PS4 will sell more in its first year than PS3 in its peak year

That's not what I said. You are inferring that. All I'm saying is that it seems that the sales have started slowing down, that's a hell of a lot different than peaked lol. 

Actually here in Canada (where I'm from), the prices for the PS4 are far better than the X1, but there are some good X1 bundles with multiple games, but they are usually about $50 more than a comparable PS4 bundle. 

I agree about Europe, not sure about Japan, they seem so handheld-centric. 

Sure patterns are good, grand, wonderful and all, but that doesn't mean there aren't one offs. I'm not trying to be pessemistic, the PS4 has had a great year and next will likely be good as well, I just think it won't be as high, that doesn't mean it will stop selling. 

so you're not saying it's peaked...but you just said next year won't be as high.  Are you optimistic about the 3rd year then?

It's hard to say what will happen in it's third year. Will have to wait and see how it's second goes. If you are speaking about having the highest selling portion within a certain time period, it's possible. I'm waying the likliness of how successful it has been up to this point doesn't necessarily encourage more success the next year. It might as well however. This year the PS4 has mostly sold on hype, empty promises, being known as a powerhouse system and with a good entry level price AND a price cut. This next year much of the hype will be gone, the system is DRM ridden even though they said it wasn't, it has become apparent that the system isn't nearly as powerful as they attempted to say it is, but the price is still good but there is still the pay wall. The third year I think will come down to the library that is offered.
