Imagine PS4 after 3 years on the market with a good line up of games, a price cut and having sold over 40 million units? The PS4 has future potential and early adopters pay a premium for a new product.


By the end 2016 PS4 should have been able reach 55-60 million.


To be specific, PS4 will have sold between 47.3 & 58.9 million by the end of 2016 compared to 16.7 & 25.9 mil for XB1

20.5 Million No Games sold that is impressive.

Yeah, most PS4 owners bought three copies of the only game available on the PS4. They were that desperate for games, or maybe Knack was just that good.

On a more serious note: the attach rate is getting close to 3. I hope it keeps growing.



Attention those in the debate with Walsufnir.


If you read his post carefully, he was indeed mocking N4G, not PS fans overall. However, Walsunir, you need to be careful in your wording with statements like that. They are very easy to misconstrue and it may be worth your time to more carefully construct the post to ensure your meaning is adequately conveyed, lest you find yourself in another barrage of attacks.



The rEVOLution is not being televised

some people seem surprised at why anyone would buy a PS4,Gen 7 had what over 250m partakers,
the early gen 8 loyalists are in for around 18m,sony didn't manage to balls up the gen 8 launch and have levelled market share back in the US/UK

even with massive unmanageable debt and going out of business sometime soon doesn't mean sony can't win a final console war

Wow Vgchartz is very close to that number! Good tracking guys


lol, I wonder how VGC numbers would look if they kept their OWN, original numbers without making ANY adjustments to reflect NPD, chart-track, media create and official company announcements like this one. Hint : totally off

muhahahahahahahahahahah

Only a few block buster games, nothing really inovative yet this is such a phenomeno. I think this systems success if more surpring that that of the original wii. The pro.is of a bright future backed by the pedicure of 3 generations of delivering has to be it

"Innovation" is just a buzzword, that just means an attempt at something new. Its not inherently beneficial and by its nature its not perfected.

Innovation is not something that sells consoles. The PS2 encoporated advances to the PS1 and existing dvd and music features, the Wii included motion controls that had already exists and just made it cheap and affordable.

Innovation has barely anything to do with success.

i dunno about barely.   things like the wii certainly sold on innovation.  but innovation certainly isn't required to be successful.  people need food, clothes, transportation, entertainment and will always buy stuff with or without innovation.  sometimes being refined is better than innovative, sometimes it's better to be innovative.   i feel like the market cycles around always chasing thing.

wii was innovative but in a lot of ways a let down.  right now seems to be a good time for refined but that won't last for ever either.



I guess no one saw that ps4 is in over 70 countries.
