I don't even like Playstation but I think it'll settle somewhere around 120m.

Maybe, I think it'll sell less than 100 million. I found this thread btw http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=171626&page=1 . It's asking if any PS4 exclusive is gonna sell more than 10 million and the only answers basically were GT7 and GT8 :p.

I admit I should have double checked Playstation software records before making the thread; I thought the PS1/PS2 GT games sold more than they did.

unlikely that it will pass 100m. consoles are not going to continue having as long 'legs' as they did in the past. especially if Nintendo truly does release their next console within a few years, there is no way that its competitors will sit around for a particularly long time. when specs are the #1 selling point of your system (Microsoft or Sony) and you're constantly falling further and further behind PC its not going to leave room for particularly long system life cycles

I will note that the PS2 had a long life cycle due to the DVD player, and the PS3 arguably had a pretty long one due to the somewhat innovative Blu Ray player. you reach a point where systems no longer really have that added incentive to be used for extended years

Sony tend to cling to their console for a long, long time though, even after they are replaced.

Even Nintendo won't repeat that level of sales again.

Lmao not unless the game is given away with every ps4 sold.

You guys are ridiculous, there will never be another game that is exclusive and sells that much on any console period, those days are over. The casuals are gone. Most have left for mobile.

Gran Turismo 7 should do that easily.

I wouldn't say easily, it'll be pretty challenging for it to get 10mil imo.

GT5 managed over 10m on PS3, and PS4 will likely end up with a significatly higher install base.

EDIT: It seems I overestimated GT3, for some reason I remembered it being at 17-18m. My mistake.

I still think GT7 has a shot though.

Yea it might have a shot but its highly unlikely, i think around 10mil is more appropriate but you never know.

I don't think it's that unlikely; I give it maybe 40-60 odds.

GT3 pretty much did it, only 20k off by VGChartz numbers.

No, I dont think so. Maybe if GTA VI went PS4 exclusive, but I dont see that happening any time soon. X1 isnt selling THAT badly for huge franchises to become PS4 exclusives



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

If Sony decide to mass bundle UC4 with the PS4 then sure, why not.
