This could build it more with the younger generation. PS4 seems to skew older as it is.. 2.) The PS4 sold SOOO well in its first year.. that sales might slow down heavily going into next year.. The Xbox One will likely stay at $349.. that price point might continue to help boost sales now.. where people were waiting to buy before.. |
1) In my opinion, the opinion of children lost almost all importance since the PS1/2 days because the teens that played on SNES or Genesis are now adults that play. The dad will buy probably only one home console and it will be the one he wants, not his kid. Cattering younger games isn't necessarily good, since it is exactly what lead Nintendo to the disasters of N64, GC and Wii U.
2) I think it's almost impossible to slow down next year. Even the Wii, that was frontloaded, peaked only after 3 years. For PS4: 2016 > 2015 > 2014, at least. 2017 could even beat 2016.
