I can see the X1 reaching 45-50 million, but I do like how it looks!

Because it looks like a family showing you the FU sign?

You're soooo damn funny, pezus!

Serious question, what are people buying the PS4 for? 10 million sold but software sales do not represent that attach rate. so there are literally hundreds of thousands of PS4s just being used as media devices or blueray players or even collecting dust? Maybe its just hype and was the cool thing to do, the ipod of 2014?

I'm leaning towards it was the ipod of 2014.


They're playing all the games that are on the system. My question is, what the hell are XB1 playing? There's even less on that system.

I seriously wonder about the ps4 fanbase, you guys just make up what every topic to somehow put ps4 on this pedestal. ps4 is in 72 countries worldwide vs 13, even if those other territories were 20-30 thousand units total per week for the XB1 that be a significant difference.

I can't wait for the Holidays when ps4 has no games to compete with FH2, Sunset Overdrive, and Halo MCC.


You mean the holiday Driveclub, LBP3, and TLoU will be selling like crazy?  Yeah I can't wait to see LBP curbstomp the competition either...

Seeling like crazy huh? Maybe if certain people bought more games Sucker Punch wouldn't be facing mass layoffs, but I digress. You guys have more faith in driveclub than sony does, they barely have even showed the game, we have mainly been looking at gifs.

You mean like the "Mass Layoffs" that just happened to MS recently?

It will most likely be pretty even this Winter time. I expect it o even out to be about 1:2.5 or 1:2

WOAH the PS4 is selling less in the SUMMER?! You're blowing my mind man, I can't believe a console would actually sell less in the Summer months. Crazy, it's not like this has been happening every single year since gaming started. Nope I guess PS4 is doomed now. Oh well. 

That's why I was using the Gen 6 consoles as reference. I was asking whether PS4 sales have held their strong performance relative to PS2, and summer doesn't change that consideration.

Think of i this way - PS2:PS4 in launch period, 1:1.15. PS2:PS4 in summer period, 1:0.9

Clearly, relative to PS2, PS4 is experiencing a slowdown. Nothing to do with summer. Of course, the ratios I just gave are just examples.

EDIT: But hey, I'm saying that PS4 isn't doing as well as PS2 now. Clearly I think PS4 is doomed, right?

Don't think I haven't noticed your constant and hilarious attempts to downplay PS4 every chance you get.

I'm not downplaying it at all. Just pointing out actual facts. Perhaps by the end of the year, PS4 will move to a new strength.

Basically, it's not that I'm being biased, it's that the facts themselves are biased.

Oh, and by the way, you only remember the posts I make that see PS4 sales weakening, because it stands out more to you. My argument summarises down to "it's too early to predict where this generation is heading", not "PS4 is going to do worse than it appears".

I can't help but notice that, while you're attacking me, you don't seem to be providing a single counterargument to any actual argument.



Go PS4!

There was no way Xbox was gonna beat PlayStation on a worldwide sales basis if they both released at the same time. I dont think any Xbox fan could say with a straight face, that they expected Xbox to win worldwide sales. To me, the most shocking is the Europe and north American numbers. To see Sony winning those is a shock. However, I still think the north American market is still up for grabs. I think Xbox fall lineup is stronger than Sony's so hopefully that will drive sales. I also see quite a few friends on my 360 friends list that have yet to upgrade and im wondering which one they will choose. I think the majority of people forget that this generation is just getting started. The majority of gamers haven't decided which system to choose. Now evidence suggests that ps4 will be the winner but I think Xbox will be fine and do better than most people think. Too many doom and gloom threads IMO.

Back when it was still called Durango there were certainly straight faced Xbox fans wo said Nextbox would win USA and UK easily and would further close the Eurogap to give Durango the global lead. I think even after the Xbox 180 there were fans who thought that was enough for Xb one to win the generation. Even now there are people who think Xbox one can pull it back and at least get more or less even with PS4.

Me, I thought this generation would see all the consoles within the 30-40% market share range but PS4 would be the higer selling console. But when Wii U failed to fire and MS totally screwed up the pre-launch, the hardware and the design of the box itself it did seem like PS4 would win with a big margin. But 3:1 I would not have picked. 2:1 yes I could have seen that as possible. 

Given PS2:Xb1 was 6:1 (probably more like 4:1 when Xb1 stopped selling to be fair) then 3:1 now seems like it is possible long term. But I think maybe MS might manage to do something to bring it back and we could end up with a 2:1 situation.
