Agreed, the PS4 and Xbone have litterally nothing that look remotely interesting yet, outside of perhaps Dead Rising 3, but I wouldn't spend more than 30 bucks to play that game, let alone $60 + $500 for the console to play it on. I don't see how these consoles are selling other than the hype.. But hype can only last so long. Eventually you're going to need actual substance.

Though in all fairness, it took the Wii U a year to get only a handful of games worth playing. It could very well take the same amount of time for the PS4 and Xbone.


PS4 and Xbone will have an actual third party support. Every noticable 3rd game that is being developed right now will release on PS4/Xone (with the exception of Dark Souls 2 and PC MMOs). Wii U didnt have that luxury in the past. Where was Tomb Raider for   Wii U? Metal Gear Rising? Bioshock? GTA? 

offcourse wii-u will get more 3. party now.. not only becourse there are more wii-u than ps4one (at least to the half of 2014,, then we see) but also becourse the next gen has startet..

And the people complayning about "they had one more year"... Yes you are right.. but wii-u still has the most and best games at this moment.... This moment where the 8 gen starts.. and nintendo had the kanons ready.. testet system and good price..

I'm really can't wait to see sales in few weeks.. :)   (and i'm pretty sure ps4360 will never get by wii-u)

I believe PS4 will outsell WiiU in about 2 months on the market, maximum 3

the problem with sony fans is that you actually  believe the things you dream. remember how psvita was going to destroy 3DS, that was a dream nothing more.

Remember how PS4 sold 1/4 of Wii U's LTD sales in 24 hours in its weakest market?

Not going to happen mate, once the launch period is over and standard weekly sales come in you'll wish you never made such a prediction. Sony would also have to manufacture and ship 4m units in that time as well.

Ok, you wanna bet in a permaban that PS4 will outsell the Wii U at the very least by end of Q1 2014?



He's probably right about it being the only console with a game worth playing. But it won't really help with sales. It's simply overpriced as-is in comparison to the competition and does not appease the masses.

I think that's actually pretty accurate. It does seems like its the best game for next gen so far. Nintendo need to market the shit out of it and ride any momentum from it.

I would also like to add, that from what I've seen, it also has the better upcoming lineup with Donkey Kong, Smash Bros and Mario Kart and more coming out next year.

Sure, PS4 sold amazingly well on its launch, but it was bought only by fans. How long can we expect such hype to keep ? Is there any game to keep the hype up next year until a new CoD come?

None of the three new consoles were able to attract new consumers to the market on its launch, and this is what really should be a matter of concern. 

Right now, I´d say that it´s impossible to make any prediction  of how any of the three will sell after holidays. I´d say that Ps4 and WiiU will sell just fine enough next year and I wouldn´t bet on XboxOne, but maybe all three will not sell well.

They should make a cross over  Pik Cats U


If they add this to the cover of the game it will sell.
