| Shadow1980 said: The OP is wrong. It's always about price, games, marketing, regional variations in buying habits, duration of support, and release timing. This nebulous concept of "hype" cannot be quantified or analyzed and is therefore utterly worthless as a topic of discussion when it comes to talking about why systems sell what they do. Generally speaking, gamers will go to the platform that offers the overall best value, though Europe skews heavily towards PlayStation and Japan skews away from Western hardware and software. I have an article on this very subject that I hope to have done within the next few weeks. |
To say it's selling "only" on hype is indeed wrong and a often a way to downplay the sales. The PS4 was the console to gather all these good factors, hype was only one among others
Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:
PS4: 17m XB1: 10m WiiU: 10m Vita: 10m
