Sooooo is a lot of people saying that the Wii U will be counted in the "Wii, PS3 and 360" market share?

I'm going to be an optimist and say "Yes, absolutely! Within the first year!" Fact of the matter is, though, until we know exactly what NX is, these are must baseless assumptions. This thread is just a few months too soon.

 

Don't worry. I'll make another thread once the NX starts going. I just like to see from what people's perspective right now on NX's future. Im sure everyone here has their own expectations, and predictions on what they want the NX to be/to have. 

 

And its nice to see what people's thoughts before and then to the present.

Damn, I see what you're doing! I guess we can expect to see crow on the menu again real soon!

It's not impossible.




Dr.Vita talks about Playstation Vita in 2016!
Playstation Vita Media Create Sales (2014 vs 2015 vs 2016)
Playstation Vita Japan Retail Software Sales (2013 vs 2014 vs 2015 + 2015 LTD Edition)
Prediction: Nothing will outsell PSP anymore (except Playstation home consoles)

I can't speak for VGChartz but I would assume by the time the NX is out, they won't even be tracking the Wii/PS3/360 considering the Xbox 360 has been officially discontinued, the Wii hasn't been tracked in months and the PS3 being on its way out. Even if the Wii U is included in the PS4/Xbox One/NX marketshare, sales of the Wii U would be even more dismal by March 2017 than they are now that it wouldn't even pose a threat really.

Many are waiting on the NX, there will also be a lot of people who will just end up buying a PS4 instead, Xbox has lost a lot of momentum at this point, with uncharted this month, persona5 and FF 15 in japan this year and Horizon this or next year for the western sales, the PS4 sales are about to explode.

50% will remain or exceed.

It's not that. Of course the XBox One will continue to sell after the NX comes out. It is the fact that the Wii U will essentially be exempt from the marketshare once the NX comes out(VGChartz did not blend PS3/360 sales into the Wii U/PS4/Xbox One sales) so in essence the PS4 and Xbox One marketshare will automatically rise by default once the NX is factored into the equation and the Wii U is exempt. It will be the NX which will start off at a tiny percentage and have to battle it out.

Let's also not forget to the PS4 continues to outsell the Xbox One by pretty much 100%(double) weekly worldwide so the PS4 is constantly taking up more and more marketshare despite the Xbox One still selling.


True enough. Though if we want to do that... We could argue that the NX has 100% of the sales for gen 9 -_- Just saying xD

But other than that yes, the PS4 feels like an unstoppable force at times >.<

Since the NX will be dead on arrival: Yes, PS4 will keep its 50-60% market share.

The Nintendo gamers optimisme here reminds men of YouTube but Yeah, NX might or may not being q massive break-through but if it follows the samme pattern with games as WiiU, No
