I have no doubt that PS4 will outsell it

Around the Network

how many have they shipped to uk,what xbox doesn't that have a better chance

both probably fall short



                                                                                                                                        Above & Beyond

   

I can happen... but I doubt it will.

No.

People like to look at past launches and draw the conclusion that it is easily possible. However, the most recent PlayStation product, the Vita, featured the same price as its predecessor, the PSP. and was agreed upon to have a significantly better launch lineup. Thus people were expecting a good launch, but in reality the PSP beat the PSV roughly 4:1.

Now that the PS4 is cheaper than the PS3 and also has a better launch lineup, people figure that the PS4 launch should be the same or better than the PS3 launch. Not going to happen with the current economical conditions. Besides, the PS4 is just like the PSV in that it lacks the brand strength of the PS3 and PSP. A lot of people bought Sony's seventh generation machines based on blind faith, this isn't going to repeat.

Number time: The PS4 won't sell more than 120k units during its launch week and won't pass the Wii U by the end of 2013.


Wasn't there an Austrian guy and a bunch of other folks who used to employ this tool to show that the Wii would outsell the PS2 easily, some time back in the day? Maybe my memory is shot.

Obviously you made that up since PS2 had a bigger launch aligned. I notice you enjoy talking negatively about Ninty. Are you like CGI, as in you claim to be a PC fan but are really a Sony fan? Looks like the shoe fits.

So the recent news about CoD Ghosts PS4 outselling CoD Ghosts Wii U got me looking at the UK sales charts and I noticed that the Wii U has "only" sold ~181,000 units so far over here.

Now this is quite a number to reach in a Week, but I take you back to http://gamesindustry.biz/content_page.php?aid=23781">PS3 launch. Sony sold 165,000 PS3s in only 2 days at a launvh price of £425, during March. Its worth noting that the PSP actually sold 185,000 units during launch in the UK, so the numbers have been done before. 

Anyone think its gonna happen?


Not with Mario 3D World coming out.

Wow so 3DS could actually sell more than PS4 every week for the rest of the year.

Yes, but I don't understand what's "wow" about it. Sony will manage to maybe ship ~3 million PS4s until end of 2013, while Nintendo will ship 6 or more million 3DS/2DSes in that quarter, so it looks pretty obvious to me that 3DS will sell better.

I meant every week individually. Launch week PS4 could definitely beat 3DS.
