Sorry, call me what you will but when a new gen starts why do people still care about the last? Oh because they don't care.

So in the history books it'll only say that 104m PS2s were sold?  No it'll say that ~160m were sold.  That matters and people definitely care.  As someone already mentioned PS1 was the first console to ever sell 100m yet it didn't do that until the 6th gen was out.  It's still remembered as the first ever console to get there.

Nintendo fans are eager for this gen to end because the only way they can claim that Nintendo won. Of course, when you look for a winner, you look for the one which sold the most - not the one who sold the most in an arbitrary period of time.

I can take you all one-sided freaks, rape your words and make you eat your own statements. The world is changing. Live with it. There was Atari, Nec, Sega, sooner or later a new name will join'em with or without sales. And yes, I belive it will.



Ex Graphics Whore.

it's actually the other way around, sony fans are eager for the generation to last as long as possible because that's the only way they have a slight chance to say that sony "won".

Please make me eat my statements, also, you do realize how harder it is for a new company to break into the console race? There's only a few plausible companies with enough cash flow to join the console race, which isn't as profitable as it once was. The only companies I can see joining is Apple, Valve(lol), and yeah...that's about it. 

 

And your post isn't even relavant to the thread, you simply made a baseless assumption while insulting others, try harder. Be better. Improve.

I'll spell it for you - it doesn't matter how long a gen lasts. The winner is the one who ends up selling the most. And you and me know that it's not going to be the Nintendo Wii.

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

70 million NextBox

80 million WiiU. 

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

I wasn't aware the ps4 had specs the next box could only dream about?  Is it may 21st already?

 

anyways aside from that foolish comment I think the ps4 will sell the most next gen overall but will lose in America and the UK

neither me nor you know that. but so far wii is 25M ahead, and the only way for ps3 to have a slight chance to close that gap is selling well for a long time. ps3 is selling moderately now, it will sell little next year and nearly nothing the 1 or 2 years after if it isn't discontinued before. ps2 is still on the market because it was still selling well, it got 7M on 2009, it's 9th year. ps3 is gonna sell 8M on it's 7th year (2013) so considering the decline it should have a smaller life than ps2 so i'm guessing 10 years. it won't be enough to pass the wii.

But the PS3 is selling at a $249 price point, where as the PS2 was selling at $149 or something close to the figure. Can't crunch numbers like that until the PS3 gets an overdue price cut, which will drastically effect its sales.

Quit posting such garbage. The 360 shipped 1.3mil this quarter. Ps3 will easily match that. You are claiming that the Ps3 won't be able to sell another 6.6mil in 9 months with 3 of those months selling nearly half of the entire year totals. What you are suggesting means the Ps3 will sell 3.6mil in Q4. That is utter nonsense. It's not going to go from 5.9mil to 3.6mil YoY.
