Well, it's impressive, after only 3 months and something after the PS4 Launch... right now PS4 should be above 6 million Global hardware sold. amazing.

Then you're welcome to leave. If you were a senior member that grew tired, I could almost understand where you're coming from but you made an account a month ago on a forum and spend your time posting about how the site is a joke. That says more about you than about the site.

nah seems legit some pretty detailed analysis of it on his wall

think man: Yeah, PS4 has still yet to stanbilize I do think they PS4 will outsell the WiiU before MK launches but the WiiU could take back the lead if MK provides to be just what the doctor ordered. MK is a beast franchise.

zero: we agree on something. I don't particularly think ps4 will surpass wii u before mario kart. but IF that hapens, mario kart would take the lead back indefinetely.

zero: so far, comgnet pre orders point to around 170k software sold at launch. that would mean sub 140k hardware numbers. it would take a while to reach 300k.

zero: if you check comgnet pre orders, even 140k may be too much.


:( he deleted our whole conversation.

I got the software numbers about right. the hardware-software propotion was the one off. and I just delete useless conversations. the last one you started is still there.

It was. Nintendeo deserves all the credit in the world for it, but everything points to a similar innovation not happening again.

 

Just look at sales.

nes: 60 mil

snes: 40 mil

n64: 30 mil

gcn: 20 mi

wii: 100 mil

wii u: probably 20 mil

 

It certainly was a sales fluke.


A fluke? Over that period of time?

1. Occurence based solely on luck or chance.

 

Sure, it's from urban dictionary, what other source could I have used? The key word though is occurrence. Many things happened time and again to get support of the casuals and keep that support.

It wasn't over a period of time. Just once did they strike genius with the Wii concept and launch. They captured lightning in a bottle, and post 2006 they just showed it off.

You weren't even close. You were talking about how the PS4 was only going to have 100k FW in software and that 140k in hardware was pushing it. Why can't you just once admit you were actually wrong? It's not going to be the end of the world. 



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

WiiU got a 4k boost fro Donkey Kong.



 

Beat my prediction by 3 weeks or so. Congratz to Sony and PS4 for taking best marketshare in the 8th gen.



e=mc^2

Gaming on: PS4 Pro, Switch, SNES Mini, Wii U, PC (i5-7400, GTX 1060)
