PS4: 95m
PSV: 15m
3DS: 75m
WiiU: 25m


Why 96? It seems like such a random number when all your others were divisible by five.

Actually that was a typo! I edited it just before you qouted me. 


Ah right, thanks. I thought I was going crazy!

This is crazy?

Nha, crazy is estimates 170,000,000 PS4 lifetime like me.


Heh, yeah I don't see the PS4 doing as well overall as many seem convinced or the Wii-U continuing to struggle as much as it has been. But I only expect a 35M from the Wii-U, despite the number of epic looking upcoming games Nintendo I feel like only Splatoon transcending reality could really put its projection back up as high as the PS4's or 3DS's. At this point I think the PS4 will achieve 85M - partially because I don't think the Nintendo fans who will return to Nintendo are gonna feel as abused and dismissed as last gen and partially because I thin PC gaming may actually grow a good bit in the west this gen. I also think the 3DS will achieve around 80M and the Vita about 25M.

I said that PS4 sell 170 million but this more of prediction is hoping... more realistic between 140-160 million (that is PS2 level).

3DS 100 million, Wii U 40 million, and Vita 20 million...

I'm more octimist like all console(apart PSVita, but 25-30 million is not impossible)


I can understand your numbers, and you're being optimistic is great. But I don't think the PS4 will have as crazy an overall life as the PS2; didn't the PS2 sell like it did in part because of the cheap DVD functionality? My optimistic estimate says it'll do much better than last gen but not as good as the PS2.

If I were really allowing myself to be optimistic it'd be the Wii-U that truly benefited, but even if Zelda, Fatal Frame, Bayonetta, Star Fox, Smash Bros, Captain Toad Treasure Tracker, Fire-Emblem x Shin-Megami-Tensei, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Devil's Third, Kirby's Rainbow Curse, Yoshi's Woolly World, Mario Party, and Splatoon, as well as a Metroid, an F-Zero, a Golden Sun, an Okami, an Animal Crossing, a Paper Mario, a Mario Galaxy, a Punch-Out, an Ace Detective, a Proffessor Layden, and an Eternal Darkness successor all ended up as 90+ Wii-U games within the next year and a half I still can't see it over-coming the negative herd-mentally its up against. - I guess I'm really pessimistic about humanity.
