PlayStation business paid for lots of losses in other divisions during PS1 & PS2. Maybe they could do it again with PS4. I don't see Sony electronics recovering, despite showing some good products they can't compete with Sammy.


Oh well, correct if I'm wrong, the PS of around 102m worldwide right?, And the PS2 155m worldwide. If they can pull an avarage of 100m+ for the PS4 I guess they can. Sorry for my ignorance for now, but I can't certainly say an exact number , they can pull around 90m and sitll would be doing greatly to pay the losses as you said. Now it is up for predictions, do you think it can pull 90m+ ww?. As I said to a guy overthere, it all depends on how they can keep the hype+ announces the games.And also if xbone can do something in the future that can affect ps4's sales, we don't know. For Wii U, it won't affect MUCH the PS4Xbone competition I think, as long they are pulling N64 numbers ( imo).

Based on the start yes it looks like PS4 could pass 100M at some point, but it's a very long road.

PS3 has passed 80M right, and it's still going.  So it would need say 25% improvement.  I think it's feasible with launching at a lower price, and not being a year behind Microsoft, and possibly with less Wii effect.  Emerging markets are also growing.

Whereas the PS3 had a lot of problems when it launched, PS4 has few that I can see.  They have reversed the price situation of PS3 vs 360.  They have reversed the position of having the weaker GPU & harder to develop system.  They have much better online play, trophees, chat, etc. from the start.  Sharing is there.  PS Now is maybe ahead of what MS might do.

About the only thing I think they are missing is some network media playback features, but obviously the PS4 can play videos & MP3s... it's just not enabled in the UI yet so it could be at one point.  So overall I think it will beat PS3 sales easy.
