Why am I included in this? I focused mainly on The Last of Us Part II and its impact on PS4 sales. With the game now on an indefinite delay, I am not sure what it can do for moving hardware. Especially if it were to release alongside the PS5, if that were to come out this year in Japan.

Good for you believing the PS4 could still sell above 15K. Great. if it reaches 10 million, cool. If it doesn't, it doesn't deter from the fact that the console, overall, has done well.

Point is i asked you weather or not you agree with hoang that ps4 would only sell 15k for ff7 launch week you werent sure so clearly underestimated ps4 and that you didnt think ps4 could reach 10 million. It is looking very likely that it will reach 10 million now

Not being sure doesn't mean I was right or wrong. Not sure what you were trying to prove to me.

Its great that FFVII Remake moved hardware. Good for Sony and the PS4. Could TLoUII do it again? I don't know. Its a new gaming environment compared to last gen. The Switch is the more dominant console now, even with severe shortages affecting sales for two weeks in a row. Animal Crossing continues to sell like hotcakes even after FFVII Remake released. This year is not what we all expected, figuratively and literally. With the PS5 looming, who knows how long the PS4 can sell.

If the PS4 manages to reach 10 million, congrats to it. It finally manages to do what the Switch just did in a shorter time frame and without the need of a fad like the Wii had, even with all the hype and the third party support the Switch could ever dream of. We will eventually find out either by the end of the year or sometime next year, once the PS5 eventually becomes the focus.
