I think At the same point in the 7th Gen Strategy Analytics was projecting fairly pathetic sales for PS3 over a similar time scale.
Xb one number looks on the high side of what's likely IMO. I think it is likely that the US market vs rest of world is more or less settled proportionally at 57% US. So that means over 32M Xb one's for USA. I think Kinect helped MS sell ~10 million more 360s i the USA than it otherwise would have, and with a shift back towards PS this gen (even if Xb one wins the swing has been back to PS) these factors add up to Xb one having a pretty hard time of cracking 30 million in the USA. Not impossible, but difficult. 4.3 million year 1, probably peak at 7 million at year 3. suggest LTD of 26-28M in the USA I think.
PS4 number possibly on the low side. If they are projecting 80M by 2019 when this generation will be largely over then I don't know how they can say PS4 is looking to repeat PS2 or even Wii, when 80 million is less than PS3.
Interesting the article says 18.5M shipped for PS4 when Sony explicitly said 18.5M sell through.
