PS4 and Xbox One ‘Won’t Hit Their Peak For Years’ – Analyst
The Daily Star recently talked to Michael Olson, an expert in the industry who works for Piper Jaffray thinks the consoles haven’t hit their peak. “The console cycle is in its third year and investors are beginning to ask if we are nearing the ‘peak’ of this cycle. While some that own these stocks for the ‘cycle trade’ may be selling, we believe there are arguments to be made that consistent growth will come over the next several years and an ongoing mix shift towards digital that will drive margins higher.” Olson said.
The analyst is pointing to the fact that the PS4 and Xbox One have combined to sell somewhere in the neighborhood of 60 million units. He said that’s way ahead of where the last generation was and that in turn is a sign of just how healthy the current generation is. While all of this is still conjecture, it appears good things are still in store for both the PS4 and Xbox One.

I look back and I prefer my xbox 360 to my xbox one, it was so much basic. Think they're getting ahead of themselves on technology.

The price for them isn't that high and they tend to always have some sort of deals going on.
If you think $350 for a console is expensive you probably have other things to be worrying about

Prices aren't that bad nowadays, I picked mine up at £350 for a 1TB HDD, White Console and Black Ops 3. Worth it in my eyes.

So true. Prices are so high when they eventually fall they will give more people a chance to buy!
