I think we all know that we don't really know. Usually, a thread that speaks the truth gets very few responses, as there isn't much to debate. People are more interested in seeing a car crash than a scenic view.



It is near the end of the end....

I don't think you can tell.

Think about the slow start the PS3 had and it went on to surpass the Xbox 360 in worldwide sales.

Think of the quick start the Wii had. In the past couple years, console and software sales for it have been quite awful.

Think of the Xbox 360 in the US. The Wii trumped it forever, but suddenly Microsoft with an older console picked up steam in sales in the console's fifth year.

Think about how the Xbox 360's (and the PS3 to a smaller extent) osftware and hardware updates revitalized the console.

There are so many unknown factors over the next 5-10 years, that I think it is hard to predict what will happen.

 

Sure you can.

Plenty expected PS3 to surpass it even in the early days, and most knew 360 would do well enough given MS hard push of it.  Wiiu is to out gunned under powerd to survive, Nin squandered the chance to build a big lead and now they are on the edge  of death.
