6mil will happen, Believe!



Did the guy who wrote the article read my mind? A lot of what is said resonates strongly with gaming right now.

But it is also kind of foolish to write this just before E3 when Sony COULD announce and release something amazing this year.

As for Splatoon selling 6 million? ....nah, max 3 mill but more realistically 1.5mill.

While the reasons he gave for showing faith in Xbone are fairly tame I do agree that Microsoft have been doing quite a bit to get back into the market.

Theres things he is right on and others that not so much.

Its true that Sony's first party efforts have been lackluster and the way they dropped the Vita intolerable, but i dont see how Sony is the Microsoft of a couple of years ago. Microsoft is still the same, and he himself proves it in the end by saying Halo5, forza6, gears4. All sequals. Microsoft has not left their reliance on just a few usual suspects every year.

But, what annoys me is that they were the first and foremost responsable party for the Vita's fate. After launch they just didnt believe anymore and undermined the portable. They should at least be financing all the localisations that the fans are requesting. God eater 2, tales of innocence R, digimon, etc. Get those games to the west and green light that second uncharted bend wasnted to make and finish it off with Gravity Rush 2 and Gran turismo. Do it for the fans that supported your product more than you yourself Sony. At least go out with a bang.



The fact that people are taking this seriously is troubling.



Is this Satire? lol!



I do agree with him that Sonys first party titles largely failed to come close to their hype apart from Bloodborne and The Last of Us (which is also on PS3). I wouldn't call it sucking though, more like underwhelming.

As for Splatoon, he's right that he can't be more wrong than Pachter, although that's hardly an achievement. 6 Millions sound exessive, but let's wait and see, maybe it's the next big IP from Nintendo with sales on par with Kart and Smash. We'll know more about this after launch. I hope he's right on that one, but fear it will fall short of that prediction.

@OP: where did you find that article? Or are you that Sebastian Kramer in the end?



Splatooon will sell 1,5M-2,0M max imo



...Let the Sony Domination continue with the PS4...
