I won't go ahead and say that's entirely impossible...but I will go ahead and say that I think there is a 99% chance of that not happening.

However, if everything went literally perfect, I could see around 5ish million sold during that time period. In reality, I expect about 3.5-4 million though if it launches in October.

Sounds reasonable. But it all also depends on how many units they ship.

Back in 2005 and 2006 the launch numbers were miniscule, like 1.5 million for a whole Holiday season. Compared to an ordinary PS3 or X360 Holiday in the gen that's a pathetic number.

I think this time there will be much much more supply, for both PS4 and Xbone. But how much, that is the question.

I think 4 million PS4s would be wonderful (and perhaps +2 mill Xbones), nextgen would start with a bang. This would be so good for all the devs making launch window software.

Indeed. Last generation launch numbers were pretty sad to say the least. That many PS4's and One's selling during the launch would be wonderful and probably mean better support for the first few years than the 360 and PS3 had.
