ok, i see more of the reason why youre saying its unrealistic. you have not explained what you meant by that at all yet, so i was left guessing.

im talking about a relative decline. marketshare is all relative, so it doesnt matter if summer is a slow period for console sales. so im not really sure that has anything to do with it. reasons for the increase in wii u and xbone are obvious, and the decline for ps4 is obvious too.. ps4 has done virtually nothing, as most people have pointed out, while ms and ninty made moves. are junes numbers indicative for the rest of the year? thats the question here. im willing to be they are. we all know mario kart and many other nintendo games have been titles with huge legs. this is going to sustain sales. also keep in mind that a HUGE amount of people are waiting for the wii u. people dont want to pay 300 dollars for this machine, but they want one. im not sure the same can be said for ps4. very rarely do you hear about people waiting it out to buy one. xbox one, im willing to bet this price cut and master chief collection are going to keep sales at a point that, when combined with wii u, will be more than ps4. sony will get a huge boost from destiny while nobody else benefits from that, we all know this. will that plus anything else they have keep them above 50% marketshare? im not certain, but i am willing to bet that no, its not; there's too much good shit on the other side for me to see this happening.

There is so much wrong with what you have said here that I don't know where to begin.

You are right with one thing though, market share is a relative thing. But everything else you have said after that, is just flat out wrong. Especially that HUGE amount of people waiting for the wiiU bit. Makes everything you say come off as fanatical at best.

PS4> X1> Wii U All is right in the videogame universe.

This is USA sales, WorldWide Wii U sell like or more XBOX ONE.

I live in the US. I have been on this site a long time. I know this is American data. Obviously, kid.

I'm kid, but you have 128 year.

Not Kart wiiUs biggest exclusive or a x1 "price cut" to parity could drive either to even match PS4 sales in NA for a sinlge month.

mario kart drives sales over long periods of time. sony doesnt really have anything like that :/ i believe the reason its selling as well as it is, is because of the continued hype from when it launched. customers are being promised a bright future, and theyre still buying into it. i dont think remasters is what the fans had in mind lol. sony better do something different to maintain this dominance.

70% share will happen no matter how much u want it not to.  The games are coming, 3rd party ones will bump PS4 not x1 and sonys track record on exclusives seals the deal beyond any doubt.  Simply put Wiiu and X1 have nothing to stop it from happening.

lol youre dreaming. there really is nothing else to say to that.

PS4 at its weakest is still crushing them both who are near their best.  Da hell you think a eventual price cut, holiday bundles temp cuts and all the games will do ???? it will be a slaughter even more brutal then PS2 managed.

lol. again.. youre dreaming. holiday bundles, really? nintendo benefits more than anybody from holidays, how long have you been here?

It will be hilarious when a year old port/remaster bumps PS4 back to near 60% share.

lol what does that say about the ps4 userbase?


you made me lol three times in a row. good job.

Good. They even lost the first month of kinectless version in their strongest market. July will be even better.

thats what i have gathered from my experience. people dont want to pay 300 dollars for a wii u. id say a 50 dollar price cut for wii u would do more for their sales (percentage wise) than a 50 dollar price cut for ps4. of course this is just a guess, based off experience. people dont mind a 400 dollar price tag for ps4. they do mind a 300 dollar price tag for wii u. i think thats just the way it is.

It implied VGC are pretty over tracked with the 360 (by almost 2 million).

Maybe i'm just late to the party on finding that out

Oh dear, if that overtracking is true! That would make one have to ask, again: "just when did the PS3 pass the 360?"

That means that it's been ahead and the gap we had between them before was closer to accuracy.

I would say the global numbers we have now are probably right, it's just that the overtracking in USA is balanced out by undertrack elsewhere. The Ltd we have at present for 360 aligns reasonably with MS shipment reports, and any lower for vgc would mean warehouses full of 360s all around the world.

Bitter sweat for Xb one. A fantastic boost from kinectless, but still daylight between it and PS4. Comes down now to consumer perception of which is the more attractive product, technically and aesthetically. However Xb one can live in this 150-200 zone, so kinectless may have done its job well enough for MS to not have to take more drastic action. The only reason for them to do something rash, like cut price to $299 would be if they want to actually win in the USA.

 

WiiU more bitter than sweat. A long way behind in 3rd place, so can't really be happy about the MK8 boost. But a boost is a boost and if it keeps WiiU above 100k per month until the holidays then that's sustainable.

 

Poor vita but at least it's 5 figures.
