Thats your measure? Hahahaha.

I'll tell you something good sir I actually do sell video game and consoles in my third world country (grey market) and the PS4 demand is mind boggling, wish I could get my hands on more PS4 but they are sold out. You are free to file that under anecdotal of course.


It's not a great measure, but its the only one that actually works.  Just because its popular in one place doesn't mean its popular everywhere.  Japan for instance had ample supplies of consoles as long as several days after the console launched.  I'd say that's pretty pathetic.  Then again Japan isn't representative of everywhere.  

Anyways, I've proven that I have an argument.  Unless you can disprove me by showing me something more definitive than one isolated electronics stores console demand, then I've won our argument.  Who's right about the argument is yet to be seen, but I've proven the argument exists.  


The point of the argument is this: You said PS4 will only sell 70M

Even PS3 with a desastrous launch, 600$ price, not being sold out at launch and having lost a lot of market share to Nintendo and MS managed to reach 80M but PS4 which is outpacing PS3 by a huge margin and being the current market share leader is not going to reach 70M?

I'm not saying is going to sell like the PS2 but it will sure pass 70M



I think the main thing that could keep the PS4 from outdoing the PS2 is it's successor. If I heard correctly, the PS2 sold like 30 million or so even after the PS3 released, a lot in part likely thanks to the mishandling of the PS3. I doubt they'll screw up as badly with the PS5, hopefully! :L
