| Barkley said: 20.2m for 2017 nice. That's the first time a console has sold over 20m in a year since the DS in 2010. Where's that irstupid guy! He called people delusional for expecting the ps4 to sell as well in 2017 as 2016 because the Switch/XBO X would cannibalise it's sales! That's a strong word to throw around considering it's sales went up by 2.6m! |
I was talking holiday sales this year versus last year, not the whole year as evidenced by the One X not releasing until holiday season. One X can hardly steal sales of something when it not released yet.
And if you look, the sales were down YoY for the holidays for PS4. Not by much, but still down. The 2.6 million increase YoY was due to sales throughout the year. So the other systems did steal some sales of the PS4 during the holiday. How else do you explain a system having sold YoY 2.6 million more consoles, yet during the business shopping season selling less YoY.
