While Wii dropped like a stone after year 5, Wii's 5th year was basically equal to PS4's current top year. At this rate PS4 will need to have serious legs to get to 100 million. I expect PS4 to peak in annual sales this year, or possibly to be past its peak already. If it's going to make it past Wii I'd say 2021 or '22 |
By the end of FY2017/2018, the PS4 would be at 78M shipped if Sony's forecast is met, the Wii lead would be trimmed that 11M lead by 3M to 8M.
5th fiscal year:
Wii: 15.08M
PS4 forecast: 18M
6th fiscal year:
Wii: 9.54M
PS4:
7th fiscal year:
Wii: 3.99M
PS4:
8th fiscal year:
Wii: 1.22M
PS4:
Personally, I don't foresee the PS4 dropping as quickly before the PS5 is launched.
