Forums - Sales Discussion - I'm noticing something crazy: PS4 to sell upwards of 2m in USA

 

Will ps4 break 2 million U.S alone total sales for December 2015?

Yes.... 77 46.95%
 
No.... 24 14.63%
 
Yes and probably approach 2.5 million 31 18.90%
 
No... And probably do close to 1.5 million 26 15.85%
 
No... It'll fall short of 1 million 6 3.66%
 
Total:164

In November, PS4 had a weekly average of 385k consoles sold in the US.
To reach 2M in December, it needs a 400k weekly average. Not much of a difference right? On one hand, December doesn't have a week as big as BF and does not include bundle pre orders. On the other hand, it does include Cyber Monday and had the ps4 at BF price for 2 weeks.
I'm still going with 1.65M for now, but we'll know better when Sony gives us end of 2015 LTD numbers. Last year those allowed me to correctly predict December NPD with near pinpoint accuracy, I expect to be able to do the same this year. So, January 4th, I will know.

All i know is that the PS4 has somehow managed to break every record and expectation set upon it this generation.

I don't know if the PS4 will hit 2M, but I sure as hell know it will be unwise to bet against it.



Meanwhile.....In Ireland Xbox One is still 400 Euro in Gamestop! Hate this country.... Rip off republic.



I think it will match Novembers 1.5M but that's about it. If the $299.99 went for the whole month then maybe yeah but Sony is missing a big opportunity with the price gone back up the week before Christmas when X1 gets the extra week of price advantage. Lost sales from Sony this week imo.

Doesn't december have 5 weeks? 2M is doable with $299 bundles, December is usually bigger than November plus there should be some boost due to the SW movie. And you wont get 2015 LTD numbers if Sony doesn't share them, they're not obliged to until their quarterly reports.

Yes..5 x 400k is 2M



Isn't flying console bundles a bigger story than 2million in sales though?



2M would be a huge number!!! BELIEVE!!!



around 2M is a safe prediction.



My prediction is 1.8m but 2m is possible. It would need enough stock and I'm not confident Sony shipped enough. Hopefully they did!
