I got bored of pretending to be Deskpro23 so I decided to make a little thread discussing Gen 7's software sales. Specifically, I would like to focus on how PS3's software sales have eclipsed Wii's numbers over the past year, and made somewhat of a gain on X360's, as shown below:
2014 Global Sales as shown in table below
2015 Global Sales (as of November 28th, 2015) as shown in table below
The increases each system has made in software since last year (which are shown in the pictures, but I'll make them more obvious so this OP isn't as bare) are as follows:
PS3: 49,245,138
X360: 35,414,163
Wii: 14,936,725
If anyone cares about going as far back as 2013 here are the numbers
What do you think? Will PS3 be able to make up a 23,000,000 deficit in software sales? If so, how long will it take? Will it even sell that many games before it gets retired? Discuss
*Things you might consider:
-Whether or not any Western AAA releases will be cross-gen. Will the next CoD be next-gen only? Or will they bite the bullet like MKX and Dying Light?
-There are some "biggish" games coming out on PS3 in some parts of the world. Star Ocean 5 and Persona 5. Other prospects look shitty.
-Perhaps in poor countries they may decide to keep their PS3s and play FIFA. Or maybe they're still on PS2 idk
