you underestimate how old the previous gen feels and how much better the new is. With the PS4 domminating as it is records will fall if it takes high margins of holiday sales. As i said earlier in Europe records are more likely to fall, NA could be hell of a tough time. Else where i just dont know. |
Well it feels old to me and to you, but I know that it does not feel old to my college friends rocking their PS3's and a couple odd 360's, who play FIFA every year mixed with NBA, a fighting game every once in a while, Battlefield or sometimes CoD, and GTA V which was a phenomenon. They will see all those games in shops this holiday season on their platform of choice.
Those of them who are more into games and know already what is releasing this and next year, are not upgrading as they are waiting for more exclusives (and I can't blame them) or are Japanese games fans and have no reason at all.
Sure those are just a couple of random examples, but that's simply how it looks this year, and I don't see a strong reason why it should change, other than PS4 is selling well, because it's the PS4. Next year is the time when the mainstream gamer will see a commercial on the web or TV, will go to a shop and won't find this awesome looking game available on his PS3, that's when he won't have much choice.
Edit. Not to mention that PS2 pretty much had no competition, Wii was a casual phenomenon, and this time we have the PS4 which will see maybe not as strong Xbone, but definitely stronger competition that PS2 faced, so it will cut into the potential numbers that PS4 might have put.
So it is happening...PS4 preorder.
Greatness Awaits!
