| phinch1 said: That's pure bull, how can there be a "massive decline" this gen which has also seen record sales on console launches
Example
PS2 total sales 155 million Xbox total sales 24 million Gamecube total sales 21.74 million
Total sales that gen just over 200 million
PS3 80 million Xbox 80 million Wii 100 million
Total sales 260 million
This gen ps4 and xbone have crushed records of previous launch sales and you still think it's declining??? |
How is it impossible that there's a decline? So if something has experienced growth over time, it is impossible for it to enter a state of decline? That's how markets work, all of them.
The Wii alone sold more than the PS4, One and Wii U combined at this point in time during the first summer with all three out, this is nothing short a clear-cut indicator that we're seeing a market contraction and the front-loaded launches only show that consoles are being more affected by revisionist design philosophy like tablets and phones and the overall market movements in consumer electronics as a market segment.
There will be a decline, to deny that is folly at this point.
