Day 1? LOL the highest to date wasn't even 2.5 million and it cost 150 less than PS4. It's going to take more than PC ports and rehashed IPs to convince the masses to back what is clearly in inferior product to the PC.

Day one.

That is ridiculous.

By the end of the first week, sure, but there's no way it will do it on launch day.



By March 2014.

Not only will it never pass it but it will be Sony lowest selling console to date. The problem with PS4 is that its not something the mainstream audience is going to want to deal with. Having extra hidden charges to access any form of online and designing it to look like a Wii upgrade ( my opinion but anyone who looks at the PS4 standing up against a Wii and claims they look nothing a like has some serious blinders on. is going to really hurt them.

I don't care how many Sony fans (mods or not. Yeah you know who are Mr even suggesting Nintendo beat E3 is extreme trolling with no basis.) don't agree with me. It's as valid a point as any other being put fourth. It's going to be the Vita all over again when consumers see they have to pay an extra 50( or whatever it costs) each year just to access the internet in any way.

I wish I could find it again but one guy named Movie Bob brought up some valid points that Sony's first two wins were just flukes created by a vacuum in the market. I agree because since then they have lost all focus and seem intent on emulating their competitors rather than do their own things.

Aren't you the guy that I already corrected about that?

Don't underestimate the power of Sony fans.



Nintendo and PC gamer

Well I think sales by the end of this year will be Wii U-7.5m, PS4-2.5m and both will sell around 10m in 2014. So by the end of next year Wii U still having a 5m lead. Id say end of 2015-early 2016

I guess...I could see it...if PS4 was white, smaller, had an obvious disc drive, no blue light, no split in the middle, was shiny all around and had buttons that look like they belong on something Fisher Price

And dont forget the name Wii/PS4 are very similar and people will think there the same.

Don't waste your time. I already told him that was incorrect the other day but he's still pretending it's true.
