I can't belive a Smart TV is cheaper than a Wii U.

Anyway I think they will sell just fine!

Everything this gen has failed to sell as well as its predecessor.



Great, another "analyst" who's probably never picked up a controller in his life.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Meh, i dont buy it



that was pretty obvious from the beginning. Even if PS4 and xbone end up doing just as well as their predecessors, Wii U wont even come close to Wii, so massive drop



Around the Network

No sh*t.



PS4 will.

The statement makes sense. Even looking at games sales, which are down considerably bar from a new franchises or surprise hits. Software doesn't sell as well as it used to, and tablets and smart phones are far more sought after than consoles.

Mass forum hype for the PS4 shouldn't cloud reason and logic, in actual sales, next gen wont be very big at all.

Especially in actual console owners, PS3 and Xbox may have sold a lot, but remember, so many people have rebrought & upgraded their consoles. Everybody I know has brought more than two consoles, I have brought 4 360's in the last 7 years. Actual console owners are much less than the 80m PS3 and 360 have sold. 



i buy a ps3 over a xbox cos it can read blu-ray.

but i agree. maybe only ps4 can achieve the sales results of sonys 7 gen console.
