| Zod95 said: 1 - I did a comparison and I was right about it, regardless whether you think it's fair or not. You can criticize the comparison, you can't tell I'm wrong. 2 - That is your reasoning. Mine is: PS3 started at 600€ and got to the 400€ price point on 2008, PS4 is at 400€ since the beginning. Today PS4 is doing poorly when compared to PS3 at the same price. But since the price doesn't seem to be an issue for you, then compare the PS4 with the Wii and see what happens (it was doing around 250k per week on the "equivalent" period!). 3 - How do you classify PS4 sales today? Do you think it's a good sign when people can only accept the challenge of comparing it to the PS3 (which was lagging behind the competition on the last generation)? |
It's not about you being fair, it's about you being wrong. The PS3 got it's price drop around the same time it's library was ramping up, so your comparison in that regard is null and void. As for your Wii comparison, the Wii was a fad. It sold gangbusters for a time because of a fun, gimmicky motion controller aimed at Soccer moms and grandmothers, not gamers. Sales eventually fell off a cliff, while PS3 and 360 kept going strong. The Wii U's failure is further evidence of the Wii's fad status......the fad has passed. The great majority of people who bought the Wii moved on to mobile gaming and ignored the Wii U. With as much shovelware crap as the Wii had, it would have sold far, far, FAR less than it did had it not had motion control. Comparing ANY console sales to the Wii is futile; because it was an anomaly, the market is returning to normal. As for your 3rd point, I'll bite. Compared to the Xbox 360's first summer, it too is being greatly outsold the by the PS4 during the same time period. So, the PS4 is therefore not only outselling the PS3, it's outselling the 360 as well. So, yes. You ARE wrong no matter how you spin it.
