Welfare on 22 July 2016

People have really been overestimating the PS4, I think many expect it to sell really great just because the competition is doing poorly, the fact that it isn't selling faster with said poor competition is actually cause for some worry, it would seem that consoles overall have lost some of their zest. It was inevitable though, there were always quite a few fringe customers buying consoles, these are now situated in convenience gaming markets, for the most part. |
I agree on that 5.5m. We'll have a ceiling soon (shipments) but I'd say at the end of June the PS4 is somewhat above 41.1m, and probably below 41.4m right now.
Won bet with t3mporary_126 - I correctly predicted that the Wii U's LTD at the end of 2014 would be closer to 9 million than 10 million. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6673287
