a bridge to far.
Unless the PS4 reaches 99$ at some point in its life, PS2-DS numbers are going to be too much for it. Considering the PS5 is rather close, PS3 will peak around the 130m.
I'm thinking around the same, like 120 - 125
So, early in it's third year the DS took the lead. What impresses me though, is that even now, after nearly six years, the DS still has the stronger momentum. Usually it is said that Nintendo consoles peak early and Sony consoles have a long tail. Seems not the case here.
DS is still running away at this point. There’s no chance.
They could jump that shark if PS4 was $100. But I don't think it'll happen.
DS will sell 24M units until its end of life, PS4 should sell about the same. The gap is expected to flatten out in future months and not to shrink in favour of PS4.
