That still doesn't answer the question. Unless you're saying that PS360 will sell anther 40m over the years.

You do know that this gen will never sell as much as last gen? We're lucky if PS4/X1 reach 120m combined.

You're saying that as if its a fact, even though all evidence points against it.

Well there is no evidence that it will keep the trend.

But sanity dictates that a big chunk of people who bought a console last gen will not buy one this gen.

But some other people who didn't buy a console last gen might buy one this gen and many 360 and Wii only owners are now buying PS4. 

Your post makes no sense; you speak about 'sanity', when your own post is insane.

Sure XBone will never sell like 360, which was a better console, and had several advantages VS PS3(better ADs, better hardware=more balanced and friendly to develop for, much cheaper, and released 1 full year before PS3 in Japan and NA and 16 months in Europe).  This time around, PS4 can do better than PS3 because it has a really weaker competition from WiiU and XBone(unlike PS3 which had a so strong competition from 360 and Wii and was so much more expensive for the first 3 years), it launched at a very competitive price, it has the best multiplatform games, better 1st party devs, better ADs VS PS3 era; Sony has got stronger, MS and Nintendo got weaker, this is why I believe PS4 will do better than PS3, considering how much MUCH better they are selling in the 1st year. 2015 line up is amazing, the momentum will continue. My forecast is 100+ M for PS4, and 50+ M for XBone.

All those things you said will not affect the masses of gamers. 

What you and many here on Vgcharts fail to understand is that the things you care about in a console is not what the masses

will care about.

There is something callled early adopters, those people are the hardcore fans generally the first 10 million buyers.

The PS4 has hit that number.

There are about 5 million or so people that want an Xbox One no matter what those people have yet to buy the system.

After the first 10 or 15 milllion or so gamers then comes the masses the people that going to take both the PS4 and Xbox One in

the 100 million of consoles sold territory the early adopters make up for less than 10% of the gaming market.

 

Last gen it was clear multiplatform games ran better on the xbox 360, but did that stop people from buying a ps4

NO why because they didn't care about that stuff.
