To get a 100 mill, PS4 needs at least 10 mil a year, 5 mil holidays, and 5 mil rest of the year. Furthermore, I think it would have to either become more mainstream, as no console, handheld or home, has hit 100 mil without becoming some kind of mainstream, or it would have to annihilate the competition. I'm talking 80+% marketshare here.


PS4 is mainstream, and its already on its way to "annihilate the competition" things wont get any better for x1 or U as PSs big isp start dropping.

Its on its way to Annihilate the competition but 80% marketshare is immensely difficult even with the Wii U and XB1's blunders. 11.1 mil is basically XB1+Wii U right now, PS4 would need to sell 91 million consoles before, the Xb1 and Wii U combined sold 9 consoles in the same amount of time. With the competition less of a concern it merely has to do an average of 10 mil for 10 years but even then the PS5 would've launched by then.

As for its Mainstream, that's debatable, I don't think its marketted to the Non-Gamers and sure as hell hasn't reached PS2 levels of universal appeal yet.

Mobiles are also screwing that up right now.

For the year its at 58% of sales, 64% in Europe.  Such share with out a top 5 exclusive PS franchise out yet or a single price cut.  Is annahilation that far of really.

To early to market to them, but PS4 is the mass medias darling already.
