The Wii has nothing to do with anything.  Facts are facts,  the leading console has never stagnated in its second year.  To say the lesser popular console will gain 50 percent gap back is foolish.  What countries will the sales come from? 

Ps4  was made with price cuts in mind. No console has ever gone longer then year two without a price drop, ps4 won't be any different. Sony has even said growing install base is more important. 

 

What you are predicting is not possible. 

How is predicting that a console will be at 33 million sold 26 months into the generation "not Possible"?  If you would have asked almost anybody 2 years ago to guess the sold #'s of the PS4 at 26 months, most would have said 25 million would have been successful.  

I am not suggesting that the PS4 stagnates.  I am suggesting that it continues to overperform.  You are the one suggesting that there is no end to a products growth.  If you think so, call Apple and ask about the Ipad sales or Samsung and see how the Galaxy S5 is selling.  There are no absolutes in electronics.

I did not say that the Gap will decrease between the PS4 and XB1, I said that it will increase.  It just won't increase at the same rate as last year.  If the XB1 and PS4 have similar sales in the US/UK total for 2015, then the increasing gap has to slow down considerably.  M$ has shown that they are willing and able to do that.


You don't even understand your own post,  your prediction means the gap this year will decrease 50 percent compared to last year,  and that ps4 will grow At a drastically lower rate then x1. Nit only is that asinine,  it would break every historic president. Ps4 only ends at 33 million,  it would be a terrible year.  It's ridiculous.
