Don't think so. Playstation is taking over living rooms. There is a lot of advertising currently and Holidays are approaching. PS4 is getting really popular and people are played out with their tablets and hardcore console gaming is on the rise. Word of mouth is also really good and as that everyone wants to play with each other this is going to be a huge factor as well. I think next week will be more or less the same with a margin of +/- 10%

Good points so i guess we will see. It's true about word of mouth in the EU. People who had 360's gave into th hype of PS4 before it had good games and now that it does that is building and they're happy. 
People even going on about share play and the new Z3 being able to stream games for PS4. Things like that were never talked about regarding PS3.

Yeah!! Remote play and Share Play are somehow features people really talk about (I never hear anything about music/tv/video etc.). Gamers (not nesecarily PS4 owners), when they see me with a xperia Z2 the first questions are always going to be about remote play and how it works. 

It is difficult to compare but I feel that everyone is talking about the system in the same way as they did with PS2. Only even more positive as launch issues have been limited in comparison with previous consoles and the library is much better than with the PS2 in it's first 12-15 months.

agreed. and obviously the other things like netflix are used as well or the TV players to watch on demand. 



I compared PS4's first year Holiday sales with the Wii's from 2007, when I in fact should have compared it to Wii's numbers from 2010 - They are much more identical.

-----Wii 2010--------------------PS4 2014--------------------------------

Nov 07: 459,243-----------Nov 08: 553,533 = + 20.53 % (+ 94,290)
Nov 14: 533,148-----------Nov 15: 481,003 = -  09.78 % (-  52,145)
Nov 21: 702,858-----------Nov 22: 734,388 = 09.11 % (+ 31,530)
Nov 28: 1,090,313---------Nov 29:
Dec 05: 1,541,469---------Dec 06:
Dec 12: 1,378,023---------Dec 13:
Dec 19: 1,746,235---------Dec 20:
Dec 26: 1,823,190---------Dec 27:

3 Weeks: 1,695,249-------3 Weeks: 1,768,924


*Sure, it is ridiculous of me to expect, PS4 to have the same results this Holiday. But just imagine, if PS4 would have such a glorious Holiday! :p



-----Wii 2007--------------------PS4 2014--------------------------------------
Nov 03: 296,372-----------Nov 01: 314,356 = 06.07 % (+17,984)

Dec 01: 699,757-----------Nov 29: 1,193,346 = 70.51% (+493,589)

5 Weeks: 2,421,845-------5 Weeks: 3,276,626 = +35.29 % (+854,781)

Total: 6,037,384-----------Total: 8,167,976 (estimated)

Total: 19,508,070----------Total: ~21,137,500 (estimated)

 

Could we see over 7.0m PS4's shipped this quarter?

still not at the same level like ps2. I would like sony to outsell wiiu and xbox one 3 to 1 both



That's because Japan doesn't want PS4. 

If you add in PS2 Japan sales vs PS4 Japan sales the difference more than makes up for it. 



When FFXV, Persona, Dragon Quest Heroes and whatever other Japanese games come out they should finally start buying the damn thing.

Possible even 22,000,000 !!!

My PS4 prediction:

22 NOV 800,000
29 NOV 1,250,000
6 DEC 900,000
13 DEC 1,200,000
20 DEC 1,500,000
27 DEC 900,000
3 JEN 300,000

Considering that VGC undertracked PS4 by some like 500K, and have sold 15M by 15 Nov, it can sell 21,5M !!!

My comment with last account...

In any case, PS4 is massive undertracked, so, probabily that my number was right.
