June is the only month since the new consoles launched that the WiiU + Xbox One have outsold the PS4 and that was a huge anomaly with the WiiU having it's 3rd best month ever including last november and december.
You're making a prediction for the entire generation based on one easily explainable anomaly. |
But is it an anomaly? Wii U has stabilised to about 60k per week, PS4 has been consistently around 100k per week, and XBO has been around 65k since the price cut.
Given that the big Wii U criticism was lack of a game that would sell the system (and all reports seem to indicate that MK8 is selling the system) and the big criticism of XBO was price (and it got a price cut that saw sales jump by more than 50% and stay steady from there), is there really any reason to think that these aren't now the new baselines?
And if you consider XBO and PS4 to be in direct competition, it makes sense that an improvement of about 30k for XBO would result in a similar drop for PS4 (factor in the summer slowdown, and it makes sense for the numbers to land where they currently are).
Or are you really making a prediction that both the Wii U and XBO sales, which have remained stable for the whole month, are going to drop suddenly for no reason, or that the PS4 sales will suddenly jump for no reason, just because this month is different from last month, despite notable events changing things?

What evidence do you have that either the Xbox One or WiiU have found their new baseline? The WiiU have been at 60K for two weeks and the Xbox One has been at 65K for just one.
The WiiU just had MK8 come out but doesn't have any other big games coming out for some time. The game has been great for the system but that boost won't last much longer.
The Xbox One just got it's kinectless SKU and has had discounts on and off for months. It's likely that the Xbox One will have a higher baseline due to the new SKU but we have no way of knowing it will be 65K. It is also possible though that the new SKU will just end up being another in a long line of failed attempts to boster sales for the Xbox One.

People are desperate, one week fluctuations in a slow period people proclaim it the norm lol. Ps4's success has peeps panic'd.
