SONY PS4 and FUTURE Prediction Timeline

[KBG29]

Great thread OP. I totally agree with Sony having to make the PS brand competetive across all forums of computing. This is why PlayStation Vue and Project Morpheus are major.

Vue is going to bring in a huge wave of casuals who are comfortable with TV as it is, but want more convenince, lower prices, and more options. To all the people saying PS4 won't sell 140M, again, there are over 200M cable boxes in the US, and over 400M world wide. Once Vue is available across the US, and Sony allows us to stream to 3 of them at a time, PS4 sales are going to make every console before it look like a niche product.

Project Morpheus is going to be a major expansion product for the PS brand. Morpheus is being sold to gamers as a games first device, but in business, morpheus is the new frontier of how we interact and view things in the digital world. Movie studios, the music industry, Nasa, Museums, productivity software developers, art institutes, sports, TV, and so many more industries are being worked with to bring the next generation of computing to VR. This is the first revolution in gaming and entertainment in decades. Wii showed what can happen with a mere gimik in gesture based controls, Morpheus and other VR along with real motion controls are going to make Wii look like a blip in the radar, and it is not going to die off. Morpheus will sell like crazy this gen, but next gen will be the PS2 like performance where everything is put together in a package that can stand the test of time.

I think the one last thing Sony has to do, that was not mentioned in the OP, is revamp the PlayStation Mobile side of the PS brand. Once PlayStation Network is ironed out, PS Vue is nation wide, PS Now has PS1, PS2, PS3, PSP, and PS Vita titles available, then it is time for the 3rd gen PS Mobile. If they have things working flawless, then every one of the 100M++ PS4 users should have no problem jumping over to PS Mobile devices. This will give them a solid footing in home and mobile, and help them continue to grow into the 2020s.
