Well yeah of course.

PS4 has crushed it with the early lead, but isn't this a role reversal of Wii and PS3? Those two are ending up closer than anyone in 2007 dreamed.


I certainly don't expect it though.

Sorry buts its gen 8 the super casuals have moved to iPhone and Xbox is not being able to compete with PS this time. Focuson the goal of passing vita and staying ahead of Xbox.

If Half-Life 3 becomes a Wii U exclusive, then Wii U can become the best selling console for all we know.

Never.

There's a slight chance that with Mario Kart 8 and with a 50$ slash WiiU might get back in the game, but with Microsoft being kinda weak too, Sony has an easy ride this generation.

I highly doubt it.

Yes, if Sony goes bankrupt then the WiiU will outsell the PS4......so there is a legit .001% chance.

People saying no don't understand probability and chance

Not a complete role reversal, seeing as the xb1 and wii u didn't have 2006 level failures, even xb1's pr disaster wasn't as bad as Giant Enemy Crabs.

Nothing's impossible. Right now PS4 is doing as well as it is because it's a good price for the hardware you get, and has plenty of 3rd party support, but if it can't keep up with 1st party software, eventually it'll run out of steam, just like the Wii did. The Wii U, which honestly is starting to do okay with 1st party, could take off decently if it can gain traction with 3rd party support. It can get 2nd place easily with enough quality 1st party, but to get 1st, it will depend if they can gain at least a little bit of 3rd party, and keep the 1st party going longer and better than Sony, which I can see happening. Sony isn't exactly rolling in dough to invest, while Nintendo is. I mean I wouldn't bet on it, but it's not an absurd notion.

Sony has already invested in 1st party studios, sure they aren't as acclaimed as Nintendo. But since 3rd parties dominated the market last gen, PS3's 1st parties set it apart.

From the Xbox 360 yes. And that's all they needed to do. Hence why PS3 has gradually caught up and overtaken 360. However, Microsoft has also invested in 1st party this gen, much more so than Sony. Sony needs to step up their game with 1st party. For the first time in history, Microsoft actually has a 1st party advantage over Sony. And they look like they're going to keep it well into 2015 at the least. Sony has a few things, but nothing that outdoes Microsoft. If Microsoft can gain traction once it gets more 1st parties, it'll steal market share more from Sony than from Nintendo. Which would leave the race much, much closer if Nintendo can gain some traction as well. But hey, wouldn't a close race be much more fun to watch than a Wii or PS2 style domination race? I for one hope it turns out that way, just for the fun of watching it. Otherwise I don't care that much. I get all the games I want either way, I just come here because for some reason I find watching charts to be really interesting.
