180k is pretty high. I think a next gen system needs to do 100k+ every week to be considered doing good. Some weeks VGC had PS4 below that, but it was probably untrue at the time.


Under 100k? PS4 was never under 100k.

Agreed.

If the PS4 doesn't go under 180k all year, you get to control my sig for a week.

If it does go under 180k, I get to permaban you.

Seems fair?

Don't do it, OP ...

GO FOR IT OP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS3 had price cuts AND more memory in the first year though. They didn't just sit and do "nothing" for the boost to come. I don't see that as a good reason as to why the PS4 won't go under 180k.

Don't take it out of context, everything in the OP is part of the same argument :)

LordLichtenstein, you make good threads. Well argued.

The lowest point for PS4 last year was 130k. Add a 30% increase and it gives you about 170k. Add in the fact that it was supply constrained and that VGC still has it under tracked before August, and I can see it not going below 180k all year.

I'm not 100% sure that it will happen though, it's 50-50. It could go below that a few weeks.


Thanks :)


30 %, no drought, Supply, Japan getting games and China. 

Also, we have to remember that some of these games coming out will "force" gamers to upgrade.

- Dying Light
- The Order: 1886
- Bloodborne
- The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
- Batman: Arkham Knight

ps4 is in line for a huge year, but I think you will lose your bet before the end of feb.

Under 100k? PS4 was never under 100k.

You must have not been here when it was. But it was. Then it got adjusted. So do not be surprised if the same thing happens with your prediction.

Oh shoot, I didn't know. :/

In that case, my prediction will last until end 2015, when everything is set in stone. :)

Why would you think that? :)

MGS V, Tearaway Unfolded, and Ratchet & Clank all look like they could be released Before the end of Q2 ... 

Mad Max and Just Cause 3 are looking up to be Q3/Q4 games. I have no idea about No Man's Sky. Rime doesn't even have a solid release date yet ... 

Until Dawn and Homefront: The revolution look like the only games to be able to make it for a summer release ...


I guess we'll just have to wait and see. 


Oh, Rime has been confirmed for 2015 though :)
