Last I heard it is not even launching globally so that will decrease sales also. You really expect PS4 to sale in the 10 million range over 3 months in limited regions? Yet other people are delusional...I am sure you had the same expectations of Vita before its launch and many Sony fans did the same thing in 2006 for PS3. Their last 2 launches didn't set any sales records, I see no indication that will change any time soon. PS2 days are long gone, time to stop holding on to them as if they are still relevant. |
These predictions almost make less sense in the context of being for 2013.
For one, you expect the Wii U to do another 9.1 million this year, while only expecting another 2.6 million for the PS3. That would mean the Wii U needs to go from being outsold 5.2:1 last week to outselling the PS3 3.5:1. Considering 2 million by the end of August for the year would probably be generous, it will need to perform almost as well as the 2011 3DS to meet that number. Actually, considering the 3DS did 2.63 million in Japan in that period, it might actually have to do better in the west.
Your comments for the PS4 seem odd when you were predicting 4 million. That would almost certainly set some records if not for you expecting 5 million for the Xbox One.
