| binary solo said: But you're still posting as if 16 million is a fairly unlikely prospect, when in fact 16 million is highly likely. So while 15 million might not be your max what you're writing indicates that 15.X million is your effective max because you think higher than that is not ver realistic. But I'm saying 16 million really represents a fairly modest achievement for holiday sales in the context of how PS4 has sold Jan-Sept. 4.6 million for the holiday period for a console selling as well as PS4 up to now is really more like a minimum expectation, not a maximum. Supply issues won't stop holiday sales from reacing as high as 6 million, but beyond 6 million you are probably going to start to see supply problems. So there's nothing on the supply side that could prevent PS4 from surpassing 16 million. |
Actually I do not have a real prediction for it. I'll just wait and see how well it will do. So when I say that it will be quite a feat, I'm not saying that I didn't expect it but that I like that it got that far.
I haven't done the numbers but at that moment in time 17m looked very out of reach and 15m feasible. 16 would be a good middleground. Everything above is bonus.
And yes, I'm aware that all I just said sounds like backpaddling as if I try to damage control a flawed prediction^^ But I really don't have a stake in the PS4 sales so I think I will be pleasantly surprised by anything above 15.
I do however have a stake in X1 but I'm fairly certain that I will win that bet so I'm not worried much about sales these holidays.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
