Do you still predict +20,000,000 PS4 and +10,000,000 million XBO this year?

ill talk about shipped numbers.
but as i said, i will be hard.

6.5m shipped could be enough to reach 10m (3.5m the first three quarter is perfectly reasonable)

If we talk about sold throug, its even harder to achive for both. 
10m sold throuhg xbox one and 20m sold throuhg ps4 2015? impossible!

 

edit: while the ps4 sell in for CY 2014 was 15.4 million, they sold throuhg only 14.3m million units
to achive 20m sold through, the need to increase the sales by exactly 40%

Shipped numbers are basically sold numbers. After the initial shipment, all shipments will be supplying stores that will already have stock on shelves. 

what are u talking about?
sony is really great this gen with giving number. and thats the reason, why we have exact shipped and sold through number for the whole year

4.2 sold throuhg end of 2013 4.5m shipped
18.5 sold through end of 2014 10.9m shipped

that results in 14.3m sold through and 15.4m shipped for the calendar year 2014


but ur right. the sold through / shipped gap won't increase drasticly anymore. (it will increase some. at least, if the ps4 will sell more. if u sell more units on a weekly base, u need some more channel inventory so u don't run out of stock?
but more than 1.5 up to 2 million max (in the busy time) is not needed for that

still doesn't chance the fact, that reaching 20m sold through is 500k - 1m units harder than the same number shipped ;)
im not sure, if sony will countiue to give us sold through number, but if they do, ill expect the shipped number this year beining ~500k above the sold through number. 

 

p.s in 2015 sony hase one more market to supply with channel inventroy. CHINA! :D 
that could increase the sold through / sell in gap by 100k more
