"Say console A sold 100m in 5 years and 130m lifetime vs console B 50m in 5 years and 75m lifetime. Who had the better legs?" Console B, legs is all about sales curve. B had a less sharp decline, thus it had stronger legs. "And does it even matter when total sales are more important? A system selling 100m shortly is still more successful than one that reaches 70m steadily over a decade." You're right, lifetime sales is much more important. Better Legs doesn't mean more successful. Looking at the legs of previous consoles is just a way to surmise what the lifetime sales could be. Regardless your original point was "I don't see these ps4 legs you're talking about." so I provided data showing you those legs. "26-27m in 2020 and 22m in 2021." I think closer to 22m in 2020, but if you are right and the Switch sells 26-27m in 2020 then beating the ps4 seems likely. |
Ok. Don't know why you think it won't increase much in 2020 but at least we don't have to wait long to get an idea of next year sales.
