Also i think these numbers puts some of the over zealous PS fans in their place regarding the outrageous predictions being made for end of March 2014.


so will wii and x fans shit bricks or just quit gaming if or should i say when it does just that.


I dont see what wii and xbox fans have to do with this. My post was directed at people predicting north of 8 million in this thread:

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=175622&page=1#81

Hell some even predicted 9+ million...by end of March! Given the numbers that we have and the apparent manufacturing capacity  of Sony those predictions are certainly outrageous.


so thres no point in predicting.

they are and likely will sale as much as they can get on shelves.

I still dont see what Xbox and Wii fans have to do with my initial post?

Also making predictions is fun...but some people went a bit crazy with their PS4 predictions with nothing really to back it up.


they are the ones overzelesly voting low numbers.

its fun but when u know prod capacity and produst is sold out then theres nothing to predict.

PS4 and Xbox One in the US are a statistical tie



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

S'gonna be a brutal few months until games start releasing.  3DS should keep chugging along and Kirby will give it a helping hand, but for all the other consoles (aside from PS360 which should sell on library)... ehh.

I'm interested to see where the PS4 finds itself once it isn't so supply constrained.  I actually think it did pretty well this week, Europe especially.  

Xbox One is also going to be interesting to watch when it releases in the remaining European countries.

Vita and Wii-U... both awful this week.  Vita is given its only semblance of "decent" by the Japanese figures and same for Wii-U.  I wonder if there's going to be any traction gained by the latter in the USA thanks to the new bundles.


I really dont think theres much hope for WiiU or Vita in the west. Price and bundles imo will have a limited effect on sales for the consoles.

Theres deeper issues with these two consoles that probably cant be fixed in the near future.

Thats my negative outlook on the two black sheep in the console family XD

How? Close to 300K with supply issue this week, at this pace 7 million is easy by march.,...Not saying it will, but your post makes no sense. Plsu japan launch is february.

7 million is not outrageous....

8 million certainly is. My post was meant for those people predicting ~8 million or more..considering that my post makes a lot of sense.

To add to that what makes you think PS4 sales will stay exactly the same from now until end of March? It will obviously go down the further we get away from holiday season and the further away we are from launch. Theres also going to be about a month period where the PS4 wont have big software titles coming out. All these factors impact sales, this will make it harder for them to reach 7 million. Based on the numbers we have now its a bit early to say 7 million is "easy" by March.

You also mentioned that supply issues is impacting sales, if thats the case and if demand remains the same as you predict it will then remain an issue until March.

 13 weeks and half to sell 3.8 million, that an average of around 290k a week with a japan launch thrown in the middle and the release of one of it's biggest titles of the year, sales still don't show the full demand of the system so slaes wont drop majorly any time soon. Explain why 8m is insane?

Because it will mean that Sony needs to sell just about every console it can produce. Actually that still wont make it 8 million if we go by the 1.2 rumour

Not only is 8 million out of the rumoured production range but it also assumes that demand will not wane at all over the next 3 months.

And finally theres the assumption that Japan will have a really good launch with not much japanese centric software and considering that home consoles dont sell that well in japan anymore.

Because 45 countries > 3 North American countries



Relatively great Vita sales.

Surprised the sales weren't lower considering the harsh weather conditions in the US.



The difference between PS4 and WiiU is now less than on million.

The End is Near.......

It looks like your XB1 sales prediction may be incorrect by next week.
