Forums - Gaming - Where the heck did Nvidia get these numbers from?

They're predicting end of year sales. Anyway it just highlights what an absolute beast ps4 is. So much better than ps3 last gen and x1 doing good vs 360.

So much for console gaming dying and everyone going pc/mobile!!

Who said everyone was going PC/mobile?. Though a hell of a lot of people are gaming on mobile going by the data we've been getting over the last few years. 



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.

The same type of people who said pc gaming was dead or dying.

That's confusing because throughout the years those that said PC gaming was dying/dead were those who at the same time mentioned how they gamed on consoles and said that wasn't dying.

This same apparent group that thinks all sides are dying must be a mysterious group with virtually no purpose if they have none to just look at numbers and claim something is dying.

These are sales forecast for the end of 2016, not current sellin/sell through numbers.

But also, this is an NVidia slide. They wouldn't know the real numbers anyway since the hardware in current gen consoles comes from AMD, not NVidia. It's just an educated estimate.

I said the same type of people.  Not the same people.  Pay attention to the little details! 



Well they will have a hard time showing evidence

Azzanation: "PS5 wouldn't sold out at launch without scalpers."

So this is just what Nvidia thinks will be sold by end of year... that makes sense.

This. 

And don't forget that this in Nvidia. If consoles were a person then Nvidia would be the perosn that murders him

I love how they compare individual pieces of hardware to an entire category of devices - way to fudge stats :)

Yep.  It is nVidia after all.  They are very salty about not being in any console.  Though, they have themselves to blame.
