Last time I made two threats about ps4 sale predictions and VGchartz user where right with the poll, let see if it will be the case this time. I personally think it will be less than 60K since Ps4 Pro is stealing slim sales away, and also the PS3 price cut was higher and had a bigger HDD etc...

¨Pro stealing slim sales away ? In japan ?

They don't care about power at all, they prefer a little console. 

60k is too low, especially with the ps4 being out of stock for weeks, and persona 5 bundle already sold out.

 Actual I was thinking less than 70k, but for some reason I typed in 60K lol.

Yeah and No.  It is true that Japanese ussualy don't care about graphics and it is also true that Sony is pushing the slim more than the Pro there (which is the oppossite situation in the west) but we have to considere that the Pro was first at all the big  online retailer I visited until it got "sold out" ( price increasing up to 10000 Yen like it was a limited edition ps4 lol), looks like sony wasn't expecting to ship lot of pro units in Japan, but I still think lot of poeple will wait for the pro. And Also with my analyse for the past 2 years counting the number of weeks and multiply it by the number of supposed sale numbers(5X~20K=100K+) isn't actually out it works, if the ps4 were to sell 100k+ it would be because of the slim and its pricecut and not the because of the number of weeks it went out of stock. Also the Persona bundle sold out quite quickly witout being in the top of online retailer chart like the pro was so probably low shipement there.

so that is why I don't think it will sell more than 70K, I might be wrong but this is just the result of my analyse.
