| merman said: People are going to hate me, but I think 2017. There first party line up in 2018 is insane, as a big first party fan I couldn’t be any more hyped. However this doesn’t always tramslate over to sales. The PS4 has been out 4 strong years now and a lot of people who wanted one have got one. I still think the sales will be amazing, but just be a little off 2017. I can’t make a sales prediction though because we need final 2018 sales first |
really don't understand this line of thinking.... how does anyone know how many people want one? What metric or measure is used to determine this?
For me, I would have thought that we look at the combined total console sales from the last gen then that will at least tell us how big the market "potential" is. Now if only looking at the HD twins, that market sits at around 160M. That means there are still at the very least 60M people that still may buy a PS4/XB1.
Having said that, I think games like RDR will do wonders for the PS4 next year. I have noticed a lot of people underestimate what would happen if the console is sold at $199 for the most part of a year.
I agree with you on one part though, if next year is its peak year it would be just a little off this years performance. +/- 1M units.
