Console industry is too big for three major players. Two players seems right. Its all over ps2 era again.

Wait, the console industry is too big for 3 major players, so 2 seems better? Wouldn't the console industry being too big mean that it needs more players?


There was a time when 4 players (sony, sega, microsoft and nintendo) made the industry crowded. Now console gaming has shrinked to smart phones. Plus given how consoles operate (break even or little loss from hardware and revenue from software) more players will cause more trouble.

So what you meant to say in your first post was the console industry is to small for 3 players? That's all I was confused by.

And now? Should people not be happy about the PS4 performance?

Not really, and why are you makng bets anyway? You've genuinely never got any prediction right. You overpredicted WiiU the most in the 10 week countdown, and underestimated XB1 and PS4 the most ....

You literally can't make informed, reliable predictions Zero.

why are you worried that I'm taking bets? That's none of your business.

I didn't say I was worried, I'm asking why are you doing it when you must know your chances of winning are slim given your track record?

You must acknowledge that right? That every prediction you make fails?

lol Seece, you're giving him too much credit. If he had that kind of insight, he wouldn't have continuosly posted stuff that never happens!

On a side note, is VGC back to posting the numbers relatively faster? We´re not that far behind anymore like we´ve since late october :D

Moderated,

One is quite low, gotta say. Wii U going into the 35-45k baseline I expected. Handhelds continue their path towards irrelevance compared to the 7th gen, PS4 doing well but not headed for Wii speed or PS2 lifetime sales at this pace.


?

Its currently tracking above Wii while still having supply issues and not being in Japan. It'll probably fall below the Wii sometime during this year, and it most certanly wont match Wii's 2008, but im 100% it will outsell Wii's LTD when is all said and done. Wii was tracking way above PS2 and it didnt even pass PS1...

So BD preorders were massively overtracked. I wonder how overtracked the sales are...

Maybe we should cut Zero some slack, since he's back from his ban he seems to be trying to improve his behaviour so I think it's a bit unfair that people keep bagging on him (and I know i've been doing this alot as well). Let him make his prediction and time will tell if he's wrong or not, no need to make fun of him when he's trying to stay respectful.
