| JWeinCom said: It's rather unlikely that the PS4 will be up YOY. This year saw a hardware revision, price cuts and bundles, a major new peripheral, and an entirely new model. Software lineup for 2017 is more or less similar to 2016. Red Dead is the only thing that's bigger than the stuff they had last year. With all that in mind, sales were essentially flat. |
Third Party underperformed this year, Call of Duty, Watch Dogs 2, Titanfall 2... Third Party and First Party is going to be much bigger next year. You say the lineup is going to similair... but what Title did Sony have for Holiday 2016? The Last Guaridan, can't think of any other exclusive and that's certainly not a system seller.
Horizon, Gran Turismo, Uncharted: Lost Legacy and maybe God of War, along with a cheaper price and the first real deals on Pro consoles and a stronger year for Third Party is going to be the key for increasing YoY in 2017.
Activision won't allow Call of Duty to underperform again, they'll be throwing everything they've got at this years release.
