Holidays. Roughly half of all sales in the year are during the fourth quarter. If the PS4 averages 150k per week for Q3, then that's about 6.5 million YTD going into Q4. 6.5M x 2 = 13M. The PS4 should easily clear 16 million LTD by the end of the year. |

| cheryl said: september, october, november, december. 4 months. 1 month = 4 weeks 4 month x 4 weeks = 16 weeks if ps4 sells worldwide about 120,000 consoles per week... 120,000 per week x 16 weeks = 1.920,000 consoles worldwide to the end of the year 2014. 10,1 million consoles + 1,920,000 = 12,020,000 total consoles in 1 year and 2 months in the market.
as i said, is very difficult to sell 14 million or more but not impossible.

Consoles typically sell more in the month of November and December then they do so the entire year.
The PS4 has sold 5.6 million year to date. That means in November and December of 2013 it sold at least 4.5 million at launch. Even if the PS4 sells 5 million in November and December, which is extremely conservative, it still has September and October, aka pre holidays to sell a million. In reality we would see 6-10 million in holiday sales, exceeding the sales of the rest of the year and totalling 16 million+ discounting September and October.
