Forums - Gaming - PS4 fast approaching a dangerously 70% marketshare for 2014!

This is hilarious, I never expected this level of domination.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

It's like I was put into a cryogenic deep freeze during the year 2003 and just woke up. haha

70% for PS4 seems easy enough but no higher.
Also surprised Vita has as much as a 1/4 of the handheld sales



Xbox Series, PS5 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

Prediction: Switch 2 will outsell the PS5 by 2030

80% is the goal for 2014.

Should go up next two weeks, but once TF comes that percet is going to drop back to the lower 60s.

It should reach 70% soon enough.

Be careful though, your thread might get locked for talking about sales.

Man, you know exactly why your threads got locked. Don't cause trouble.

What threads? I forgot a few words there.

If you're referring to the party on my wall thread then, no, I do not know. You called it a duplicate but as far as I know there had not been another recent thread inviting people to a party on my wall. 

You made a thread, got locked by ioi (probably). You can't just make duplicate threads just because they got locked for reasons out of our control, a dupe's a dupe.

This is the same thing that drove off Trash, that ethomaz was trying to pull.

The competition made so many mistakes going into the new generation it's not even funny. Complete suicide. We're back to PS2 domination.

Both of the competition will be terminated early and PS4 will dominate all by itself. In the long run the hardest competition towards PS4 will come from PC and tablets.


No and I don't think so.

 

I expect the Steamboxes to be a relatively niche thing, especially after the clusterfuck of announcements with overpriced, unatractive, sometimes unupgradable boxes.

Tablets, hmm. I don't think that the userbase who now own PS360 so probably around 100 million unique people to ditch console gaming for tablets as it is now. I don't expect tablets to become viable replacements for consoles in terms of games and streamlined hardware solutions during this console generation so 5-6 years. So yeah I think PS4 is safe until it will get good games and won't fail in the less important sections like apps OS and whatnot.

I wouldn't underestimate PC. Steam alone has 75 million active users and the advantage of PC? No need to reset the userbase to 0 every console generation. How long is it going to take PS4 to reach 75 million? And by that point Steam will be above 100 million active users. Even if Steam boxes are niche, that userbase is huge and growing.

Now that's just Steam. PC has a lot of other services with a whole lot of users too (gog.com, GMG, Origin etc.).

Are we seriously putting all the blame on ethomaz about trash departure?

Not at all. (the underlying cause has been cause for concern amongst the mods recently, but we're in wait-and-see mode for how it ends up). But his dustup with ethomaz was one of the last things he did and kinda bent him out of shape a bit.
