Are you seriously expecting the ps4 to drop like a rock in 2016 because "everyone who wanted one" already has it, like you said.  What's the logic behind that conclusion.

Comparing to the 3ds doesn't make any sense for obvious reasons

I never said drop like a rock so stop making things up. I said that 2015 could be it's peak year. That means even if it sells 17.3million this year (which is still insane) it would still be less than 2015. You childish fanboys really lose the plot sometimes.

I would advise against personal insults. 

Now OT: What leads you to think it will sell less, when...

A. It's the first full year it will be below its launch price.

B. Two of its biggest IPs are releasing titles this year.

C. It hasn't even hit $299.99 yet (a historic sweet spot for PlayStation).

Holiday 2016 it will be down because the price cut happened this year.

Uncharted releases early next year which will help early next year but what will save it holiday next year? I can't think of anything big enough from Sony that can compete with a initial price cut. His Pokemon and 3ds comparison made tons of sense, Pokemon wasn't big enough to beat a price cut so why would anything Sony pulls out be big enough?

How is 299.99 Sonys sweet spot? Didnt ps1 and ps2 launch at 299.99? Correct me if I'm wrong. If so then obviously majority of there sells came from below that point. Sounds more like Sony fan hope.

For the record though I do agree it will peak next year simply because non holiday 2016 should be stronger than non holiday 2015. I'm thinking around 18m next year and decline from here on out. Ps vr will simply not do much commercially outside of Sony fans simply because Sony has a history of not doing very well with peripherals. Move and PS eye say hello Sony fans. Honestly the playstation brand hasn't done much outside of home consoles.
