Cool job that they allow you to keep your 3 piece gaming pc under your desk, grats.
Old enough i guess. ^^
Hint: It´s not about the Mhz
Pls show me a common PC from 1994 which could run something like Grand Turismo
Pls show me a common PC from 1996 which could run something like OoT
Pls show me a common PC from 2001 which could run something like Rogue Leader
Pls show me a common PC from 2005 which could run GTAV
Pls show me a common PC from 2014 with equal processing power than the new consoles. Oh wait there is. Actually already in 2012/13
Point is: Consoles were dedicated chips with immense R&D behind it. They were ahead. High end (PC) machines were always close behind or about to be released soon after. You had to wait to get similar performance as a 360 out of a PC card. Not for long, sure, but the price was immense. The new situation is the out of the shelf hardware from modern consoles. There is far less "learning" and "coding to the metal" than before. There was already better stuff avaible for cheap even before launch. And thats new. Unprecedented. And no "lol how old are you, hurr durr" will change that. ^^
It´s called having a job. Not bailing. Google it.
Sorry for the misunderstanding. I am going to use the excuse that I am at work rather than be truthful and state that my reading comprehension are sometimes that of a 6 year old.Again, your not understanding...that was all they stocked! They sold out! They could never feasibly hit that number your suggesting without SE stocking that much to begin with in the first week
Nothing brings the salt like PS4 sales.
DAMN!
Some serious hating going on in here now.
What happened? The thread was civil yesterday.

What does it put into perspective? It's two industries that overlap in some areas, but not in others. It's a bit reductive to just throw numbers next to each other.46m - Number of dedicated home and portable consoles sold in 2014*

Really puts these console sales figures into perspective. 33x bigger market in 2014.
The success of the PS4 compared to previous consoles really is something else. It outsold the Wii in it's first 12 months and continues to show strong sell through into its second year. It's doing much better compared to last gen.
Last Gen Vs Current Gen! (Aligned launches)
CURRENT GEN
PS4 CY2013- 4.50m
PS4 CY2014- 15.40m
Total: 19.90m
XOne CY 2013- 3.90m
XOne CY 2014- ~7.60m+
Total: 11.50m-12.50m (based on estimates)
WiiU CY2012- 3.06m
WiiU CY2013- 2.80m
Total: 5.86m
Cumulative total: 37.25m - 38.25m
LAST GEN
PS3 CY2006- 1.86m
PS3 CY2007- 8.85m
Total: 10.71m
X360 CY2005- 1.50m
X360 CY2006- 8.90m
Total: 10.40m
Wii CY2006- 3.19m
Wii CY2007- 16.95m
Total: 20.14m
Cumulative total: 41.25m
The above shows total sell in for first two calender years for both last gen and current gen consoles. Hence why Xbox 360 starts in 2005 and PS3 starts in 2006.

The uses of a smartphone/tablet encompasses the Internet, phone calls, texting, email and photography. Your initial comparison is bizzare. Of course the market for smartphones is 33x larger. It's a multifaceted portable device versus a device dedicated to really one thing.Gaming is the most popular application category on Mobile. It's estimated that mobile revenues for gaming will exceed traditional console software revenues in 2016.
PC gaming revenues have already exceeded console gaming revenues.
It puts into perspective how much bigger the opportunity is for gaming on Mobile over Console.

Why not include PCs and laptops in your console/handheld tally while you're having fun. They tend to play the same types of games as the consoles.46m - Number of dedicated home and portable consoles sold in 2014*

Oh come on! :|Being a PC gamer I keep seeing Microsoft and Sony making games exclusive and punishing gamers who wish not to downgrade to a console. MIcrosoft and Sony obviously pay to have PC releases to have problems and bad optimization in hopes of converting gamers, which is very disappointing and is a cancer on the growth of gaming as a whole.
Don't speak the truth like that.
There will be butthurt.
Imagine a world where Apple sells more mobile gaming consoles in 3 months than Nintendo sells over 3 years and I'd say, "Welcome to reality!"
Why not include PCs and laptops in your console/handheld tally while you're having fun. They tend to play the same types of games as the consoles.
Not really when you consider what types of games are most popular in mobile and PC gaming. Console gaming and numerous devs are attuned to a very different set of games.
lol, this thread.
Impressive numbers, made all the more impressive when you consider they haven't released a Gran Turismo, Uncharted or God of War game yet.

I don't remember having much trouble with the basic mechanics. I heard the AI gets harder later on, but that doesn't make the game as deep as something like Wipeout.
It's an absolute insult to compare the difficulty of DriveClub to Wipeout.
There is no way in hell you have seen somebody play Wipeout HD for the first time without assists and not have major problems. That's a lie.
I don't think it would really matter for how it's selling right now, but how much longer was the Wii on the Japanese market as compared to the PS4?Code:[U]Wii *shipments to retailers* until 2008-03-31:[/U] Japan: 5.9 million Outside Japan: 18.55 million Americas: 10.61 million Others1: 7.94 million Total: 24.45 million [U]PS4 *sales to consumers* until 2015-03-01:[/U] Japan: 1.2 million Outside Japan: 19 million US: ??

Ok ok i get it haha.
My point is that total smartphone sales are growing each year, as is the gaming market on smartphones. (Note, the actual number of phones/tablets shipped exceeded 2.1 billion but I only put 1.5 billion as the other 0.6 billion was dumb/feature phones that don't really play games).
In terms of revenue, using data from 3 market research organisations, we can see that mobile revenue continues to grow at a very fast rate whilst console revenue growth has slowed and could potentially decline in 2016 onwards if projections come true. Mobile gaming revenue is set to exceed $35 billion in 2017 making it larger than the console gaming market.
Seems like you're right haha.
316 million units sold in 2014.
I'm not saying console is dead. Console is still doing very well.
What I'm saying is that mobile is growing at such a fast rate that total revenues will exceed that of total console revenues soon.
But the console market is still doing well.

Can you show a source for where PC gaming software revenue has exceeded Console software?Gaming is the most popular application category on Mobile. It's estimated that mobile revenues for gaming will exceed traditional console software revenues in 2016 or 2017.
