It's just a random Forbes contributor. It means nothing more than if I or some random user on VGC were to say the same. In fact I think those users on VGC that really are interested in these numbers, not just superficially, know more about the current sales situations for the consoles than the writer of that article.

I think that it will surpass the PS1, no problem, as for the PS2? Doubtful, but most certainly doable, but i'll be leaning towards no.

I think it'll end up around 120m or so. Neo will provide a temporary bump but not much for baseline I don't think

I think it's funny how people said the PS4 wouldn't outsell the PS3 before it launched due to consoles dying. The PS4 looks set to smash the PS3 numbers and probably even the PS1 numbers at this rate.

Nowhere close

it is unlikely to oversell the wii

+200M

I had ~115M before. With them going the iterative route, it's going to be a lot more

I have no doubt that it ll go past the PS3 (87m now?), and PS1 in sales (104m).

Something would have to go terribly wrong, for it not go well over 100m, at the rate its going now.

My "guess" is its going to end up around the 140m mark.

Pretty sure it ll go over 101m units sold.

Its at 40m units shipped (2years & 4 months into the cycle).

When look 7-8years into the future, do you honestly see it at less than 101m?

I doubt it.

Yes, because the PS4 (to be rebranded 'Playstation') is going to be the defacto console going forward.
