Playstation 2 launched in Japan on March 4 2000. Ps2 shipments for fiscal year ending March 31 2000 was 1'41 million units. Later it launched in USA in October, and Europe and Australia in November 2000. PS2 reached 10'61 millions units shipped at 31 March 2001 shipping 9'20 millions units in Fiscal Year 2001 In the next Fiscal Year Ps2 shipped 18'07 units.

PS4 will sell much more at launch, but the question is, if it will be capable or reach ps2 levels in its second year

At 400$/€ Sony is definitely aiming to quickly gain installed units and make profits with game sales/subscriptions, so I think Sony will target above 10 million in shipments for 2014, but 15m+ would be extremely ambitious, as they never shipped that many PS3s in a FY.

the price would have to be lower than that for them to aim at quick installed base.


$400 for a PS4 has great value considering it's coming with like 6 games right out of the box without making a single purchase and $400 during holiday season for a new console sounds light, and the asking price isn't too astronomical that it'll see a slump anything like the Wii U saw, that and more support.
