Everyone expecting PS4 to be below 10 millions LOL you are so wrong!

PS4 dropping pretty fast already and will crash during during PS5 launch. Sales went down by 4M in 2019 already, and I don't see it dropping less this year when it's successor launches and steals it's spotlight on the holiday shelves, FF VII R can only do so much.

Lol you guys expecting PS5 doing worse at launch than PS4 did in 2013....(PS4 sold 4'2M to consumers in just a month and a half and XBO did 3'0M in the same timeframe). PS5/XBSX are going to have an even bigger launch than PS4/XBO had, specially PS5, in my opinion. The hype for both consoles during 2020 is going to be very high through the year, and if PS5 launches at 400$ like PS4 did...., well, we'll see records sales again, probably surpassing 5M.

My take:

Switch: Is going to be again around 18-20M but if i have to be precise...., let's say something in the middle, so around..., 19M but i won't be surprised if it reach or surpass 20M again. Without competition during most of the year, Switch is going to dominate sales again this year.

PS4: Well..., if PS3 did 8'5M in 2013, I expect PS4 doing better, just because it's a more popular console and because 1st half of 2020 is nuts, so maybe around 10M sold.

XBO: This console is going to fall hard in 2020, and like I expected, is not going to reach 50 lifetime before its successor appears, so i expect around 2'5-3'0M units sold.

PS5: 5M, like i said earlier, i really think PS5 is going to start even better than PS4 and there's no reason to think otherwise. I think Sony is going to be prepared to make such gigantic launch worldwide. They're going to aim very high with this lauch, i presume, maybe with Japan launching simultanously this time.

XBO: Like PS5, hype for the console is going to be high too, specially in America and UK, and i expect doing better than XBO, even if it's more expensive, so around 3'5M this time, maybe even 4M if it wins in America against PS5.

2020 is going to be a fascinating and historical year, software and hardwarewise. It's going to be fun....

I thought PS4 and XBO did less at launch, so I'll up my numbers somewhat. But considering how much hardware power they are promising, I don't see PS5 or XSX to be anything less than (heavy subventionized) $499, with $600 and up being a real possibility. And due to this high price, I expect them to do less than PS4 and XBO did.
