The only console that has a chance to reach its predecessor is the PS4. The PS4 is too big for the XBone to take on without a lot of special deals (not to mention the PS4 sells in Japan), and the rest of consoles are showing the reducction of the market.
I'm pretty shocked the DS is still moving that much software.
| Teeqoz said: And PS4 retail software is overtracked as well (apparently 81 million total, including digital as of 2nd january). |
January 4th I think.
To even get an idea of how accurate the numbers are, we would need to know the percentage of digital sales, and roughly how many millions of copies of software sit at retail.

They announced 81.8m to Jan 4 including digital.
Research shows Video games help make you smarter, so why am I an idiot
It still seems logical that the previous install base still outnumbers the current, there's still more people out there that haven't made the jump to current gen yet so I'd still expect to see high sales for the previous gen, give it at least another year or more until they discontinue software for the previous gen and more sales will generate shortly after for current gen.
Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
Not surprising since there's a much larger install base on last gen and cross-gen games are still a thing.

PS Vita?
| Shadow1980 said: Uh, this is normal, dude. Attach rates are always lower when a system first comes out, plus the install base is lower. Besides, the PS4 is stacking up quite well compared to seventh-gen systems, outclassing the 360 & PS3 and not being too far behind the Wii (and the Wii had the advantage of every system being bundled with Wii Sports, plus many Wiimotes being bundled with Wii Play). Here's end-2006 and end-2007 sales to compare where 360, PS3, and Wii software sales were at the end of their first full calendar year:
The PS4's 60+ million isn't looking so bad now, is it? Even the XBO compares favorably to where the 360 was at this point in its life. |
Cool, thank you! :D
What do you expect?
