Off of Second Son, Drive Club, The Order, and multiplats that can already be had on PC, 360, PS3, Xbox One, and some even on the Vita and Wii U? Really?

We're going to be lucky if it's even half of that, and no I'm not joking. But go ahead, set yourself up for crushing disappointment for all I care.

Edit: and I agree with one of the posters about, producing 16 million in 12 months alone  makes things impossible... Not that they're going to even come close to stock shortages from the end of January and beyond.

Lol, you have to be joking (even though you say you aren't). They sold 4.2m in less than 1.5 months and you think it will be lucky to manage another 10m in 2014.

What is that last sentence supposed to mean? Are you saying there won't be shortages anymore from the end of Jan? Based on what, exactly?

Yes that's what I'm saying, based off my gut feeling and actually seeing a PS4 in stores for myself finally.

Expecting them to continue to sell 250 - 300k a  week after the holidays have finished and no significant software until March just seems batshit crazy to me. I'm being completely earnest when I ask this: am I missing something? Why would the PS4 continue to sell that much for the next 10 weeks or so?



Because demand is still extremely high. People getting the PS4's now wanted them for christmas but have had to wait due to insane demand. There is a lot of people on waiting lists to get their PS4. When any PS4 stock does become available , it's sold out fast. Sony haven't even launched in Japan yet and it was the most successful launch in history . This is even forgetting major software boosts from high profile exclusives .
