Forums - Sony - Predict PS4's launch.

Edit: Double post.



Around the Network

The hype is strong with the PS4 so I think it might just pull off an insane start, I wouldn't call 1 Million first week in two regions impossible. I'm alo kind of wishing it will do that numbers, because then all this "consoles are dead" bullshit would stop in an instant.
I will stay by my prediction for 1 Million in all regions though. In the end, I don't think Sony can even produce 1 Million units for the first week in two regions. Building a console is a little bit more complicated than tapping an iphone together. There will be supply problems without a doubt.

In January I expect sales of 200.000 a week minimum with at least 1 major title releasing every month. I just hope Sony has learned from the vita launch. If Sony plays their cards right, the PS4 can very well dominate the console market once again and step into the footprints of the PS2.

Oh yeah, B_E_L_I_E_V_E! :P

Yeah I was thinking a november launch, also I forgot to factor in weather the 720 is launching around the same time.

Microsoft's biggest exclusives aren't launching with the Next Xbox.

Halo 4 released in 2012

Gears of War judgement released 2013

That leaves Forza which isn't a system seller. So, Sony has nothing to worry about.


Destiny. Not to mention that aren't ms working on 5 exclusives with their own studios? They'll be a Halo. Probably a Halo 1,2 and 3 "ultra" hd version.



If it launches at $399

It will be a very "smooth" launch

In Japan i expect the PS4 to open with with numbers a lot higher than PS3 but a small bit lower than what the Wii U sold but i think the PS4 numbers CAN settle at a decent level

I'm expecting the PS4 to open with 200-250k in japan but the sales will stay at a decent level after the launch period

The software will sell a lot better in Japan aswell



The PS3 opened at 80k and the Wii U opened at 300k in japan if anybody wanted a comparison



the cheapest sku will be equal or more than 499

$400 basic (250gb HDD)

$499 with a 500gb HDD, Killzone, and 3 months of PS+

It will launch late October

Free online play, store and app access, party chat, and sharing, but you must have PS+ to get streaming, spectating, and game take over functionality (obviously they'll still give stuff away especially on it especially once they get the PS1-3 streaming up).

I will have one launch day :)

ND game within 6 months (shown at E3) and it's NOT Uncharted 4

Infamous is a launch game

MM's new game will release Q2 2014

DS4 will cost $60

no proprietary memory

Killzone will be the game everyone shows it off with and uses all the social stuff for. The game will explode and have 5+ million sales lifetime (Resistance got 4m and it was a new IP mostly because it launched with PS3 and if not for the second game would've been a top tier franchise sales wise for Sony)

the cheapest!?  So you think they could go $599 for the most expensive again?

My Predictions...

 

  • $399-429 Price Point. This will allow Sony to be competitive. I'm pretty sure they don't want to be anywher near 600, but not as cheap as WiiU. They might possibly subsidize the price like the rumors say.
  • Launching sometime  between August and October. Sony will have a lead, even if its just a month or so. There is definitely a reason they announced early. They would have done the same with the Vita if not for the huge setbacks from the Tsunami/Earthquake.
  • Launch Games: Killzone Shadow Fall, inFamous Second Son, The Witness, Deep Down, GTAV, Knack, The Last Guardian. Tish covers all the genres almost; FPS, 3rd Person Action, Puzzle, RPG, Platformer, Adventure, Sandbox.
  • Somekind of Subscription Incentive, like something for PS+. A free game, first to try some of the new services, etc.
  • Projected Sales for the End of the Year: 5-8million by fiscal end.


      

      

      

Greatness Awaits

PSN:Forevercloud (looking for Soul Sacrifice Partners!!!)

Based on the console's specifications so far it is reasonably presumable to speculate a price point of 500 and up
