Luckily Sony likes to boast about the PS4 sales , so in January we will probably already know the sale figure for 31-12-2017.

It's pretty unrealistic to expect PS4 having PS2 sales numbers (or even to be above 120 millions units sold),



It'll do 20+ million in 2017!!!!

120m doesnt seem that unrealistic to me.

March 2018 it should be ~78m sold through (I expect them to beat their forecast).

and Imagine thats another year around 18m? Suddenly your not that far from the 100m mark.

Yeah, but PS2 numbers ? I don't think it's going to happen, back then the PS2 was alone. Today, XBOX is still fighting with the release of the Xbox One X and the Switch has blockbuster success and still has sto struggle with shortages. Today, there is less reasons to buy a PS4 than before, it's not the most powerful console anymore (XBOX took that title), their exclusives are good but nos as Nintendo's hugely praised games which are about to be released, and it's not even the cheapest one (yet).

I always been a Sony fanboy (my first console was a PS1, and the first console I bought with my own money was the PS3, I only use Sony Xperia phones, have a Sony TV and even bought the PS TV) but when I had to choose between the PS4 and the Switch, the choice was obvious (at least, for me).

Price cut next year I think. This year would be cool.

Good PS4 sales. But these are vgchart numbers?

The reality of the matter is that VGC numbers are actually behind......

In June PS4 was officially at 60M. VGC was at that time months if not weeks behind. Currently it stilll is (we are still getting august numbers if I am not mistaken), all year round the PS4 has shown to average around 1M in sales globally..... so as of right now it very well could have sold anywhere between 3-4M consoles between june and now.
