| GTAexpert said: Lol is this a joke? Its Nintendo who needs to be worried, not Sony or MS. Even with a unified platform Nintendo can't imagine selling half the numbers of next PS and Xbox consoles. I think you need to get a reality check, its obvious you're just posting what you wish to happen, not something that will actually happen. |
Why wouldn't a unified platform be able to sell half of PS/XB consoles?
Week ending Dec 6
PS4-713k
XB1-513k
3DS-515k+Wii U-187k=702k
Year to date 2014
PS4-12.1 million
XB1-6.4 million
3DS-7.5m+Wii U-2.7m=10.2m
In the most recent week and 2014 totals, Nintendo's platforms combined have sold better than XB1 by a decent margin and are just slightly below PS4. Obviously going for a unified platform where the handheld & console share a library could see slightly lower hardware sales do to less incentive for consumers to own both but there will still be people who do. So let's drop it down a little and that still would put it smack dab in the middle of PS4/XB1.
At the correct price point with effective marketing and a strong software output, there is no reason to believe a unified platform from Nintendo couldn't sell competitively with PS/XB.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
