| theprof00 said: C'mon guys, at least put some thought into your bets. x1 can do 9m this year alone, but 18m seems like the max for ps4. For the sake of numbers, that means ps4 will sell 7.4m faster than x1 sells 2.9m Now THAT is a good wager. |
18M? PS4 is at 18.5M as of Jan 4th. That leaves 16.5M to go to hit 35M. It did 14.3M in 2014, and that was without dropping the price a billion times, bundling games all year, and with the metaphorical "it has no gaemz".
Now, it has a slew of exclusives coming all year and games that will have a larger impact on the platform vs Xbox (such as Type 0), and a possible price cut (longest PS has gone without dropping the price was 19 months. That was with the extremely popular PS2 that, essentially, had no competition. Quickest was 8 months with the PS1. E3 2015 would have the PS4 on the market for 19 months).
You don't see 16.5M happening? Even when, historically as Ryng_Tolu pointed out, PS increases by 30% in year 2 (meaning ~18.6M sales for 2015, putting the PS4 at ~37M at years end)?
