| Zero999 said: bold: a non supply constrained ps4 did that in the last 6 months. see how the bolded has no significance to the discussion? it's shaping up to sell a little over 1 million in the next 3 months and there's nothing exciting enough during holidays to give it a huge boost. I'd say 5-6, though. |
I like posters like you.... makes it nicer when your bias is made obvious.
First lets take your 5-6M etimate which is just shy of my 6-7M estimate. I am at least in agreement that between july-august it well sell around 1M units. In september though it will sell more thanks to the destiny bundle (read that as thanks to a white PS4). I know that will push sales cause even I would be selling my PS4 and buying a white PS4. But if you feel it can't sell more as much as it did in its launch months, how would you explain the remaining 4-5M of sales that your estimate suggests since you also clearly say it wont have more than 1M of sales in the next 3 months?
Then secondly, please look at every console ever made in the past two generations. Compare their sales during this time of the year and then their sales during the fall season (oct-dec). Sales climb by at least 3-4x monthly compared to whatever they are during the mid yar period. If the PS4 is currently averaging like 400k-500k of sales now as a baseline (no high demand, no software pushing sales...etc) then that means in those months it will average around 1.2-2M sales per month worldwide. This is just going of sales patternes of every console before it.
It doesn't matter how much it has sold in the past 6 months. Every console's sales slows down considerably around this time of the year. There are years worth of evidence to back that claim. But how can you dispute the fact that consoles typically sell 3-4 times more than what they do now in those last 3 months of the year.
