50% marketshare WW for PS4 is getting closer and closer!

but wasnt it 49% the week of december 6 and now its 48% :/ oh well the PS4 will get a big boost on 2015 so it will get it eventually.


It will happen.  Its turning into a two console gen, so its inevitable.

More like a 1 console gen

And if you discount the WiiU the PS4 has a 63% marketshare. 


I understand why Sony didn't do a pricecut for holidays. No need when the gap is getting larger.

X1 really turned around the holiday season for them selves.


Globally in the USA.  


And that's all the X1 needs.

The domination of the homeland is priority, everything else is secondary or not important~~

I think it's showing that : PS4 is going to Worldwide Domination when Xbox One only try to have US.

Made sense.

Domination is one thing it will not achieve. That's pretty much guaranteed. Even if it ends up selling more than PS4 it will not be by that big of a margin. And even selling more than PS4 is far from assured. 2 months of solid sales does not win you the generation. 2015 is really the crunch year.

And you are dead wrong with everywhere else being unimportant. There are many franchises that do much better outside the USA. If Xb one is doing poorly in those markets then PS4 will have a very easy time of obtaining exclusive deals, and even game exclusivity. And this could effectively put Xb one into a death spiral. That would also then give Sony leverage on franchises that are globally popular, which then puts it at an advantage in the USA. Thus making the home territory fairly fragile. Xbox cannot survive on the USA alone.

Oh yeah! Well ugh... The X1 will prove you wrong, all of you!

You'll see, you'll see! D:

GO 3DS! Still able to keep up with the newer machines despite being in its 4th year.

hilarious.... but alas untrue.

but yes the second part of your post proves my point, its easier to gte 50% this gen and wont mean as many sales... nowhere near.

to illustrate... 50% last gen you would need to have sold 140m plus by now.  What do you think the PS4 will end at?

It was just a joke, chillax.

But to answer your question, I think PS4 will end 100-120m depending on how long this gen lasts. 



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

When will VGChartz update the other numbers?

so if PS4 sells only 120M this gen and ends it with over 50% market share its nowhere near anything and hence not an achievement?

So consoles are diminishing massively then.

I'd guess you would say... 120 max for PS4, 30 max for WiiU and 60 max for ONE?

210m v 270m plus this gen.

 

Of course. Last gen was largely inflated by the Wii userbase who have now moved on to smartphones/tablets/etc.
