Generation 8 Totals:
PS4: 85-95m
X1: 65-75m
WiiU: 40-50


Why do people believe that a console like PS4, tracking ahead of all competition and even its predecessors, with 60% sales share will end selling worse than all other PS consoles? I don't get the logic in "outselling its predecessors means selling less than them LT".

Despite that, it still includes Wii U beasting to 50M and X1 regaining lost ground.


Because of my FIRST sentence.. This will not be a 8+ year generation.  I believe it will only be 5 years..  so that takes away 3-4 years of sales...  I still have the PS4 outselling the PS3 in 5 years span..    The X1 was ahead of the X360 in its first 6 months.. being way more expensive and in way less countries..  so I still see it doing decent in the long term.. with the price drop especially.  

But it all comes down to a shorter lifespan for this generation.


I really don't know why you think this generation will be shorter then last generation


I agree with him. The difference being that this generation started with underpowered consoles. The ps360 were pretty top of the line upon release. There's nothing cutting edge this time around. They are average, and will last as such.
