Forums - Gaming Discussion - crazy prediction: PS4 will outsell PS2 lifetime

Yes... i know that this prediction is very crazy, and more of prediction is a hope... hope for one fantastic console.

I predict that PS4 will outsell PS2 this generation, becoming the best selling console of all time.

Impossible?

The PS4 for now is a best selling console in 8 month, even the Wii and PS2 have sold less...

Sony has ALWAYS gone beyond its estimates.

Sony estimates 3,000,000 in 2013... and have sold 4,200,000.

Sony estimates 5,000,000 on March... and have sold 7,000,000.

Sony have estimates that PS4 selling will be equal of PS2 sales... and for even in this case, will sell more of as estimate.

I predict that PS4 will sold 170,000,000 in this generation.

They outsell easily the 3DS+Wii U like the prediction of Dernebel, and for me outsell XO for 3,5:1 , and 8,5:1 PSVita...

I'll be honest, I'm not one who remains faithful to his own estimate, but for now I expect this.

I'm Nintendaro, but I hope only the best for Sony, is not having a good time, and i hope at least with PS4 will sell very much!

So... i'm Crazy?

PS4 outsell PS2 or is impossible?

I know only that, this year PS4 sell 16,000,000+... 

if I'm will wrong, I'll be the first to ask pardon.

I conclude by saying: GO SONY AND GO PS4!!!

Nice, I predicted 3:4 times the Xbox's sells by 2015, what do you think, possible?

Won't happen for a very simple reason: Japan

And if will sold 70,000,000 in NA, 65,000,000 in Europe?

You are basically asking for the PS4 to sell 20m more units in NA and 10m more in Europe comapred to the PS2. Not gonna happen.

Honestily no.

I think PS4 will sell double of XO on March 2015.

Mmmh, I've difficulty seeing this.

Would be great, but I don't see the generation last long enough to achieve that number. At the end of the day though, this is still a prediction whose outcome is more than 5 years away and it's extremely difficult to predict what's going to happen that far in the future.

So, I'd say there's a possibility but it's not likely.

In fact, I stated that more than a prediction is a hope... but never say never.

As already mentioned, so far, Sony has always valued less than that which ones he sold.

Of course you should never say never, but you can probably expect to get some flak for this prediction, just look at the thread in my sig (not to pat myself on the back here), I got a ton of flak for that as well, but I like to believe that with every week that prediction becomes more likely. :D

So, it could happen, but I personally don't believe it will.

The time will give the answers!

Goodluck, I can't see it happening. Would be lovely to see another 6th gen though.


Why?!?



Stop hating and start playing.

Statistically there are probably more gamers now with jobs and spending money. As far as the pool of potential buyers go it's possible. Ps2 brought a lot of previously unseen things to the table and made it really easy for customers. Plus they had no real competition at the time, at least not near same level like it is now. Then they had awesome games like GTA III. I think it's too split between the four. Might be close tho. It won't be able to do it without games tho. If they keep bringing in devs like NaughtyDog to bring great exclusives to the table then they could probably do it.

All Hail the Jester King. The King is back, and I am still a dirty girl prof ;)

It is very likely! Once Sony solves the supply issues in Japan and system selling software arrives for the console everything will be fine.

For me yes, PS4 will have 65% of selling!

The other 35% will apportion XO and Wii U, probabily 20% XO and 15% Wii U.
