| KBG29 said: Well I would say Pachter is 50% right based on what Shu has said. Sony has given up on making mobile platforms, so that market went from 80M to 15 -20M to 0. On the other hand, PlayStation 4 should see its sales surpase that of the PS2. By the end of this generation people will have drastically different view about PlayStation and Xbox. PS4 and XBO will end up above 400M units in the end, and the next gen will grow on top of that. These are not gaming devices anymore, they are PC's for the TV, they are Pay TV Boxes, they are the digital hub of the modern home. |
Uh... I'm... huh?
These haven't been just gaming devices since 7th gen. What exactly can the PS4 offer now that my PS3 doesn't have aside from specific titles and a better user interface? All the services are the same so to say that these platforms are offering more now than gaming is absurd. Your prediction is not grounded in reality imo and we have no substantial evidence to make those kinds of claims aside from pure whims. Additionally Sony is positioning itself in and pursuing growth as a service provider. We should see subscriptions and market presence go up disproportionately to hardwale sales.
And as far as Microsoft goes, well... it's as clear as day that they are going to come out with a smaller userbase, not a bigger one. Any analayst can tell you that. We can almost say with certainty that by the end of production, X1 will be absolutely <100 million. That means Sony needs to sell >300 million for your claim to be right and that is not going to happen especially when Vue will be offered on PS3.
The only thing your post needs left is mention of a vita phone and how it will be the second coming of Jesus.
