Forums - Sales - PS4 to lead all consoles with 51 million sold by 2016 - IDC

Assuming that Sony plans to support this console in full until at at least the end of this decade (whenever they announce a successor or if Playstation goes digital due to advances in tech), this would put the console on track to outsell the DS and PS2, which I`m not fully convinced to at this point. Though Nintendo isn`t providing much competition, the Xbox One is certainly providing much more competition than did the original Xbox against the PS2. In addition, the existence and rapidly increasing popularity of smartphones and tablets make it hard to believe the PS4 will perform that well.

Maybe by the end of 2016, but only if MS keeps X1 on the same path it is now, which is doubtful. I expect a unbundling sooner rather then later.

If MS even keeps the Xbox division that is...

Please, if you do your homework you'd see that  Sony going bankrupt has a higher chance of happening then MS selling the Xbox division.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Difference is Sony going B effect PS little, MS selling Xbox would likely kill the brand as market would see it as a failure and MS ditching a broken pony.

PS does not need sony in any way, they benefit from ties being cut.



Yeah, this all seems a bit too optimistic.

Sounds plausible to me ...


Yep. I think so.
