PS4 = New PS2
-
So we all know the PS2 sold very well. At this time I think it's still one of Sony's most sold home console. Sony had sold so many that Sony didn't want to abandon that market. They would make PS2 versions of games even for games what were made for the next gen like PS3. I think that the same thing might happen to PS4. I think they all ready have sold 100 million.
How many years do you give the PS4 even after the PS5 comes out sold next to the next gen ?
I give it maybe 3-4 years.

That bad boy just wouldn't die ;)

If they wanted to sell more PS4's they would drop the price. PS3 was cheaper at this time.

Oh I'm sure that price will drop soon. For sure it will drop like a rock in late 2020.

Other than cross-gen Ghost of Tsushima, I don't think any 1st party game will ever come again to PS4.
-
The jumps are getting worthless and barely noticeable for me now so I'd be happy holding on to the PS4 for some time to come. There was an awful lot of cross gen games for PS3/PS4 and even then the differences were rather minimal. I expect even more from the next cross over, especially now that this generation was the first to introduce a half way step up with the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X.

@scotty The PS2 was getting new games up until 2013.
Publishers aren't going to ignore a 100+ million install base just because some new hardware is released.
-
I didn't say anything about publishers. I was just talking about ''exclusive games''. If anything from 1st party studios come to the PS4/Pro you can quote me on this.

Yeah cuz the Publisher and developers know it's a huge install base.

i dont see there being any 1st party exclusives but i can see companys like NIS Xseed and Falcom releaseing ps4 games well into the ps5s life
-
still have to beat the DS and Game boy sales before PS4 can even think about beating PS2 sales
-
@yoshi ps2 is like 155mil isnt it?
-
@ff7cloud according the VGChartz PS2 sold 157.68 million total
The Nintendo DS sold 154.90 million
and the Game Boy has sold 118.69 million units.Hell according to this platform total chart the PS4 is still behind the Wii and the PS1 sales as well
-
@yoshi i think they talked on a easy allies podcast that it passed the ps1 here recently
-
This thread it's not only about hardware sales. It's really about the support it will get. Oh and PS4 surpassed PS1 sales all ready. I'm not so sure how accurate your source is.

If devs and pubs keep porting games for the ps4 for many years that would nice.

PS2 lasted longer because Sony had to compensate the disappointment of PS3 launch, selling PS2 at a very cheap price and with more games geared towards kids like EyeToy Astro Zoo.
So how long PS4 will last? depends on how good is PS5.
