it's cool to see the RoW increasing console adoption. as important as 'merica is there is very little growth potential. it would be great to see consoles grow genOverGen and that all comes down to RoW. overcoming the collapse of nintendo's consoles genOverGen is a big gap to fill.


I wish this was possible, but it really won't happen. That would require PS4+XBO to do ~280 million (Taking into account that the previous gens are still selling, I see it as possible that they'll sell 13 mill more before they stop completely.).


not sure how you came up with 280M.

Last gen (101.11 + 83.81 + 83.55) - WiiU expected LTD (20M)  = ~248.5M.

ps360 aren't selling another 31.5M.

 

xbone should go on to sell at least 50M.  despite all the bad press it's really only selling poor compared to ps4.   as far as the ps4 is concerned,.. if ps4 has the legs of a traditional playstation console instead of facing the cliff wii ran off than 200M isn't entirely out of the question.  ps2 is in the 160M range and ps4 is selling well above ps2 so far.  it's hard to imagine ps4 having the same kind of legs ps2 had with so many early adopters but maybe..
