That would make sense...except the PS4 just came off a huge year, both world wide and in the US. We have to wait and see if anything has really changed there. But that could be having an impact at this stage, though things like the Slim version and Pro will sell to those who own a basic model. That's part of the way PS1, PS2, and PS3 kept selling. New models to current owners. |
In the US? Sales look fairly flat to me with the $199 PS4 helping a lot. Sales were still down by quite a bit compared to 2015. Worldwide, of course, it’s showing legs like a normal PS console would. And not sure why regular PS4 owners would need to move to the Slim though a small fraction have upgraded to the Pro. And no, that’s not how the PS1, PS2 and PS3 kept selling. Consoles are different to handhelds - in general, people just don’t change to a different model unless they need to. The PS consoles keep selling because as time goes by prices go down making it more affordable to more people while, at the same time,the library gets better. Selling new models to current owners - that’s a Nintendo practice. How many 3DS models did they release? 7?
