Now that we're 16 weeks in, enough time has passed and we've got our first financial reports of the new year from Sony and Nintendo, it's time for my personal favorite part of this thread, PROJECTIONS!!!
At this point in time during their respective years, the PS3, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and Nintendo Switch sold through these percentages of their sales:
PlayStation 3 '14 - 37.72248446%
PlayStation 4 '14 - 22.03296402%
Xbox 360 '14 - 30.72062864%
Xbox One '14 - 16.40180156%
Nintendo Switch '20 - 23.87841713%
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If each of these percentages were to hold for all 5 systems this year, these would be the estimated final yearly totals for all 5 in 2021.
PlayStation 4 '21 -
Worldwide: ~2,226,388 units
