This i why I am not sure rather than just say it without explaining..
PS3 was hell expensive at launch it sales started slow. Pretty much my friends and me started buying it 12months or more after launch.
PS4 launched at a much better price we all got it within the first 12months of launch.
Now i am sure the same can be said for others. PS4 is very very front loaded with sales. This is why I am not sure if it will slow down or if there is growth to be had.
Don't forget at one stage Wii looked like it was going to hit 120+ million.
Will XBOX ONE X have an impact on sales? who know till t is out, but probably a case of too little too late.
Now some will argue that since XBOX ON selling bad th gen that their must be growth for the PS4. Last gen because f the PS3 price a lot of people were forced to buy the xbox 360 first to play the latest games. Last gen there would have been many multi console owners. This gen hour Microsoft cocked up o much with their DRM announcements that it turned people away from owning multi console.
I do however think it will cross the 100million but not 100% sure because Sony will leave it out on shelves long enough for it to happen at a reduced price for at least 2 years after PS5 has launched. So it may trickle over the line. |
This thread just keeps on giving. The ps4 is very front loaded sales wise? Jesus H Christ.

Absolutely. At the time it was when I posted. You can't argue Sony had a great launch with PS4 compared to PS3 and compared to it's competition the XBOX ONE.
Look at XBOX ONE sales. If Microsoft didn't fuck up their launch, they would have taken some of those early PS4 sales. Many Xbox fans switched to PS4s because of the BS Microsoft pulled at launch. A fair few have not even gone back now because what is the point? Also what has Microsoft really done to win back users this gen?
People were running over each other into stores at launch to grab a PS4. Whilst Xbox boxes were trampled on lol.
The thing that happened after the initial 3 years of launch window is that Sony kept the momentum going and have not made any major mistakes so its kept growing. If they sat on their ass like Nintendo did when the Wii was flying, it could have died down and lost momentum by now like the Wii did towards the end.
