BOLD PREDICTION: The PS4 will outsell the 3DS+Wii U

The thread was made in the end of 2013...

3DS ( DS successor! ) sales trend was implying a 95-100m selling console and ps4 ( ps3 successor ! ) was just two months old...

Hence, don't be surprised and label all the votes against that as anti-sony!

But that's not true, the 3DS was NEVER predicted or going to sell 100mil, because like the Wii U it wasn't a significant iteration over the DS and because of smartphone. 

So given that all playstation sold at least 90mil like the PS3, and given that the PS4 was set to beat XBO given the scrupious E3 announcements, there was nothing surprising.

Then again, it's about the result not being mitigated, or fifty-fifty but majorly against the logic or reality, even the comments so...

Comments? You mean some aggressive ones ? i think it's more because of the  of predictor not the prediction itself.   You  joined vgc in 2017...

3DS had no impact from smartphones between 2011-2013 ( 15m 2011, 15m 2012, 13m 2013 ) it sold-in 43m in three years, ps4 shipped 48m in three years!

It would not be irrational to predict 95m+ for 3DS in 2013 and even predict that alone could outsell PS4 which was just two months old when thread was made.

Anyway, premature prediction threads is the problem,  I wish I had never participated in any in my early lifetime here ( Barkley heh ) .

( Mostly because of my once utter immaturity and lack of knowledge about sales in the beginning )
