At 100k per week it will take the Ps4 1000 weeks (19 years :D) to get to 100 million. Ok there are ups and downs, say 250k per week which none of the current gen can reach. It will take the Ps4 7 years. It will sell more than 250k weekly? At 400k per week it will take the Ps4 4 years to get to 100 million. If you ask me, i don't think the Ps4 or any other 7th gen to get that rate with those games or those weekly sales. So yes at the rate of 100k per week the Ps4 won't reach 100 million. |
So, how exactly do you expect the Wii U to reach 50-60m? It has been out for 87 weeks averaging ~77k per week from VGC data. At that rate it would take nearly 700 weeks or over 13 years to reach the top end of your prediction. Even if it was averaging 250k per week (which you don't expect any consoles to do) it would take more than 4 additional years. Considering the Wii U won't be averaging anywhere close to 250k per week any time soon, that date will get pushed further into the future.
Also, 250k average per week isn't really that far from reality for the PS4. Right now it is at ~243k per week since launch. That number will continue dropping over the summer, but will pick back up during the holidays. One week at 1m around Christmas will bring 5 100k summer weeks up to a 250k average across the 6 weeks.
