Forums - Sony Discussion - Can the PS4 really outsell the PS2?

The Playstation, the original, proved how much a console could grow, and the PS2 after it made it clear to everyone, if you hit the right price and is able to get to the mainstream you can get huge. That plus the high quality and vast diversity that Sony always provided their gamers made the success of this two, but the Wii also proved that not only the games + price is the way to appeal to them, also innovations can be very welcomed, and the Wii motion controls were a big blast. 

That's the problem with morpheus.  That $600ish pay wall is too steep.  Its only gonna appeal to people that already have a PS4.

It could sell over 100 million, but I don't see it get close to PS2. I'd be shocked if that happens, especially since I think this gen will only last 6 years max.



I dont think it will, even with VR cause I don't think VR will take off that much at all. If the point of a console is to game at a cheaper price, then I think a ps4+VR is too much for people and I doubt VR will give the "must have" experience that people are looking for. I think VR might take off in the porn industry but if thats the case, then it will be in the PC space since PCs don't have restrictions such has "no prawn allowed." And even though I love how Summer Lesson looks, let be honest, you can't get her to take off her clothes

I think VR will end up like 3d but it will be a bigger success than 3d but not enough to really zomfg the industry and it certainly isn't cheap enough to attact the casuals like the wii did

VR will not be big this gen due to the price



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

I don't think VR will come into mainstream gaming yet, and the PS2 was more popular, so i don't think so.

Now 100 million? That's more controversial.

I don't think anything will outsell the PS2. At least, not for a long time.

I'm doubtful that it will sell more than the PS2 but I reckon it will sell more than the PS1.



 

The PS5 Exists. 


It can reach PS1 numbers, but it definitely won't outsell the PS2!

Ps2 sold 160m. I highly doubt it. PS4 hitting 130m would be an equal achievement given the different times we live in.



I have already seen this thread, but where?...
