Wait..... what am I reading in this thread all f a sudden.

Is there a single person alive that thinks a console will keep selling better than it did the previous year for ever?

Some of you here are talking about PS4 being down YOY and also going to be down YOY like thats somehow a bad thing. Or is somehow abnormal.

The PS4 has ran its race. And its been a good one. Its one leg out the door already and its n track t be another 100M selling console from sony. What more do you guys want?

Heres a news flash. Next year the PS4 will sell less than it did this year. And the year after that even less. This is not because its having its ass handed to it by the NS..... its because its reached the end of its life. This same strange thing has happened to around 12 consoles over the past 4 or so generations. Shocking I know.

That's probably because at the beginning of the year there were discussions on whether PS4 would be up or down this year, and lots of people believed it could be up and defended it using the argument that this year would have a much better first party and exclusive line up.
