[QUOTE="Janx, post: 6144934, member: 8835"] So it looks like sony probably has a 2:1 lead on pre-orders (I just made that up, using guesstimation from the prior post). I'd be curious if we could isolate for "die hard" fans who are going to buy their favorite vendor, no matter what, versus folks who will switch platforms as the wind blows. From the PS1-PS3 era, I was inclined to stick with Sony because of the BC. It was a non-issue to simply trade in the old console towards payment on the new console, and be able to keep playing. the steeper $600 price on the PS3 made me wait a year until I could get the original 60GB model for $500. Of which I traded in my older stuff I didn't need and paid maybe a couple hundred for it. But by the time I got my PS3, I'd already gotten a 360, because everybody else jumped ship from PS2 to 360 because the PS3 was a year late to the game and way too expensive. Given the complete lack of BC on either box, there's no synergy bonus for staying with Sony or MS on the new generation. At best, your online subscription will carry over to cover the old box and the new box. I was surprised to see that PS3 sales seem to have caught up to 360 sales (everybody I know has a 360, very few have PS3). I would bet the number of die hards is equal, and the PS4 extra sales are converts (folks who own 360, but are rebelling against the MS pricing/use game situation). [/QUOTE]
