Consoles usually sell about 50% of their units in any given calendar year during the last calendar quarter.

That means Q4 = Q1 + Q2 + Q3.

PS4 will have sold a bit over 6m in Q1/2/3. So we can add 6m for the rest of the year and get about 16m PS4s sold by the end of 2014.

 

Now, as for Xbox One. For the purpose of this prediction I'm going to be extra generous to it, just to prove that I have a pretty wide margin to win this.

It has sold 2m consoles so far this year. If we do the same math and add 2m, that gives us 7m by the end of 2014. But let's make it 8m. That means 5m sales per year.

I definitely agree with the OP statement, but...


Doesn't Q4 starts in October?

If yes, then PS4 has 7M Q1/2/3 and XB1 has 2.7M Q1/2/3.

So, by your math, that would mean end of 2014: 18.4M for PS4 and XB1 8.5M.

Where am I wrong?
