Predict Sales!!!

PS4 - 12m
Wii U - 3m
Xbox One - 500k

Not sure where you got the figures for the original Xbox and Saturn (to my understanding they sold 2 and 9 million respectively) but:


PS4: 14M

Wii U: 5.5M

Xbone 1.5M

added link to handheld thread in op

XBOne 1m
Wii U 2.5m
PS4 7m

total 10.5m

i believe it will be down Generation over generation but WiiU and PS4 will both be between 5-10 million
so
PS4-7 Million
WiiU-8 Million
XB1- 1.3Million
PS4 won't do too great and while WiiU is very close to PS3's sales at the time(both surpased 1 million at the same time with a close price(PS3 got a price cut before releasing)) i can't see WiiU matching the PS3 and XB1 is simply an XBOX it can't improve much

Guys this is "LIFE TIME" sales. I voted 25 million+.

I figure that the PS4 will sell better than the PS3 for sure because of lessened competition from their competitors (Nintendo). Microsoft on the other hand doesn't matter at all in this market.

XBONE = 2.5m
WiiU = 8m
PS4 = 15m+

TOTAL = 25.5 million+

I would say right under 15 mill

More than 1..

Honestly, I doubt it will be much more than 20 million. Because honestly, other than FInal Fantasy, what killer apps do consoles as a whole have left in Japan? ESPECIALLY since the Wii U will be lucky to break 7 million, and the One will be lucky to break 1 million. Even if the PS4 sells somewhat more than the PS3 has so far, that's still only about 20 million.

In order for the 8th gen to outsell the 7th, the Wii U needs to recover quickly AND the PS4 needs to do better than its predecessor. And the One will almost certainly do worse than the 360, making it all the harder.

I think the beginning of the end of console gaming as a mainstream form of gaming in Japan was when the PS4's launch in the country was delayed into 2014. It's only a matter of time before console gaming becomes largely irrelevant within Japan. Whether Japanese companies continue to make console games in abundance afterwards, or aim for the internal market with handheld games, is going to be interesting to find out.
