PS4 has shipped 4.9 million this year so far. It's currently down YOY 43%. It won't ship more than 9 million at best in 2020, probabily around 8.5 million, which would mean a bit over 117 million lifetime. After that, PS4 won't go much father, being down 40-45% this year even with the COVID boost really should show that PS4 is dying fast. Will surpass 120 million and maybe reach 125 million which is what i'm thinking honestly, though forget 130 million or more. |
This is because when I said "this year" I just added up the sales from jan 2020 -> now according to VGCz numbers.
Thats around 7,8m.
Yeah abit over 117m by end of the holidays seems like a reasonable assumption.
If it does "well" it might just barely edge 118m by then.
I'm hopeing they do a super slim, and a cheap price for 3rd world countries or places were perphaps it hasnt sold that well yet due to price.
PS2 kept selling forever, and the PS4 has a fantastic library of games, ontop of early on alot of games will be cross gen.... I could see a cheap slim pumping some life into the PS4 sales, and keep it going until 130m.
Ontop of that next gen XSX and PS5 are launching abit pricey at 499$.
A super slim PS4 at like 149$ might just do the trick, if the other option is to fork out 499$ (which not everyone can just do).
