Its 1st 15 months is the slowest sales time a console will have? and  "just a 50% increase"

It isnt happening.


I already answered this. A 50% increase for a slew of new exclusives, one from one of Sony's biggest franchises of last gen, an overall exclusive line-up that is widely regarded as a massively more impressive than last year's line-up, actual Japan focused releases, huge 3rd party line-up that will be in PS4's favor, the first official price cut and the Chinese release.

Yeah a 50% increase over the next 15 months is the least people should expect compared to the last 15 months.

Explain why you think it isn't happening. Can you?

Common sense.

50% is the LEAST people should expect?

So the LEAST they should expect is 32m in the next 15 months.  I think we should leave it there and check back in March 2016.

51m shipped by March 2016 you say. 


Where's this supposed common sense exactly? What is it based on? Explain the details that make such a demand increase unlikely or as impossible as you claim?

So far you haven't provided any actually logical reasoning to go along with your claims. It's one thing to have an opinion, but you haven't given any actual details that support this line of thinking.

 

I have for mine, demand will be much higher with so many games launching, I'll add that there isn't any real competition, because Wii U doens't command the 3rd party audience towards it, it's a very different audience entirely. XB1 basically has nothing in the way of exclusives coming for at least a few months assuming that Fable Legends launches in the first half of this year, besides that and so far MS hasn't announced anything to take the focus off of PS4 and draw focus to gain new audience sales for the 3rd party market.

Basically Sony has the lion's share of new year customers that will have more games to buy on PS4, the system's overall library will be huge before XB1 has anything to gain some attention back.

 

The sheer amount of exclusives coming and quality behind them is huge compared to last year, the same goes for 3rd party and when you couple that with the competition not really competing (I mean Wii U has great exclusives, but it's not the same market as Sony's going for), a market that hasn't been tapped for years, price cut to open up accessibility for people that couldn't afford the console before or people that were simply waiting for PS4 to dropm down in price a bit more it all couples together to vastly increase the appeal of the system for people that haven't bought into the 8th gen yet.

 

So if demand is there, lack of competition, supply isn't an issue, what is there that can prevent this happening?

Yes I say 51M shipped by March next year, I honestly don't think it's a ridiculous notion.
