| javi741 said: It's crazy how quickly PS4 sales dropped off the cliff. Just a year ago it seemed inevitable and pretty much guaranteed the PS4 will outsell the Gameboy's 118.69M, now it is up in the air whether or not the PS4 will outsell the Gameboy. |
It's mostly Sony's doing.
There are still some people out there that would like a PS4. If Sony cared about getting PS4s out there, they would've dropped the price and shipped more consoles. But they don't want to take bigger losses on the PS4 than they already have and they also want to focus on manufacturing the PS5.
Still, 115 million and counting is very high. PS5 probably won't sell that much in its lifetime, or might just barely manage it.
I think the Switch will outsell the PS4 by the first half of 2023. It could happen in 2022, though.
Lifetime Sales Predictions
Switch: 161 million (was 73 million, then 96 million, then 113 million, then 125 million, then 144 million, then 151 million, then 156 million)
PS5: 122 million (was 105 million, then 115 million) Xbox Series X/S: 38 million (was 60 million, then 67 million, then 57 million. then 48 million. then 40 million)
Switch 2: 120 million (was 116 million)
PS4: 120 mil (was 100 then 130 million, then 122 million) Xbox One: 51 mil (was 50 then 55 mil)
3DS: 75.5 mil (was 73, then 77 million)
