I think it could easily go either way as no one knows for sure If the consumer outside the hardcore gaming community will truly buy into the PS4/X1 so early into their like cycle's.

But If the PS4/X1 sell really badly going into next year it could have potentially catastrophic consequences. PS3/360 game sales demonstrate how reliant Sony/Microsoft are on Third Party publisher to produce games that shift their systems. I think that status quo is unlikely to change anytime soon and poor console sales could hurt Third Party publishers focus on these next generation consoles. It could lead to Publishers sticking with current consoles as their main focus for lot longer, delaying games for larger user-base to show. Previously exclusive PS4/X1 games getting ported to the PS3/360, cutting back on existing production game budgets, cancelling games all together or even looking at other potential ways to release their software.

What was tthe point of calling him out about Nintendo? Nowhere in ur conversation did he even mention them

Stop posting nonsense, no game will EVER cost 1 billion dollars to make, the biggest budget movie ever made doesn't even have 1/3 of that budget and it'd be impossible to even spend that much money on a game.

Did you just pull that out of your ass? Be honest.

I think the only reason why the Wii U didn't sell that well off the bat was due to most hardcore gamers waiting to hear what sony and MS were doing as we knew the launch wasn't far off... I think in the upcoming years / holiday seasons we will see improvement in its sales overall

bump for lulz

So funny to see these posts of Nintendo fans dooming next gen. "Wii U bombed, therefore next gen will bomb, just wait till november!"

Well, X1 and PS4 launched great, now we'll have to wait and see if it holds up. Wii U launched great, too. Launches are usually great, moreso if they're during the holiday season.
Based on the most recent sales figures though, we're already seeing massive dropoffs in X1/PS4 sales, as most reasonal people expected. Anyone who seriously believed they were going to remain in the several-100k-range a week is obviously delusional. X'D

I'm pretty sure the Xbox will be doing as bad as the Wii U in europe and alot worse than the Wii U in Japan. In the US its still a toss as it seems to have brand value with the americans.

PS4 i am sure will dominate the European and likely Japanese markets and will have a good chance on the US.

They have more promising line ups and the ps4 double the wiiu's launch. And the xbox one was also significantly higher. They look like they're going to do better as of now.

All of Zero's post are priceless
