| DevilRising said: I find that pretty hard to believe. They keep trying to put forth this notion that LOTS of people who never played PS3, are buying PS4. And quite frankly, considering how many PS3s eventually wound up out in the wild, I just don't really buy it. MOST of the people who already own PS4, are people who likely owned PS3. Just like MOST people who own an Xbone, likely owned a 360. Not ALL, but most, for sure. I just don't buy these lofty claims of totally new buyers. |
If I recall correctly that statistic comes from new PSN and XBL subscribers. PSN account cover all PlayStation products so you would only create a new one if you never had a PlayStation device before. Yes its possible that those with PS3's waited till PS4 to make a PSN account, but that is extremely extremely unlikely. You also register your devices on your PSN to tie them to your account, so sony can easily see who got PSN with PS4, and I'm sure XB1 works similarily.
Assuming most people who already own a PS4 have owned a PS3 and similiar is pretty baseless, especially considering last year's PS3 releases and this year's cross releases. There is simply more evidence to the contrary.
