Forums - Gaming - Global hardware 28 June: PS4 back on top

You should change the title, PS4 isn't dominating. It should be "PS4 back on top" or "PS4 #1 Again"

Not sure if I'd call it "PS4 dominance", but a good week compared to the last few.

40%+ more than the XB1, 50%+ more than the wiiU.

If that doesn't qualify as dominace then i don't know what would.

Wouldn't it make more sense to use 06/07 numbers? 2013 numbers are close to the end of the gen when sales obviously slow down.

But that wouldn't be convenient for his spin.


My spin has 2 points:

1: Summer WW sales ratio are basicaly the same for the last 3 years.

2: The "doomed" Xone is doing basicaly the same numbers the 360 was doing facing a over-expencive PS3 in 2007.

You can check the numbers by yourself. I don´t want to polute the page if countless sale table.


but this is "price drop" month. And it's still less than the predecessor, not "basically the same"

This gen isn't going to be like the 7th gen in any way, shape, or form. Still good to see the Wii U having a better baseline now.

As is, no console will reach any of the totals, or it will be dominated by one (ala Gen(s) 5 & 6)?

What historical fact/evidence can you sincerely use to back this claim, or is it a wish?

Cause as is, the PS4 is totally outperforming the PS3 over the same period in the PS3s life. So I honestly don't know how you can reasonably conclude that it will not at least exceed PS3 lifetime sales. In addition to that, if things continue as they are now there is also one console that will dominate the others. Or at least one of the others.

Lets play with numbers a bit. If the PS4 keeps outsells the wiiU at say 2:1 through out the course of this gen. And the PS4 sells an average of 15M  per year. After 6/7 years (including this year) the PS4 will be at 90M/105M to the wiiUs 45M/52M. That doesn't count as dominating to you?

Oh, something to consider.... the PS4 is outselling the wiiU t 2:1 is me being very very very generous.



Mario Kart 8 legs if true are amazing!

Pokemon XY doing amazingly well despite OR/AS Being announced. Still undertracked WW by about 1mil :-/ (ok 600k-800k!)

Nice boost for the PS4 this week. Holding itself well without any major releases for over a month.



Was there no price-cut/Kinectless XBO bundle in Europe or something?

3DS back over 100k is interesting as well. It'll probably drop below again, but you need to celebrate the small things with Ninty these days.

Yes, but 50k isn't a small thing; it's a terrible one.
