They researched the PS4, and reported that 17 per cent of PS4 owners had never owned the last gen. A completely new consumer who skipped a generation. 32 per cent additionally didn't own a PS3, but owned a 360 or Wii. |
Well PS2 was pretty strong, and released games deep into the 7th gen. Some people also drift in and out of gaming. By the end of one generation they feel a bit gamed out and take a break, before they know it they have skipped a generation and the next next gen is here. I for one stopped video gaming for over 10 years I had a Commodore 64 in the 1980s, then in the late 90's I ransomed my brothers PS1 as collateral for money I loaned him and got hooked back into gaming. I pretty much missed the whole of Nintendo's prime gaming years. If I'd got back into video gaming before PS1 came out I might be a Nintendo fan rather than a PS fan and I might be one of the few who owns a Wii U. Or I might be a bitter Sega fan who converted to Xbox because at least Xbox didn't help to kill off Sega as a hardware maker.
