15 million, yes. 17 million? You cray cray.

15 by 2nd week of December 1.5 million for final 2 weeks I reckon.

Don't know. Still think that 17m is not as easy to achieve as some might think. I even heard people talking about 19 or 20m.

Good that I don't have a bet riding on it :)

I'm still thinking 17 M is just out of reach right now. But people who think 15 million is where PS4 maxes out just don't understand how these things work. 15 million from here to 1 Jan means only 3.6M and that's 0.4M less than PS3 (PS3!) at the same stage of its life. Does anyone sane really think no gaemez PS3 is going to have done better than PS4 will?  I don't think so. At this point it's a fairly sure bet that PS4 will sell another 5 million before the end of the year. meaning 16.5 milion as I have estimated for a while now. But 5.5 or even 6 million is in the realms of possibility, though without really compelling software (LPB isn't quite that) I don;t think it will get much beyond 5 million.

Well, I didn't say 15 max. It could very well reach 16m but that would already be quite a feat.

Ive come to relize the most accurate way to predict the PS4s sales is to take the Avg of what most believe s it wil do so arourd 16mil and tak on about a 1-1.5mil. Seriously it seems this thing was made solely to beat sales expectations
