Forums - Gaming Discussion - Why Can't You Guys Accept the Fact...

This is the sort of flame bait thread that should be deleted before it even receives any posts...

We haven't accepted Wii U as having lost because it hasn't yet and we don't want it to. Wii U certainly isn't doing well, but PS4 isn't doing as great as people on this site seem to think it does.

Are stores clogged with people asking for the PS4 every morning? The Wii was, same with the PS2 for as long as a year after the console was released. This tells me that the PS4 actually isn't that enticing of a console.   Sure it's selling out, but that doesn't mean much.  

In popularity poles among the casual players, XBox One usually wins out.  I asked my mother, and she was convinced the XBox One was the console to have.  Same with several other sources I've seen.

I don't see it doing the 100 mill that people seem to think it will, and I think it's left itself open to be overturned.

Why can't Toastboy accept the fact that we understood his seven other threads which said the exact same thing?

Cause if we learned anything from last gen and the handhelds of current gen...

Nothing is set in stone, and things change.


Last gen was an unorthodox generation. 

Might be a trend for future gens, might not.  Only time will tell.

No. That a was a lightening in a bottle chance. Those were non-gamers Nintendo bagged and they aren't returning. The market is going to shrink. It was a good thing for Nintendo though.

I'm talking about less to do with "Nintendo got lucky" and more to do with how the things early on did not set the course for the rest of the generation.

I think the last time I saw a poll here about who won last gen, almost 40% if the voters were delusional enough to vote a console not called the Nintendo Wii. So good luck finding a rational winner.

That PS4 AND Xbox 1 won this gen? Both systems are selling at/below manufacturing prices and Microsoft/Sony is making a killing off subscriptions. Microsoft and Sony can do nothing for the rest of the gen and make money and gain 3rd party support and Nintendo is still trying to make a profit.  There are two winnas this gen so can we all calm down about shipment numbers??!


Why can't you accept the fact that you are telling yourself this because it pains you to go through this current entire gen thinking that the PS4 has a very reasonable shot of outselling and outpacing the competition?

I think you may have hit the nail on the head. 



According to everyone there can only be one winner.

There really was no winner last gen though.

Oh? You have very sure they arent beeing sold at a loss... and i say you are wrong.



I think the XBox one sits right in the middle between core and more mainstream audiences. It has the potential to do really well in the long run. The Wii U is just, I don't even know anymore. PS4 has started great but it needs to attract the mainstream to completely beat out X1



I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime. 

The NX will be a 900p machine
