300k each week in oct?

no way. lets go with 250k = 1m

ps3 best october was 1.1m (after slim model release in september)

 

100% oct - nov bump? at MAX. ps3 never did that. it was always 9x%

 

1m oct

1.8 - 1.9m nov

3m dec

 

that would still be below 6m

 

 

 

i would go for 800k oct, 1.5m nov and 3m dec --> 5.3m

Iv seen this before from you and you really go to get it through your head that the PS3 and PS4 are two different beasts in way different market positions.  You are basing your estimate for a world wide gaming console market leader, that means leding in EVERY market.  To a 3rd place loser for much of its life.  

How do you not see the fallacy of it ?

Certain markets 360 could be used as a base line others the wii or even PS2, but guessing what PS4 will do based on what PS3 did is comical.  

because its still a playstation. just a better selling playstation.

it did not magically become a xbox or wii. its still a playstation.

thats the reason it will have a HUGE december, but just "decent" october and november

 

are there any killer apps or bundles for october or november? no

september got the 2 biggest playstation games. destiny and fifa

now we got a dry october (just small release, no big ones. no ac, no batman, no battelfiled) and will see a drop (5 -> 4 weeks is doing the rest)

early november? halo is xbox only and call of duty is still an xbox game and bundle.

 

the rocket starts to take off end of november (lbp, far cry 4 and gtaV remaster) and black firday. the pace will continue until christmas and the week after.

so until the second week of november is over, the ps4 ist still "just" a playstation console...

ps4 sales in december will be bigger than october + november
