noo one believed me because " consoles are dying " |
saying dedicated gaming devices are dying is obviously hyperbole but just because PS4 is doing great doesnt mean the market hasnt severely contracted.
Wii+DS+PSP+PS3+360 sold over 500 million units of hardware and 4 billion units of software.
Wii U+3DS+Vita+PS4+XBO will sell barely half that.
Wii to Wii U saw an ~85% decline in hardware/software
DS to 3DS saw a ~50% decline in hardware/software
PSP to Vita saw an ~80% decline in hardware/software
360 to XBO may see a 40% decline in hardware/software
PS3 to PS4 may see a 30% increase in hardware/software
1/5 devices seeing growth and an overall market decline of 45% isnt really something to jump for joy about.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
