2013 ... no doubt about it.

Sony expect 5m end of March, they'll hit that and more if they can get stock out.

WiiU will be 6m (shipped) end of this year, 500k Q1 (if they're lucky.)

They'll be even by at least September time.

I think you meant 2014.

And yeah I agree summer/autumn next year looks realistic.

Yeah 2014, typo!!

never, sony will have big big money problems soon. it will go down with the japanese economy. nintendo will survive because they are small and they know how to make money with videogames, even in a bad market.

..so you expect Sony to not have enough money to manufacture PS4s, thus having to discontinue the PS4 in, I don't know, 9 months? Or what is the logic behind that post?


they will have big problems to roll over the debt, mb they will go down, mb just have realy big problems, time will tale.  that will hurt the gaming section and the sales, they will have to pay more to manufacture the ps4 because it will be more risky for the manufacturing company.

mb? what is that? Also that whole "Sony is on the brink of collapse"-argument is getting old, yes the company is not doing so hot, but I assure you the PS4 is not going anywhere for the next couple years.

This guy is too funny. Have you seen the success of Sony's PS4 launch?

Again even if that were to happen, the PS4 wouldn't go away. Beside if any company would hurt the most from a collapse of the Japanese economy it would be Nintendo, afterall they made 30% of their hardware business and 22.5% of their software business in Japan this year, compared to Sonys 14% Hardware and Software.

Come the Japan release which is an impending obliteration rather than a competition. Wii U makes me anxious for the time. PS4 doesn't.

Somepoint in Q3 2014. The upcoming Wii U game's like Mario Kart 8, Donkey Kong, Super Smash Bros and others should delay what i think is inevitable. But by Q3, those should of all been out for a while and dropped off in sales. While PS4 should be getting some truly huge games by then. Who knows, Nintendo and 3rd parties may surprise us with more great games by then. But i think most people expect Wii U to go down easily and quickly, i don't. Wii U already has some key advantages in being first to market, cheapest system by far and a good range of games to play. Also, i don't want the outcome of the generation to be decided so soon (by PS4 obviously).
