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)? |
I'm not saying that, I'm saying that will likely take every single week to do, where x1 could potentially do it with a few weeks to spare.
I personally believe ps4 can sell 17.5m comfortably this year.
