PS4 Will Cross 18M By Yrs End

lol 15 9.87%
 
yes it will you are correct 65 42.76%
 
no it wont 17M max 27 17.76%
 
16M 19 12.50%
 
15M 18 11.84%
 
Less than 15M 8 5.26%
 
Total:152

 

                      I know this has been discussed a lot of times. But I wanted to discuss it again. Sony have stated that they want to sell 17 million PS4 by April 2015. I think there is a small chance that PS4 might beat their expectations again.

This holiday will be huge. Sure there are less games compared to previous years but now there will be more focus on games. Destiny has the potential to be the biggest launch for a new IP. GTA V will be in PS4 with exclusive contents (multiplayer perks or DLC, who knows). Farcry 4 will be a big seller and has PS4 exlusive features. Little big planet 3 and driveclub wont do anything sales wise but will add variety for having games options.

I think that PS4 will cross 18 million numbers by 2014. And if everything goes right then it might cross 19 million numbers. It is possible for PS4 to beat expectations again.

PS: I request you guys not to derail the OP.

I wouldn't doubt it, a lot of third party games are coming out this holiday and the best versions of those are on the ps4 so it makes sense really



                  

PC Specs: CPU: 7800X3D || GPU: Strix 4090 || RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000 || Main SSD: WD 2TB SN850

It's possible, I think 17 million was pretty much guaranteed so 18 shouldn't be too hard.



No, it's not happening. PS4 will be at 16M at most, actually 15M seems more likely.



The PS4 success is the result of what happened last years E3.

It was the "cool" console. Sony bashed MS, and stuff happened, and they hyped it up.

= Success.

18M seems like an optimistic goal but also one that isn't unachievable.

we'll see.

Sorry but making safe bets is really boring. The year only has 2 months left and sales patterns for current gen consoles are known. It's almost assured PS4 will reach 18m.



12 million now. Black friday could probably sell just under a million PS4's. Christmas boost about 400/500k maybe. Actually those numbers may be low with the brack fliday bundre so close to gta v's release.



I think over 18 million is a certainty at this point, if we go by 50% of the year's sales happening between the beginning of October, through to the end of the year, using VGChartz under-tracked numbers PS4 will easily hit 18.5 million by the end of the year. If PS4 has indeed hit 12 million by the 4th of October as many on this forum think (I agree that seems very realistic), then 50% YTD sales would make the total 19.6M by the 31st of December.

Personally I think 18.5 million is basically guaranteed, 19.6M would be a high estimate.
Anything under 18M is an unrealistic expectation IMO.



And people thought I was crazy.
