I'm not going to do a serious analysis of the figures given we don't have numbers updated to the end of the year yet and I don't have time, but roughly speaking- the PS2 had shipped 32.8m by the end of it's 4th year in NA, we will probably have the PS4 close to maybe 24.5-25m sell through by that timeframe, so it's around a 7-7.5m difference, sell through to shipped. Either way it looks like its significantly behind. Anyone else with more time on their hands feel free to interject if I've got this completely wrong. |
you doing it wrong the second you start comparing across generations like that. so many different factors can slant your results.
The Xbox brand as a whole is significantly much better competition in NA to the PS4 than it was to the PS2.
you should also compare it to how it's faring against it's last console. Which in this case is the PS3.
The 360 dominated NA last gen. for MS to be losing NA to the PS4 this gen is all the win Sony needs in NA. Well that and for it to do better than whatever the PS3 did over there.
