Millions. Perhaps dozen of millions. Personally I think fifty.

I definitely agree, PS4 will be frontloaded. I expect a similar sales beheavior to GTA 5. Half of the total sales in the first week.

It's the hype, man.

The hype.

Where's the < 1m option? I know everyone's hyped, but no console has ever come close to 1m in FW sales. It's a supply/production issue. Even if they could ship enough units (they can), they won't. It MIGHT break 1mil but I highly doubt it. Realistically, 750k would be huge.

Sony has over 1mil in preorders and have stated they will supply more than that on launch.

it doesn't launch everywhere FW though. Maybe 800k FW in US?

Well, it is all supply constrained, im guessing they will have a max of 3 to 4 million units for the entire holiday period, of which they will stagger their shipments to keep supply moving. So first week, my guess is they will have somehwere between 700k and 1.3 million available to purchase. It will of course sell out, so it just depends how much quantity they have available...

Not saying it's not possible, but not all preorders are for day one. Amazon was selling preorders with aproximate fullfillment dates well after 11/15. Sony also said they wern't putting all of them up for preorder so on launch day you still had a chance to get one. I have no doubt they have well over a million preorders, but how many will be fullfilled the FW nobody knows. I hope ps4 players will have as much fun as I will have with my XB1. Great times ahead for gamers on both sides of the divide:)

I guess you made some pretty accurate predictions.
