OK: Holiday 2016 it will be down because the price cut happened this year. - Eh, that doesn't mean another can't/won't happen to $299.99 and that price point will continue to keep its numbers up. 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? - Uncharted releases early this year, among other things. The Pokemon talk, I'm not sure that will really apply here. No one has suggested that one game will be enough to keep the system up over 2015. 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. - See point one. 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. - So you think it will peak in 2017? That differs from his point, then (something you're defending). And peripherals are irrelevant (particularly PS Eye/Move, both PS3 accessories), since no one has claimed they will create some magical sales miracle.

So you are hoping for another price cut already lol.
Pokemon wasn't the only game 3ds got that year lol and even it wasn't big enough to fight a price cut. Uncharted is the biggest and isn't even in pokemons league, which still wasn't enough.
PS vr has been mentioned in this thread as a saving grace.
