| Shadow1980 said: The 7th generation is simply dying off at a much more rapid pace than previous gens did. It actually makes sense if you think about it. The 7th generation was so protracted that by time the PS4 & XBO debuted, the PS3 & 360 were probably already getting close to their maximum sales potential. Meanwhile, previous generations saw the NES, the SNES & Genesis, the PS1, and the PS2 all continue selling semi-decent numbers after the next generation started. Those generations averaged five years each instead of 7-8 years, so those more popular systems didn't quite reach their maximum sales potential before the next generation began (plus those systems kept getting games for a long time, which helped sustain them late in life). |
I'd say the PS2 sold a lot more than just semi-decent after the 7th gen launched, with its 50-60 million sold after 7th gen's start
