If sony ships enough hardware, they will hit that number

Wii didn't sell that much because Wii was having stock issues

Delusional prediction.

I think 6 million is possible. I think that the PS4 will get a Worldwide first week of around 1.5 million systems.

It would need to sell over 1million a month and this is impossible. Even if the demand was there I doubt sony would be able to satisfy the demand. And the demand will not be there. Ppl need not to forget that the thing is 400$, even a 250$ Wii that was extremely popular could'nt sell as much so I can't understand why so many Sony fans are expecting such huge number from a 400$ console.

It will have a extremely strong launch, it will remain strong till the end of the year thx to the holyday (but nowhere near 1million a month), and then it will slow down drastically thx to a software drought that every consoles eventualy get shortly after launch (but will still outsell WiiU).

I have a special gif for these kind of theads.

If it launches in October, late October, it should sell...2.5-3mil come the end of the year, maybe 3.5 max. Saying it will double that is, to me, crazy.

But there you are.

The Wii U launching in mid November managed 2.2 mil. Getting above that shouldn't be too hard.

Sounds reasonable. But it all also depends on how many units they ship.

Back in 2005 and 2006 the launch numbers were miniscule, like 1.5 million for a whole Holiday season. Compared to an ordinary PS3 or X360 Holiday in the gen that's a pathetic number.

I think this time there will be much much more supply, for both PS4 and Xbone. But how much, that is the question.

I think 4 million PS4s would be wonderful (and perhaps +2 mill Xbones), nextgen would start with a bang. This would be so good for all the devs making launch window software.

you're predictable.

stating that wii u will only sell another 3 million on the next 4 and a half months (wich include the holidays and LOTS of exclusives coming) is plain wrong. it may even sell those 3 million on december alone.

stating ps4 will sell 6-7 millions in that time period is reaaaly wrong. it's unheard of any console to even have that much systems available near launch, let alone sell it all.

stating both of those things is just double wrong.

getting above that was not the point of the topic.
