ps1 and 2 were also priced for 149 and less for a meaningful duration of its life, ps4 will not be priced below 199 thats another reason why it will not get past 120M and why the 360 and ps3 didnt make past 100M yet


If the PS3 it's pretty close to $200 ($220 right now) with Cell and it's ridiculously over engineering architecture, I don't understand how the PS4 with its modified off-the-shelf parts can't get lower than $200, I could see $100 being a stretch but $150 is easily achievable and much faster than the PS3 gets to $200.

Also while it's true that PS3 and 360 won't make it over 100M each, together they'll get over 180M. If you think PS4 "will barely make it past 100M" then PS4+XONE will barely make it past 150M-160M, do you even realize how insane this suggestion is, specially considering we're getting reports that console gaming is growing pretty much everywhere bar Japan.

I see people repeating this over and over, I've never seen any evidence that supports it though.


gaming was on the uprise then and not just in social media but in actual gameplay mechanics we were introduced to 3d worlds, open worlds, and online play with those introductions we also saw new gamplay mechanics, in the last half of last gen games were becoming copy and paste and repetitive so far with the 2 yrs of this gen no game had the effect that MGS1, RE4 GTA3, gears of war, uncharted and halo ect. did for there time

Are you suggesting that what you're saying here is evidence that gaming isn't as popular as it was during late 90s and early 2000s, because it couldn't be far from it. You're basically just pulling things out of your head and posting them as facts that everyone agrees, even though it goes against actual facts and reports we're getting from everywhere. Also what anything of what you just wrote have to do with popularity.
