Forums - Gaming - Front loaded Generation... What does that even mean?

 

PS4 and XB1 front loaded?

Yes 31 36.05%
 
No 22 25.58%
 
Too early to say 33 38.37%
 
Total:86

Honestly, I miss the top-loaders like the PS3 Super Slim, much more reliable than a Superdrive.

They'll peak earlier. What they'll peak at remains to be seen. But with the Japanese market pretty much dead(Not sure if DQPS4 and FF will revive PS4) and noone filling in for the huge gap the Wii left, I doubt this gen will reach close to the sales of last gen, which took a while to hit their stride as well. This gen wont go on as long either I think.

PS4 is doing well right now, but honestly I'm not sure how much of that is attributed to Wii U flopping miserably, Xbox One fumbling out the gate, last gen going on abnormally long and people craved for a new gen, or it just being better overall which contributed to its success.

We'll see if it can maintain that momentum and expand its audience and sales in the coming years.

Hate to say it but your right. The passive aggressivness from them is ridiculous.

They are front loaded. You insert the discs through a front loaded slot.

This is so bad and so good at the same time that I just don't know what to say. xD

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

All the arguments here for why the generation is possibly front loaded have made sense and haven't been conjured by people known for being Nintendo fans. I don't see the passive aggressiveness you're talking about. Just facts. I honestly don't understand where you're pulling this bullshit from.



I bet the Wii U would sell more than 15M LTD by the end of 2015. He bet it would sell less. I lost.
