As I had suggested several times this year, 17 million for PS4 is on the optimistic side, but still possible. My last estimates (bringing slight adjustments to the original estimate a year ago) suggests :
Quote:
PS4
Original estimate : 13.7 - 17 mil
Half2 / Half1 estimate : 15.7 - 18 mil
Halves analysis update : 3.4 / 3.49 * (15.7 - 18 mil) = 15.3 - 17.5 mil
XB1
Original estimate : 6.3 - 9.8 mil
Half2 / Half1 estimate : 8.1 - 9.5 mil
Halves analysis update : 3.58 / 3.49 * (8.1 - 9.5 mil) = 8.3 - 9.7 mil
So we can now confidently say, by the end of 2014
PS4 will sell around 16-17 million
XB1 will sell around 8-9 million
