wats easily? 20-40mil lifetime? The looks of sales right now (just as it is now) it looks like both 3DS+PS4 are the only ones going to be very huge and its too early to tell wat the final outcome is.

 

3DS will be over 80mil lifetime (i still believe ps4 will hit 80mil+)

 

edit: Its always Like this too predictable :P

PS4 still riding on shortages, well see how real bas is. many will be surprised.
WiiU up YoY.
360 dead, PS3 fading, 3DS weak (relatively). Xbox1 dead in EU and Japan. Vita dead in USA weak everywherelse, PSP holding LOL

C) stock piling for next holiday.

..as high as demand is right now it will be far higher next holiday.  they need to have several million stockpiled and reserves will be spread out throughout the whole year.

lol.. good one..

Do you seriously think any console manufacturer would store stuff in warehouses for almost a year???

the alternative is what?   ..ramp up production massively for 1 or 2 months in august and then decrease it back to normal?   i'll bet you have no idea how massively more expensive it to change production rates than it is to stock a warehouse.

uh.. check every fj report of every console manufacturer? And yes, contrary to what you think, I have occasionally had the chance to look into mass manufacturing in the past 30 years... Oh.. and how do you think those 4mio PS4/XBox Ones were made last year?

QFT.

One of those has peaked and will continue to decline, the other is more than twice as expensive (will sell even more when price comes down), is yet to be widely available worldwide, has no competition from tablet/smatphones and is not even released in Japan!!!

PS4 will outsell the 3DS every year, starting in 2014.

Holy s*** with Vita in the US, Europe+Japan numbers are not bad at least... PS4 is holding amazingly even without Japan, yeah!

Sony probably reached the 5 million milestone by january 31. Which is two months before the estimative.

Wii U hasn't dropped to 30k like some have predicted which is a small (albeit pathetic) win for Nintendo fans

January 27th 2007 is the comparable timeframe

DS 380,526 (+24%) 36,093,151
Wii 251,288 (+2%) 4,007,149
PSP 162,208 (-4%) 20,351,200
X360 113,045 (-3%) 8,480,456
PS3 74,220 (-7%) 1,632,136

 

handhelds are doing terrible though I'm not sure if the overlap for them is the same as the home consoles considering the platform totals totals.

ps4 to the wii (sytems selling the most of the 2 without a year head start) is a large drop but ps4 is missing Japan so it's not as terrible and the ps4 total is still higher than the wii in the same time frame.

wii u vs 360 (systems with the year head start) wii u is doing way less than the 360 it's less than half for the week and several million behind the total.

xbox one vs ps3 (system selling the less of the 2 without the head start) a difference of what 1,500? and it's also what double the total sales? yes ps3 didnt yet have europe but xbox one is missing many markets.


Okay

2007 Nintendo - 631,814 with 2 consoles

2014 Nintendo - 191,141 with 3 consoles

 

2007 Microsoft - 113,045 with 1 console

2014 Microsoft - 111,132 with 2 consoles

 

2007 Sony - 236,428 with 2 consoles

2014 Sony - 282,529 with 4 consoles

 

2014 still looks like crap to me.

 

things aren't looking great with the collapes of the hand held market for sure. With the drops from the psp and ds to vita and 3ds the market will be down by tens of millions a year every year for the enxt few years.

The wii u is also doing terrible and will also bring down the totals.

The ps4 and xbox one though are going to be up, but those two being up might not even ofset the drops from the wii to wii u. I don't think anyone can reasonably expext them to ofset the drops in the handheld market as well.

and this year might be up over last year. while we have had total sales down year over year since 2008 or 2009 if I recall coreectly.
