Will never happen. You all make the mistake to think that black Friday week numbers will continue until Christmas. That wont happen. Look at the past. The first week after November always was much less than black Friday week and and from there on numbers wont get that much higher before Christmas or new year.
All in all I would say 18 to 18.5 Million max till January.

It's 16.1m by VGC numbers and that's from the 29th Nov. It'll already be aroung 17.5m - 18m. 20m isn't that much of a stretch.


Thats exactly what I was taking into account. It wont sell 1+ million per week after Black Friday. More like 400k to 700k.

Wait am I missing something? Where are people getting this info that the PS4 is selling one million units a week? Yes it did it over Black Friday which is expected but unless you guys have information that I haven't seen yet I don't believe that it's still selling around 1mil a week.

Anyway, if the PS4 reaches 20 million after about 13 months on the market that is quite impressive regardless of whether the Wii had better years (And it did). I plan on picking one up next month :)


It is called analysis of history... predicting based on past... from what other consoles done Non-Holiday-Holiday, and first full year, etc gave us a prediction of 1M sales on December and a total of 20-21M.

What will I get if I am right with my "jokes"? :)

I already know what I wouldnt get from you, you just made that clear. :)

My first prediction has been proven right already today. 700k the week after Black Friday.

I don't get it. you guys ignore the 2013 sales? ps4 is sold 12.1 million this year so far. it ain't catching up with wii or ps2 numbers.

Some of you guys should really take a look at this thread. PS4 is catching up to Wii, fast.

Sure about that?  We know for sure it is ahead of PS2 numbers.

Also Sony announced PS4 was the best selling console ever at their PSX conference, which implies it was ahead of Wii numbers.

Well I'm talking about the "best" year part and this is not happening this year.Ps4 needs to sell 12 million in a month to achieve this.
