Forums - Sony - Sony Raises Its Sales Forecast For PlayStation 4

MARCUSDJACKSON on 14 June 2013

as all expected i'm sure. early adopters better get there hands on the future of gaming.

i on the other hand (late adopter) will see all in 3 yr.'s. it seems the late adopter is a dieing bread so an earlier purchase may happen.

Funny, I remember when they claimed that they would sell 16 million units within year one. I thought they were crazy, now I m thinking they could sell more if they can make that many. Which is what I think they are doing right now. They better be making 10 million console for launch at the very least. We might have a record-breaker in our hand. Better have extras while you are perceived favorably then have a shortage.

It is 16 million for fist fiscal year (ends in March 2014) and it is combined... PS4 + PS3 + PS2... PS3 alone will do 10 million.

I'm a believer but 16 million in a year for PS4 alone... I guess either PS2 and Wii did that just one time in the peak year.

You never know, The ps4 could go on to be the greatest selling system of all time :/ or it may just pull ps3 numbers.

 

Who knows.

This was never announced by Sony just a rumor. It was supposed to be 16 Million in the fiscal year 2013 thats until 31.03.2014 this rumor is and was ridiculous.

Should have read the end of the thread before making my comment... Yes I agree your theory seems entirely plausible to me.

It isn't a theory, it is a point of fact from financials. 


Its pretty obvious that its a fact if the 16 Million forecast actually is true. The 16 Million is a rumor and that theory of his is the only plausible way that this rumor could be true.  So yes its a theory, a theoretical explanation on how its possible that the 16 Million rumor is true.

If you think PS2 is dead now.. PS3 will do about 10 million?

If we look at the Wii-u predictions, they expected to do 4-5 million from launch...with good sentiment on the PS4 its possible that it could do 4-6 million by march... thats probably why they are saying 16 million.

I think it has a very good chance of beating the Wii-u's launch figures, even though it has competition from the XboxOne (remember the wii-u didn't)... So i would say 5-6 million would be a good target.
