Wman1996 said: Of Sony's first 4 home consoles, only PS3 was below 100 million because of -High price for the first years -A sluggish stream of quality software at first. -Stiff direct competition from Xbox and indirect competition from Nintendo PS5 is on track to sell similarly to PS4, though I too think it will fall short of PS4's total. Short of the console market falling off a cliff or mistakes similar to the PS3, there's little chance PS6 doesn't crack 100 million. PlayStation home consoles are more consistent than Xbox or Nintendo home consoles. |
I am pretty sure that if PS3 was slashed half the price in it's last years, just like PS2 or at least to 199$ (for the 500GB model, and 149$ for the 12GB), it would reach 100M, and because it would sell more units than what it did, Sony would left it on the market till 2020 and not 2016.
