shows enough of an improvement, but i'm guessing Comet will outsell it by alot.
