PS2 was such a monster.


And PS4 is ahead of it in NA, likely Europe also.

PS3 continues to outsell 360 and wii combined, and has for a long time. PS4 will be approaching 50% by the end of the holidays, we'll see.

Actually, last week was the first time it outsold them combined for 2.5 months.


No it wasn't. Also happened 19th July and 7th June

And it pretty much deserved to sell that much because it was an amazing console!

Those are within a margin of error as being a statistical tie.   You can't approach 50% market share with a 2.6 million deficit on spradic 5,000 per week wins.   That would take 10 years.   To say nothing the fact that aside from those 2 statistical ties, it didn't acheive 50% share for the week during those 2.5 months...meaning it lost ground.   PS4 had a much bigger market share 2.5 months ago than it does today.

Idk if it'll outsell them combined but does it matter? Not like MS and Nintendo are gonna partner up anytime soon to take down the king and it is easily beating both of them at the same time.

It is possible as Sony's market share continues to rise. If it gets a large enough market share where 3rd parties feel more comfortable developing for it than for other consoles that will only boost its sales even more.

Will happen at the end of the gen or beginning of the next one imo.

Actually, it's been falling for nearly 3 months.

What are you talking about? The market share keeps rising. Right now it's higher than it ever was.

Also, since Nintyy/Ms sold 180 m last gen vs 80 for PS3, didn't Sony already have the lead in the past and they have lost it?


ofc

after ps2 and before wii

 

 

dont think this will happen anytime soon

sony needs to outsell xbox one + wii u by 30m units

 

if wii U will do horrible, there is a possible wii U successor
