You are aware Playstion 4 is still selling better than the Playstation 2 in the same timeframe ^^


the Playstation 2 had a good stream of games released for it for almost a decade or more.... (something like 1999-2010)

 

its delusional to think that the PS4 will have anywhere near that long lifetime. the only other system that comes to mind that did would be like the NES. it won't happen. The PS2 is an exception. the reason it sold so well for such a sustained period of time is the fact that it had other somewhat innovative technology connected to it (DVD player), and everyone needed a DVD player at the time

the PS4 does not provide the same universal need. all systems (generally speaking) sell well the first few years, but there is no way the PS4 user base keeps on pace with the PS2, and there is no way that its lifetime is anywhere near as long at the PS2's


The ps2 sold for over 10 years and the ps3 is in it's 10th year and still selling numbers. 

The PS3 was releaesed November 2006. That makes it almost two years away from it's 10th year.
