Which one do you think it will be, then?

hmmmm.

Last year 2014, looks like PS4 did around 4.8 million units in the US.

Not sure how much a 50$ or 100$ price cut will increase sales but.... in 2015 the US sales should be higher than the 2014 sales of ~4.8million units.

Can you please say more than just "Hmmm" because I don't understand what you're trying to say. 
In case you were confused, the title says PS4 2015 (United States) versus 3DS 2012 (Japan)
The numbers for the PS4 comes from NPD (more accurate than VGC numbers, and VGC numbers tend to be adjusted to NPD)
The numbers for the 3DS comes from Media Create (Sales tracker for Japan, one of the big ones)

edit: I now see you edited your post.

I linked the wrong chart :)
Was looking at total sales for all consols.

When I looked at only PS4 sales in 2014, and only in the US, it came out around 4.8 million units sold.

This year with a price cut for the ps4, the sales should be higher than last years 4.8million.

 

OP: good question.

More than 4.8million units is a given.

Higher than 5.5million units of the 3DS 2012 sales in japan.... not sure.

 

Hopefully a 100$ price cut can help it more a additional 700k units or so.

PLS, used NPD, not VGChartz...

PS4 is undertracked in some month and overtracked in other...

Any way, PS4 sold 4,700,000 last year, not 4,800,000.



"Any way, PS4 sold 4,700,000 last year, not 4,800,000."

was over 4,75 so I just wrote around 4.8million (its abit under).

 

Intresting to see 66% of people voteing so far, dont believe a 50$-100$ price cut can make the PS4 sell a additional 700k units in the US.

I guess we ll know by next year, around this time.... someone just has to remember to necro bump this thread a year from now.
