Yes, also the 3DS must have outsold the Vita something like that.

OG XB was not only more powerful it was also easier to develop for than the PS2. 

True - PS2 had the best exclusives back then (GTAIII etc). But that's what I meant by it being an old fashioned way of moving hardware. It hasn't worked since the PS2 days. I think if you launched something that much more powerful than a PS4 now and marketed it right (another one of Nintendo's weak points) you could do really well. Also, just like the OG XB, they'd be behind the 8-ball by launching so much later than the PS4. I doubt they can outsell it, but they can do so much better than the Wii U.


Youd be shit out of luck doing that, if its not called PS you are starting form 6 feet under.

Sony:
“PlayStation 4 is the top selling console in the United States during the month of November according to NPD. We have hit several key milestones over the last few weeks. Prior to Black Friday, we announced we have sold through more than 30.2 million PS4s to consumers around the world and that PS4 continues to exhibit the fastest growth in PlayStation hardware history. In addition, Black Friday sales were the strongest in PlayStation history demonstrating more people game now than ever before. We are also pleased to announce November was the biggest month ever for PlayStation Store indicating a strong digital marketplace complementing healthy retail sales.”

WOW! Thankyou for not mentioning the Vita again!!!!!
Its like SONY is forgetting this child they made!

It seems that way... and thats just the USA (where nintendo is most popular).

In other parts of the world, the differnce is probably much higher than 6:1 ratio.

One of those feats is impressive the other isn't. 

 

EDIT FOR MODS: page 17 in this thread is broken.  I'm on 25 posts per page btw.

Judging from Vgchartz

3DS: 360 000

Vita: 20 000 

3DS wins by 18:1  ----> Tripple than PS4:WiiU

Problem is you're judging from Vgchartz.  They weren't very accurate for the ps4 this month?  Vita TV had a huge sale so the ratio is nothing like that.  But again the ps4 sales are insane the 3DS are not.

No. Contrary to what people think,power doesn't mean anything to the mass market. What's important to them is price and what their friends have. And the reason we no longer see their part exclusives isn't cause its an old fashioned way of moving consoles. Its cause games became that much more expensive to make. Publishers had to get their money from wherever they could. 

The more the PS4s gap over the XB1 increases the more likely we start seeing more and more games being console exclusive to the PS4. Nintendo NX will fail if Nintendo doesn't get every major third party game on their console. The mass market isn't going to buy your console just for exclusives, rather they would buy it cause in addition to the exclusives, they get everything else. So look at it this way, no GTA6, COD...etc. Nintendo will be dead on arrival. unless they somehow pull off another Wii stunt.
