| ikki5 said: I can't wait to come back to these threads in 6 - 7 years (if I remember) and read up on all these predictions of over 100m sales for the PS4 and when i see the 70-80 million number, I am going to laugh at you. |
Agreed. I think it's time some fanboys take their fantasy goggles off for a reality check.
Xbox 360 and Xbox One

| Zanten said: Why the heck is Wii U being included at all? I don't intend this to be as a 'lulNintendo' dig, because I do actually really enjoy their line of consoles, especially when it comes to the sheer joy of local multiplayer with my friends; bottom line, when it comes to social gaming with folks in the same room, my Wii (and eventually Wii U,) is going to be the top shelf item. But that being said, the entire point (or so I thought, at least,) of monitoring the relative sales of the consoles was to try and determine the sort of leverage each company can exert on the market. Basically, 'If You Sell It, They (the publishers and developers) Will Come.' But the reason the sales comparisons matter to the Xbox One and PS4 is because of how similar they are in most other respects. They even run on a similar architecture, and so the amount of Tender Loving Care a publisher gives one platform or the other, (whether it's taking advantage of unique hardware features, or simply pushing for a certain resolution or framerate,) will likely tie into how much profit they expect to extract from it. If the PS4 version of a game is selling in significantly higher numbers than the Xbox One version due to a gap in hardware numbers, then a publisher is going to inevitably keep that in mind when it comes time to decide whether they'll be doling any sort of exclusivity, how much they'll be charging, and if they reeeeally want to bother trying to get the Xbox One version of their game above 900p. Nintendo is... well, it's Nintendo. It has its own little fiefdom in the market, and chances are it will rarely, if ever, be included in 8th generation third-party titles that are intended to push the limits of the PS4 and Xbox One. It doesn't matter, either, because it's pretty clear that they're quite happy being Nintendo, and to be honest, so am I. ^^ Still, their involvement in a sales comparison is a bit pointless, because when it comes to fighting tooth or nail for third party exclusive content, and the other concerns that Sony and Microsoft will be facing, the Wii U simply won't be in the equation. |
we dont come to this site and discuss sales because we are developers deciding what console to produce games on.. we are on this site because we like to see the race, as do most other people who have been a fan of video games since the genesis/snes days. its fun to see which console sells more. especially if you are a big fan of one and not necessarily so much of the other. its like rooting for the yankees or the giants. you want to see your favorite do well.
also, the wii u deserves to be in a sales conversation regardless. nintendo is competing for the same dollars that sony and ms is competing for. theyre all players in the same market. just because sony and microsoft have damn near the same system doesnt mean nintendo should be excluded. was a sales discussion pointless during the N64, PS, and SATURN days?

its straight up click bait, and if a sony fan were to make a thread of similar antagonization, it would be locked. they let this shit go on and its contributing to the downward cycle this site has been in.
go on have your thread, wont change the ps4 domination. you about at the same level as the drill.

well that's a pretty rash judgement youre making about somebody you don't even know. maybe youre the reason this site is going down hill.
there needs to be advertisements about drinking and posting
Closing the gap? even with VGchartz numbers the gap is getting wider.
I think that the XBox One and PS4 will wind up much closer than people think. The sting of Microsoft's horrid reveal will wear off, and ultimately the two consoles offer too close of an experience to be too far apart, unless Microsoft's pr goes back to their previous stupidity. However, E3 was a good indication that Microsoft has righted the ship and they'll be ok in the longrun.
Wii U is a bit of a wildcard. I think their current software lineup will help them build some momentum, but I don't see anything arriving to really kickstart sales. I don't think Amiibo will do this, but then again I didn't see Skylanders, Wii Sports, Nintendogs, or Brain Age being huge hits, so what do I know? Ultimately, I think the lack of much family friendly content on other systems will allow Nintendo to carve a little niche for itself.
I see something like 90-70 million between XBone and PS4 with the Wii U at about 40 million.
PS4 will not reach 50%. The (percentage) gap is already shrinking.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
