You are GENIUS .



I'd be willing to counter bet you on this if you're willing



Current consoles: Wii U, Gaming PC

Yup you are crazy :)

Seriously though, if by the fall of 2016 sony can get the PS4 down in price to $199, and this gen ends in 2020, then it stands a very very very good chance of having sold around 130M in 2020.

Personally, if I were sony, I would drop the price to $200 today and bite a $160 loss on every PS4 sold. I'd probably go bankrupt too.

It might be hard since the PS2 had a replacement rate, whereas the PS4 seem like they won't break as quickly.

Just if this gen takes like 10 years, and that's not likely either, but it will sell well over 100M.


But if PS4 sold:

2014: 12,000,000 (16,000,000)

2015: 15,000,000 (31,000,000)

2016: 18,000,000 (49,000,000)

2017: 22,000,000 (71,000,000)

2018: 21,000,000 (92,000,000)

2019: 17,000,000 (109,000,000)

2020: 13,000,000 (122,000,000)

November 2020: PS5 resaled

2021-2025: 48,000,000 (170,000,000)

We will succeed!

PS2 have sold 50,000,000 after PS3 resaled.

So, PS2 have sold 107,000,000 in 2007 VS 122,000,000 in 2020 of PS4!

And lifetime: 160,000,000 PS2 VS 170,000,000 of PS4!



Those times are over. But nothing is impossible.



i don't see it happening. ps4 had a great start but i think this gen will be somewhat front loaded.
