What do you think?



Around the Network

50 million or so.



Depends on the developing and marketing costs, and if it is able to profit with a good margin in regards to these costs.

 

Standards may change from console to console. For example, the original Xbox sold good for what it was. If X1 only pushes those numbers, even if it profits, it won't look good.



it has to outsell its predecessor at any given time



30-40 million sales are reasonably good imo.



" Rebellion Against Tyrants Is Obedience To God"

Around the Network

50,000,000 for me



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

30 million is what a a console must sell for me to consider it "good"



I said 50 million



I guess as long as the console makes a profit in the end.

After R & D and marketing it has to show profit for the console maker. It may be one unit sold for 10 billion dollar or 40 million units for making respectable profit. It depends.
