Is this bizarro world? PS3 was doing horrible the first 3 years and is still managed to sell 80M.
PS4 will reach 100M is a no brainer. |
problem with that. The horrible first 3 years were due to problems the PS4 doesn't have. The PS3 shot up because the issues it had were resolves so people bought it. Those issues do not exist on the PS4 and the numbers are bad.
I also don't get why people are saying the PS4 will be on the market for 10 years. With the way technilogy is progressing, you'd think generations would just keep getting shorter (until it reaches pretty much the critical point) to keep up with the rate of technology. Either that, make upgradable systems.

PS4 numbers are bad? the fastest selling Playstation console? Numbers are ok for being the summer and having no new big games.
Bad compared to the original Wii maybe but that was a phenomenon.

I edited my last post and added more, I think you should take a look. I mentioned how people are looking at what it sold at the star and not what it is doing now. And I wasn't just comparing it to the Wii, I was comparing it to any console that sold over 100m.

Do you have the numbers for Playstation 1 and 2 first summer? Even with all the new competition consoles face today PS4 numbers for the summer are normal, big games coming from september on and it will continue in 2015.
I'm not sure what determines the long of a generation, maybe it ends when one of the big dogs releases new hardware like MS did with the 360 (PS2 gen was quite short) but then again Wi U didn't force anybody, neither did the Dreamcast (maybe cause they are underpowered in comparison). PS4 may last 5 years or 8 years, competition will determine that.
