Forums - Gaming Discussion - Some of these PS4 sales predictions are astonishingly low

 

What you think?

Crazy brah 18 54.55%
 
Not too crazy brah 15 45.45%
 
Total:33

It's going to be fun necroing these threads in the future.

I think many here also predicted PS4 would sell at most 14 Million LTD in 2014, with lots of justification for why it won't be more, but here we are at 18.5 Million.  Here we are with PS4 about to double PS2's LTD shipments through March 29th.



My 8th gen collection

100m is a pipe dream for every console this generation. Home and portable. PS4, Xbone, and WiiU combined wont outsell the PS2.


Do you honestly believe that?

I do. 5 year front loaded generation. The boss man used his tried and true meathods for estimating holiday boosts and ended up having the PS4 a million over tracked in just a few months.




8th gen predictions. (made early 2014)
PS4: 60-65m
WiiU: 30-35m
X1: 30-35m
3DS: 80-85m
PSV: 15-20m

LOL LOL LOL at your signature, are you doing some type of reverse psychology where you hope for the worst in hopes that what actually happens is the best, or if you're actually serious, could we get some reasons for that? 

It was made a year ago. If I could change things now, I'd take 5m away from Vita and give it to PS4, and 5m away from WiiU and give it to Xbone.

Still sticking with my sub 100m prediction. Gonna be a short gen.

At least I hope so.

how short though? sony is doing real good $$$ wise with ps4 (compared to ps3),this will be a cash cow for em,im not so sure sony wants another system out so quick.... ms had some decent gains in sales in the last few months and got ok momentum going....theres still a lot of ppl yet to make the jump into the ps4/x1 gen to begin with, some of those multiplat last gen sales are pretty impressive considering how ancient those consoles are. i hope at least a solid 5-5 1/2 years....even if sony unleashes a new console earlier than expected,ps4 will still be supported and have a good shot at 100m
