EDITED TO ADD: In regards to the poll question, the Wii hadn't yet passed 42M as of the end of 2014 in the U.S. and is still less than 102M globally. Based on my own personal projections, I estimate about 55-60 million units sold between the PS4 and XBO in the U.S. and 150-170M globally.

I will go with 50-55 million in the US and 130 million globally for PS4 and XB1.

I feel like that is a very conservative estimate. This gen the PS4 breaks 100m, and Xbox should go over 30m as well.

 

Why do I think so?

1) It shipped 25.3mil units by end of june (3mil, up more than 300k from same time last year).

This is dispite it still haveing the same price as it launched at. Once it gets a price cut, sales will be crazy.

Its best years are still ahead of it, the sales dispite being crazy good, are no where near where they could be.

Think of how many exclusives it has comeing in 2016?

 

"Anyway. You guys should know that PS4 sold better this quarter than Xbox One + Xbox 360 + Wii U + Wii + 3DS combined...."  - quote ZhugeEX

3) project morpheus: This is the new thing that casuals will want to try (the wii mote effect will kick in).

I think VR is going to be big... and the place its going to sell the most is on the consoles where experianceing VR will be the cheapest / easiest to do.
