Anyone else notice how so far total software sales are half of what they were last year and that the PS4 is the only console selling games but only by 2% more compared to last year? How about those hardware sales - nothing is selling, everything is at a 30% minus (going over 40) compared to last year and least we forget AAA games need to sell over 3 mil copies to start making money (which they are not apart from cod, gta, fifa and fallout).
Looking at what Sony and MS are offering for 2016 (still nothing groundbreaking), is next year going to be the deciding year for current gen consoles and for this generation overall?
This gen was over and outdated before it started
The majority of video game consumers dont care about FPS or geometry. This gen looks like last gen. People are tired of paying $400 to play the new halo when master chief looks just like he did in halo 2

Software is selling better than any gen before, the year hasn't even ended yet, the PS4 will probably hit 35million units by the end of the year after Christmas

actually software is selling worse than 2010.
630k vs 270k

This.
the new consoles were not giant leaps forward compared to there past gen counterparts.

Try end of year 2008 vs end of year 2015
The fact that Vgchartz still has the PS4 at 28million units should tell you how off it tends to be.

the lack of games doesn't help either
only reason i even bought a next gen console was to play arkham knight otherwise i wouln't have even bothered to buy the console.
