Forums - Sales Discussion - Will the PS4 outsell the XBox One and WiiU?

Dark_Lord_2008 on 28 April 2013

Based on the lack of information we have had on the NextBox. Very slow start to Wii U sales as consumers wait for the other systems to arrive  on the market. PS4  information has been very positive and the PS4 has specifications that the NextBox can only dream they could match. You can safely put your house on that the PS4 will comfortably outsell the NextBox and WiiU. I believe the PS4 will outsell their competitors like they did during the PS2 generation. Most consumers will want PS4 as it is the best system and has the best games. Limited information on the NextBox and the WiiU is not really selling.

My Ltd sales predictions for the three systems will be as follows:

150 million PS4

90 million XBox One

60 million Wii U

Do you guys  believe the PS4 will outsell both Wii U and NextBox by a huge margin?

The throne will be either Micro's or Sony's. That is the feeling I get.



Nintendo is selling their IPs to Microsoft and this is true because:

I could see a marketshare split of

PS4-40%(80m)

Wii U-25%(50m)

Xbox-35%(70m)

Impossible to predict. Definitely Wii U will be last.

other than the numbers being slightly higher this is how I see it playing out.

I think you're all predicting too high total figures. I think around 150mil combined for all consoles will be about right, it could be around 60-50-40. But which console fits in where, it's too early to tell.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Why do u think the market will shrink so much? Casuals leaving? Shorter generation? Other?

Every single console generation has increased in total number of units upon the previous console generation.
5th generation sold 150 million 107 million PS1, 33 million N64 and 10 million Saturn
6th generation sold over 210 million: 155 million PS2, 25 million XBox, 22 million Game Cube and 10 million Dreamcast.
So far this generation has sold around 250 million 99 million Wii, 75 million XBox 360, 74 million PS3 and counting.
8th generation should again sell more as the world population increases more console systems will be sold to a growing global consumer market. 300 million systems may be reached next generation.
