PS4 sells the most, Switch easily outsells the Wii U but won't come close to the PS4, Xbox One won't get much help from Scorpio at all and ends up fighting to keep the Switch below it, which it may or not succeed in doing. Japan is settled too, Switch should easily sell the most there, I won't be the least bit surprised if and when the Switch doubles the PS4's lifetime sales there. Battle for second place is somewhat interesting, but it becomes more or less irrelevant once you realize that these two machines have entirely different demographics and the stakes aren't really there. Switch won't affect the PS4/One much at all and vice versa, so this might be a fairly boring few years we have ahead of us. The numbers in themselves are more interesting, if only we got them on a regular basis and they were anywhere near correct, we don't need another 40-50% margin of error this year like we did at the beginning of 2016. |
I really doubt that that will happen. PS4 will end with 10-12 million, doubling that would mean 3DS numbers and the Japanese market is just not big enough for that anymore.
