As you pointed out the Wii was also ahead of the PS2, but which console had the longer life and eventually sold more? Oh yeah, it was the PS2. Even you can't definitively say that the PS4 won't outsell the Wii lifetime. It wouldn't be a surprise if the PS4 has a longer life than the Wii and because of that, ends up selling more. We'll just have to wait and see. Also, for the 8th gen home consoles, only Nintendo as of this point has a reason to be worried because they're the only ones that have experienced a decline. |
And the 360 will have a longer life than One due to Kinect boost. They all have a reason to be worried lol, Sony had to pull the plug on handhelds lol. How is that not a decline? Micro will certainly sell less home consoles this gen, why do we not even know how much the One has even shipped? Yet they had no problem letting us know during the 360 heyday lol. They all have something to worry about because there is no excuse for the PS4 and XB1 to not be signicantly shitting on PS2/xbox. That means there is a lack of growth in a market which isnt very big to begin with. This gen could even sell less hardware from just 7th gen ps/xbox to 8th gen ps/xbox. So far everything points to PS2/Xbox > PS3/360, that trend could continue with no reason at all besides a stagnant or declining market. Why do you think Ninty is so obsessed with expanding the market? If the market wasnt so niche, big players like Apple and Samsung wouldnt laugh at the idea of making a dedicated home console.
