Take a look at this

Your numbers would mean a huge slowdown in PS4 sales compared to the PS3


Actually I I think PS4 2014 will look a heck of alot like PS3 2012-  Maybe makes Sep higher than Oct due to destiny but otherwise pretty spot on, I like this because the summer months are very similiar sales wise to this years PS4 summer sales.

End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

4 million sold through units for holiday quarter is terrible?

whay do u guys expect?

~500k oktober

~1m november

~2m dezember

 

dont know why this would terrible or far from fetch

ok so...

its sold 500k in July, again like I said no releases, and its just going to sell 500k in oct (which usually see sales close to double mid summer).

Novemeber- It will sell close to a million Black friday week alone. let alone the whole month.

Dec- 2 million will only happen if there is severe stock issues.

oktober will be the month after the frontloaded white destiny bundle push.

so no double the monthly mid summer. maybe 700k.

 


1m black firday week only?

black friday is only big in the usa

 

ps4 wont be the biggest console in the usa holidays.

that will be the xbox one with halo mcc.

so we will see just normal good ps4 sales.

ps4 is maybe still the better console in some (or maybe even most) consumer minds, but it dont have any killer app to push sales to goodlike tier.

 

~ 1m november

~ 2m dezmeber

are solid numbers for a 400 bucks console with no major game beside normal yearly fanchise.

lets make it 1.3m november

and 2.5m dezmeber

 

and end of year 14.9m

but the ps4 wont surpass 15m

 

i take any bet on this....

Cause you dont know what you are talking about, check some holiday sales on here before posting.  See how PS4 is annihilating X1 in Europe and guess decent numebrs for it.  Look at US dec numbers and see.  Its really that easy.

thanks for the laught

cant belive to hear this form "beelite"

the sales guru itself being wrong with every single statemant he does



I think it will do around 13 million since all games such as Destiny,Farcry 3 and Cod:Aw which are coming out in this christmas period are coming out also on last gen consoles too. Gta 5 will not be that big of a seller any current gen owner at this stage has probably played it. I think the wii u will surprise us much more than the ps4.



Send a Friend Request On PSN :P

I really feel lonely in my projections here. Everybody is being really conservative....PS4 is probably around 9-9'5 mill SOLD right now (I don't really believe VGC lately...) By Destiny's launch it will be 10 mill FOR SURE. How anybody can believe PS4 will sell only 4-5 million the rest of the year????? They already sold around 5 mill the first 7 months of the year, the slower ones.....Just in December will sell something around that number.

And for the Fiscal Year, PS4 will be around 20 mill sold, minimum. Sony is just being conservative to surprise people.

You're awfully sure about stuff. I hope you don't bet.

It's called confidence!!! and to my defense, I have a good record in my predictions. And no, I don't bet money, but, I did say that if PS4 don't finish 2014 with 16-18 mill units SOLD, I will never make any predictions, about consoles sales, ever, I swear ....

And my question about how people expect PS4 to sell only 4-5m for the rest of the year (some people even say less) is very sincere. I really need someone to explain me that.

You really don't have a point and you're kinda losing your credibility be saying that the X1 will be the holiday leader in the US this year because of the MCC.

I'll happily bet you on that, the PS4 will reach at least 15 million by the end of the year.

"17 millions in 2014".... Nothing is impossible... who knows ? =)
It would be a huge result anyway, even if it is quite hard to achieve



Hey don't click here ! It's creepy !!

I want a PlayStation All-Stars Sequel ! Come on Sony, stop making too many shooters !

I'll make a better signature when I'll have time to do it...

its halo. its america.

so whats ur wager? 100 bucks?

 

edit:

just look at this

http://www.vgchartz.com/tools/hw_yoy.php?reg=Global&start_year=2013&end_year=2014&console=PS4

 

weeker april, may, june sales and maybe july sales for ps4 frist year, vs ps3 second year.

why should the ps4 first year holiday should be soooo much better than ps3 second year holiday in that case? (relative increase wise)

It's not a new Halo, it's the old Halos, big difference.

And the reason that the PS4 will do much better than the PS3 in 2008 has 3 letters: U.S.A. that market is the most important one in the holidays. Go back and look at how poorly the PS3 did in the US back then, it sold a measily 175k in the US on black friday in 2008. The PS4 is going to absolutely crush that number, because, if you haven't noticed yet, the US is in love with the PS4.

Also we can bet for sig control or something.

sells around 400-600k (Excluding Holiday sales which can double it) a month with four months left it should cross 11Mil mark


This is just ridiculous. The PS4 will at the least pass 14 million.
