Do you think the PS5 will be a VR only console?

Btw for comparison: The first iPhone sold 1,3 Mio Units in its first year, way less then what Nokia, Motorla and co where selling in 2007. Do you think apple should have stopped making smartphones back in the days because sales "proofed" it would be a complete failure ? Or may new innovative stuff actually take some time go gain momentum?

I get your point, but these numbers are simply not true.

The iPhone launched June 29 and sold 0.27m in the first two days and 1.12m in Q3 2007 although it was only available in the US and with a bad AT&T contract in that time. Add the 2.32m of Q4 2007 + 1.70m of Q1 2008 + 0.72m of Q2 2008 and we are at over 6 million iPhones within 1 year + 2 days.

really? maybe my numbers are off, havnt researched again. But nontheless, apple is currently selling more iphones per months, maybe even per week as they have sold back in the days.  Similar stuff happened to the apple wach if I remember right which actually outsold the PS4 in 2017 but had a slow start in 2015.

 

So first years sales of a new product are certainly not show anything about their long term success. Especially if those stuff is brand new technology, mass market wont just buy it right away.
