With the recent announcement of 20.2m sold, and VGC making the adjustment to their charts, the PS4's marketshare for the 8th gen of home consoles jumped to 49.1%
Now, in the knowledge that PS4 has to sell more than Wii U and X1 combined to increase its own share of the market, when (or if not, if you predict that it won't any time soon) do you think this will happen?
We have seen now that The Order has spiked PS4 sales by a modest amount despite being reviewed poorly and bad PR pre-launch, Bloodborne should have at least the same effect, although probably a stronger effect because it already has established fans from Demon's and Dark Souls games.
Bloodborne alone will not be enough though. This is why I predict that the 50% marketshare milestone will happen mid to late May, after the cumulative effects of multiplats such as big The Witcher 3, Batman: Arkham Knight, and also Project Cars to a lesser extent. I think Battlefield Hardline will have a similar effect on X1 sales so this will not help PS4 marketshare. I also think that Tropico 5 won't have a measurable effect on sales (But I will be getting it!)
This is a sales discussion article, not for people to say "meh, 'X' game sucks" or whatever. But I would be very interested in what you think about the subject of the thread, after all, there are more experienced people than me when it comes to predictions/analysis.
