"It is well within reasonable limits, this sales prediction." WHO SAID IT WASN'T? THROWING PERSONAL OFFENSES WON'T HELP YOU HERE.

in case you were too busy to notice, I already claimed those numbers are doable. but upon hearing a comment saying "sony has the games to guarantee it", I had to disagree because of the aforementioned reasons.

"All signs point to a wildly sucessfull PS4 launch, and demand will remain high for a long time." NO. All sign point to a sucessfull launch followed by a big drop after holidays. the reason for wich post holidays demand shouldn't be that high was already explained (most games on ps4 being available elsewhere.

This has been the case for nearly every console that has ever launched, not just the PS4.

and what a coincidence, nearly every console needed some time to stabilize itself after the launch period. wii was like the only one who didn't and what a coincidence again, it had an exclusive that made people rush to buy it.

No, the Ps2 didnt need any time to stabilize.

Blueray in the ps3 didn't move jacks#1t

Yeah, Blu-ray was no DVD. VHS actually got fucked up over time, so aside from better quality image right off the bat, there was that long term functionality, normal people were dying to switch over. Not only that, DVDs were just as cheap, and often even cheaper than VHS.

On the flipside, very few of us had a HDTV back in 2006 due to how expensive they were, so functionally it was really no different than DVD for most of us, and the costs of individual Blu-rays were insane. Add to that digital video becoming the standard and the format never really had a chance.
