Maybe if it has a long lifecycle and the Neo does well, it can pass the PS1. It might have trouble otherwise. But I don't know how the PS4 can get anywhere close to the PS2. It would have to dominate the console market up through 2023 or so.



My friend is a Vtuber, check him out.

Na the Ps4 will never be 99pesos and still not hacked fugget it



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

Unlikely even if PS4 is getting more popular in small countries.
And Neo will fail.



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

It is amazing how many people think this platform is going to have trouble passing the PS2. This is a completely different ball game, and a much larger market.PlayStation is no longer in the traditional console business. PlayStation is now part of the Optimized PC/Smart Device market.

Neo is just the start of new devices running on the PlayStation OS. There will be many more PlayStation OS devices launched in the future, all of which will add to the PS4 or PlayStation userbase. As, some other members have been saying, the days of starting over at Zero are over. Sony knows this as well, and that is why they built PS4 as a scalable platform, which will be supported for many, many more years that a traditional console.

PS4 will be the first console to sell 200M over its multiple itterations, and it will most likely be the first 300M console as well. Don't be surpised if wee see a handheld/phone based on the PS4 tech, in the next year or two, along with a tablet/laptop to round out the offerings. Sony is creating their version of iOS built around gaming, and entertainment, and they know they need 100's of millions of users across multiple device, in a unified ecosystem, if they want to stay relevient. So far they are making all of the right moves.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

PC gaming as it is is only alive thanks to consoles. Otherwise, the only genres people would be playing are MMOs - mostly Chinese MMOs. Just to clarify - games are being created mostly because of how many consoles gamers are out and then these games get ported to PC. This expands the PC library which brings in more players.

How do you know this?

He is obviously not a PC gamer. Otherwise he would know better.

Yeah, I'm doubtful considering plenty of PC games flourish on PC without the need for consoles. Loads of successful franchises get their start on PC. FPS games are very popular on consoles and yet the genre got its start on PC.

Well he is right though, without the size of the console market it would either be a slow ass industry lacking the money to further graphics or scope, no matter the power of the PC. Steam would not exist in it current formand Imagine pitching GTA5 to a boardroom full of suits to the score of 250+billion budget with the user base of that of the PC before steam....lol.

Plenty of games say otherwise.
PC still has the most expensive platform exclusive game of all time... And it's not on Steam.

PC has always been massive, even before Steam, especially in Asia.

Probably not, though I do think PS4 sales will be inflated now because you're going to have a lot of PS4.5 double dippers so the end result will look higher even if the unique users isn't.
