Honestly its not about what makes me feel good or whatever. I am trying to be as objective and as analytical as possible. I just think November results (from what has been established so far) may be the begining of a decline in consoles all together and that MS are in a stronger position to weather such a reduction in gaming/ console business - and Sony really should have had a better performance because of all the 3 said combined factors. I am a little concerned about your statment about fanning the flames so to speak. that is not my intention. It makes it sound like people's well being are at stake here. Its only a topic forum for people to voice their opinions which is what I am doing. Its not so much about the past or even the present success - its about extrapolating into the future based on whatever developments/ info we have at hand. |
I think you might be clutching at straws a little too early.
Even the NPD guy said, if you look at last years releases, and then this year, there is no comparrison, and I would agree. Not been excited by this years releases at all. Yeah I've bought them all and think its been an ok year, but it was no 2015, with a new Fallout etc. I think the biggest problem is that its been a bit of a boring year for releases and some supposed big hitters turned out disappointing, such as No mans Sky.
Next year looks like it could be the best year ever, what with Sony really hitting its stride and a new Red Dead Redemption hopefully, that will push hardware massively. I think things will look up next year. Thats how sales work with consoles sometimes, they need games to push the consoles. Lets wait and see if next year is bad before we rush to any conclusions.
