Instead of posting a gif, how about making an argument, for why it can't reach 21 million?

You are saying that the PS4 will sell almost 7 million consoles over the span of a month, with both of its competitiors aggresively slashing prices and having the bigger hits over the time period.

Yeah, the GIF is self-explanatory.


He is actually saying six and half million in six weeks and it's worth noting that the competition is currently having very little impact on the PS4, especially the WiiU. Additionally, it doesn't matter what games are being released on the other consoles because the Xbox has very little presence outside of the USA/UK and Halo isn't going to change that. That being said, I think that 21 million by year's end is a bit of a stretch, I personally expect the PS4 to reach approximately 20 million but I have been wrong before.

He's comparing it with the Wii, which was MUCH cheaper than the competition and had a killer game (Twilight Princess) out at the time.

Yeah, no, this is a bad comparison. The PS4 is $50 more expensive than a One bundled with free games and much more expensive than a Wii U, and has no real killer exclusive out right now, while the Wii U has Smash and the One has MCC. 

I doubt the PS4 reaches anywhere close to 21 million. Maybe 18-19 at most, but not 21.


The PS4 doesn't need exclusive games, superior multiplatform titles are doing the job just fine. Additionally, Grand Theft Auto is a lot more popular than Twilight Princess and it's only one of many games releasing for the system this month. Face it, there is no competition for the PS4 in any region outside of Japan, USA and UK. I doubt that the PS4 is going to sell 21 million units but I also think that your 18-19 million prediction is too low.
