F. 7 million sold as of April 6th

PS4 has sold 7 million unites in only 4 months & 23 days or 143 days, that is 48.951 units per day, incredible I know! If PS4 can keep its momentum going through the remaining 269 days of 2014, than we will be looking at 20 million sold. 

Personally I think it will reach 20 million. Usually a company ramps up production going into the last quarter of the year. October, November & December could potentially deliver the "final" blow if supply is there.
