Next year ps4 is going to catch up
It's going to start closing the gap, but it won't catch up in one year.
I guess this is the turning point where Wii started to seriously slow down, meaning PS4 is going be closing the gap from here on out.
Well, the Wii still sold 17 million Units in it's 4th year, so the change this year should be minimal. Only starting next year will the PS4 really catch up, as the Wii will start to drop fast by then
Will there also be a Switch vs Wii comparison Chart?
Is already happening
Thx Ryng, didn't see that one
the first 2018-quarter the PS4 will break new records! Thanks the JRPG-Dream Ni No Kuni 2, the biggest Monster Hunter World-Game ever, Red Dead Redemption 2 and maybe Detroit Become Human. This Christmas will also be very exciting.
Now that Switch is on the scene I suspect PS4 will start to level off
Probably not. God of War, Last of Us 2, Red Dead Redemption 2, Final Fantasy 7, Kingdom Hearts 3, Spyro Remaster, and other quality titles I can't think of. Oh yeah Shadow of the Colossus and GT Sports going to kill in Europe. Probably more Sly games, Horizon was huge.. probably more of that, I'm sure another GTA, Oh Dang... PUBG, another Souls/Borne game, probably Sly, what is insomniac doing??
