i dont think their baseline will sink, it will grow if anything, because more people are going to be entering into the new generation. but at the same time, the proportion of people buying a ps4 is going to be lower moving forward than it has been. i mean look at whats been going on, ps4 has had great press and said all the right things while microsoft has pissed everybody off and nintendo's marketing has been in shambles and they mismanaged the wii u tremendously for a year. looking at it this way, there is no way that, with nintendo and microsoft doing much better, that the proportion of people buying a ps4 is going to be better than it was.

I will take the rest of the discussion in this thread.
PS4 with TLOU:R was higher than Wii U with MK8 launch. Just imagine how total the domination will be with stuff like UC, GoW, GT7, NDs other IP. Then there is third party, which will differ, but based on trends so far will benefit the PS4 more than the XBO (of course varying on a title to title basis) The PS4 is the lead console, that's an advantage of its own. The Wii U will peak next year or the year after that, and considering Nintendos terrible hardware legs, sales will diminish quickly after that.
The PS3 even has a 34 % market share, and increasing. That was with a fluke like the Wii, and the Xbox 360 that actually stole a lot of marketshare. Now in the market were 360 got that from (US) the PS4 is outselling it ( by I good margin) every week. Europe is sony land, and US, although not as much so, will also be this gen.

i really really reaaaally think youre overestimating what some of those games are going to do for the ps4. uncharted is a proven series, gran turismo has been proven in the past, but i dont think its going to do anything for pushing consoles. and yes, youre right about ps4 benefitting from third party releases. that is a huge thing sony has going for it, but microsoft is going to have tons of exclusive content, you better believe its coming. seriously. and NEVER doubt the power of halo. thats certainly something i have learned over the past ten years. halo puts to shame basically anything sony has (sales wise). and the big guns nintendo has, they benefit hardware sales over the long haul whereas sony's releases will provide a bump for said week. also, ps4 isnt going to last as long as people think. if people think sony isnt coming out with ps5 until 2020 or later, they're crazy.

I agree with PS5 in 2020/2021, but as Sony consoles have demonstrated in the past, and is demonstrating now, they have legs beyond anything else. Do you live in US? If so then your view on GT is understandable, but in Europe it's huge. Sony will undoubtedly have the midt long lives console, and when you pair that with a great start you get market domination. The Wii only had the good start though, and that's why it didn't do PS2 like numbers (and no, I'm not saying the PS4 will.)
BTW out bets are on.
