PS3+PS4 sales will kill next year.


I really don't think so, by their own forecast the PS3 is going to drop quite a bit and it sounds like the PS4 is likely to be expensive since they are not forecast much of a change in operating income for next fiscal year (which basically rules out selling the thing at a big loss) for the gaming division.

They'll probably sell 5-6 million PS3s through March 31st, 2014, and that's if it does fairly well.

The DS selling 30 million in a year or the PS2 doing 20+ million in a year is "killing it".

That match with the 16m rumor... 10m from PS3... 6m from PS4.


6 million might be optimistic to be honest. The Wii was hotter than a canonball its first few months and it barely managed 6 million at $250 (granted Nintendo undershipped for its first Dec/Jan, but actually they shipped quite a bit for a new console for Feb/March of 2007). We're likely talking about the PS4 as a $400-$500 proposition, that's still quite a bit of money for a lot of people.
