No.

People like to look at past launches and draw the conclusion that it is easily possible. However, the most recent PlayStation product, the Vita, featured the same price as its predecessor, the PSP. and was agreed upon to have a significantly better launch lineup. Thus people were expecting a good launch, but in reality the PSP beat the PSV roughly 4:1.

Now that the PS4 is cheaper than the PS3 and also has a better launch lineup, people figure that the PS4 launch should be the same or better than the PS3 launch. Not going to happen with the current economical conditions. Besides, the PS4 is just like the PSV in that it lacks the brand strength of the PS3 and PSP. A lot of people bought Sony's seventh generation machines based on blind faith, this isn't going to repeat.

Number time: The PS4 won't sell more than 120k units during its launch week and won't pass the Wii U by the end of 2013.


Wasn't there an Austrian guy and a bunch of other folks who used to employ this tool to show that the Wii would outsell the PS2 easily, some time back in the day? Maybe my memory is shot.

Obviously you made that up since PS2 had a bigger launch aligned. I notice you enjoy talking negatively about Ninty. Are you like CGI, as in you claim to be a PC fan but are really a Sony fan? Looks like the shoe fits.
