switch only 700k units up yoy so far despite being released in march. so thats a about 1/3rd of the time period sale advantage

sales already tanking a bit.

 

its going to need a price drop this or next year

Sales won't tank, atleast not to last year levels. It will be up YoY for a long time, and it will continue its growth the next few weeks

You do realize a March launch will be much bigger than a regular March? That pretty much cancels out the fact that it wasnt available in Jan/Feb.

Also the thread that is tracking the weekly numbers shows that its been up by over 50k in each of the last 5 weeks. Thats the exact opposite of tanking.

A price cut next year is likely, it will be year 3.

Like i said in my last post, launch month cancels out missing two regular non-holiday months.

They shipped 2.74 million in March which is on par with their other non-holiday quarters.

March 2017-2.74 million

April/May/June 2017-1.96 million

Aug/Sept/Oct 2017-2.93 million

Jan/Feb/Mar 2018-2.93 million

Even then, it's not like 2018's lead have been decreasing, only increasing

At this point i think is almost sure that PS4 is overtracked.

PS4 is at 79.7 million according to VGChartz, just 300K for the 80 million milestone. And we all know Sony always annunce every 10 million PS4 hit. They annunced 10 million, 20 million, 30 million, 40, 50, 60, and 70, there is no way they miss the 80 million annunce as well.

I could understand if they delayed the annunce for the E3, kinda what they did with 60 million... but the E3 is over. If Sony did not annunce yet the 80 million for PS4, this only mean that it has not reached that milestone.

Of course i expect PS4 to be very close to it and imo, is a matter of days, but yeah... according to VGChartz PS4 reached 80 million before the E3, and that's almost for sure is not the case.

Yeah, you're absolutely right. PS4 is overtracked, and it's not the first time

Huh? You say that like it's common for VGC, but whenever a new figure by Sony has been released throughout the ps4's life it's almost always been the case that ps4 has been undertracked.... smh.

Surprised Xbox has not been discontinued, really does not sell well.

It doesn't sell well but still profitable.  It will keep going.

Mark my words, PS4 will pass 120M units sold by the end of its life cycle.

Can't wait to see e3 week with that PS4 deal



God bless You.

My Total Sales prediction for PS4 by the end of 2021: 110m+

When PS4 will hit 100m consoles sold: Before Christmas 2019
