They expect only 18 millions for the next fiscal year. Then I guess they have no plan to do any price cut. Specially with Scorpio coming that might be more expensive than the PRO.

I wonder how much did Sony factor in the Switch when making projections.

Ps3 did 90 millions, so yeah, ps4 can easily get 105 millions.

Ps2 total sale incoming

The first Playstation sold 30 million, 30% of its lifetime sales, after the PS2 was out.

The PS2 sould 40 million out of 155 million after the PS3 launched - a lesser ~25% of its lifetime sales.

Maybe you should retify your argument to say it was actually the PS2 that was too expensive at launch, perhaps?

The PS1 also sold 67 million after March 1998, two and a half to over three years it had been released everywhere.

Was the PS1 also too expensive at launch?

Of course it's likely the PS3 would have sold better if it was cheap from the beginning but then it would be even cheaper later on its lifetime, with a larger marketshare and mindshare, maybe even more exclusive games, and thus sold more on its late years. Besides, you seem to argue with the notion the PS2 - not the Wii, not the X360, not the DS, not the PSP -  was somehow cannibalizing sales of its successor because it was more expensive.

By the way, the PS3 could be found at $499 at launch, and there was already a 40 GB $399 SKU by November 2007. Its year-on-year sales increased even without a pricecut before the $299 slim launched, dropping slighly only in the wake of a X360 pricecut late on 2008.

Haha this gif is awesome 

Steady on there cowboy! 

Only because the competition f**ed up, imagine if the competition didn't f**ed up?

Everything depends on the Scorpio. If Microsoft prices it right and the console becomes popular, Sony will be forced to counter attack with PS5 cutting the PS4's life span and potential sales significantly.

I disagree entirely, even if the Scorpio is especially successful Sony have no need to react with a new console.
