The only way ps4 sells 50k units ever again is with a price cut or some sort of promotion. Also, I think you might be overestimating TLOU a bit much

Problem is, PS4 needs already a promotion to get above 10k now. Even a 10k Yen pricecut combined with FF7R and GoT won't keep those sales up for long anymore.

You think The Last of Us Part II, as great of a game its anticipated to be, can create enough movement in Japan to boost PS4 sales above 15K?
Although the first game did relatively well with how it was in Japan, its a completely different climate now. Animal Crossing is dominating COMG charts by a mile compared to even FF7 Remake, which was arguably the most anticipated game ever according to Famitsu readers. The Switch is THE gaming platform in Japan outside of mobile (and maybe PC).

You need one hell of a boost if you want to push a 100 week average from 7k to 10k.

Marth said:
Just so we're clear you need like 4x 100k weeks to boost that average so high, numbers that the PS4 won't reach anymore
Or like 25 weeks of 20k, which will already be insanely hard to reach especially that amount.

I neither agree nor disagree. I'm just stating that TLoU part II, a Western-focused game, may not have it easy with the current state of gaming in Japan. What makes you think it could boost it above 15K, or even reach 50K according to what you are predicting?

Yep, imo, there is no chance the PS4 gets a price cut now and thus PS4's higher sales predictions are fairly delusional.

Farsala said:
The PS4 is struggling to have decent legs at its current price point, and soon the PS3 will overtake it launch aligned. In addition, the PS4 will have its legs cut when the PS5 releases much like the PS3 did. Generally the January- March period is important for PS sales and it is already down 240k YoY. A price promotion in Feb/ March plus FF7 would have been great, but FF7 was delayed.
|
How wrong were all of you? Ps4 wont ever sell 50k in a week? Its impossible to reach 10 million?
|
@bold, not my prediction.
The 10m still stands, even with the obvious FF7 boost, the PS4 is down 180k YoY almost a 1/3 of the way through the year. Remember the PS4 sold 1.2m last year, so being 180k down does not bode well.
