We will see. Of course it's a win-win for me as I enjoy both Wii U and X1 doom threads :)



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

All of these are reasonable predictions, besides the last two. There's no way PSP can outsell Vita if Vita beat PSP last year, Vita is up YOY, and PSP is down YOY.

It seems true for Xbox One, and mostly Wii U. They both had good launches, but so far have only had 1 real system seller.

I'm not too sure about PS4, though. It's only been below 100k weekly once.


This is part of the reason I've been working on that chart.  I've been wanting to compare them directly against each other and see if there are any long-term trends or patterns from generation to generation.  Easier said than done, though.  This has been one of those projects that starts out with the naive assumption that it will be a quick job, only for the reality of how much work it is to quickly set in.  And before you know it, you're sitting there with your head in your hands, thinking "Why did I want to do this again?"

All I know about long-term trends in console sales is this:

Sony consoles aren't front-loaded, and don't sell well overtime. They constantly sell well.

Nintendo's console sales decline every gen, with the exception of the Wii.

No help, though. Everyone already knows those!

With this awful Vita line up i can expect anything ,Vita outselling PSP will depend on Japan number

The amount Vita is outselling PSP in the US weekly is bound to grow in the holidays. If PSP beats Vita in Japan, the amount won't be enough to cover how much Vita beats PSP in the US.
