Go the PS4 it has now sold over 40 million system. The PS4 is the greatest system ever.
i still dont think PS4 will beat global sales of PS3. sales will drop off or slow down massively when it hits 60 million. this gen has a whole is a massive decline from last gen.
So your saying sales will be flat start of 2017?
I dont know... 2016 has so many big games releaseing, I think people will have more reason than ever to get one. PS4 Neo will force the normal version drastically down in price too, why would that make 2017 sales bad?
