That's  it.

In the last show Patcher says he believes they are making a whopping 1.4 million Ps4 per month for the next year. He also believes MS is making 1 million xbox ones per month.

I think if it is right the difference in sales for 2014 will be hugew.

For the actual demand it is "only" 1.4m for sure.

Sounds about right, I've also seen 1.2m thrown around a lot.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Well, this is the only aspect of MP I actually trust is his inside on how many consoles can each company manufacture... Thats a pretty good number though

We will know with the next quarterly report (unless they lump the numbers together, which I fear they will do).
1.4m per month is out of question, though.
They started in August and given how "simple" the innards of the PS4 look like, they could have reached maximum capacity early september.
With 300k units per week as a ceiling, which would mean roughly 17 weeks of production and 5.1mio units end of december. That number is "dead on" if we assume 2-3 weeks of production on ships somewhere and 4.2mio sold. I'm more inclined to assume that Sony flew in around one week for Xmas, so around 1.15mio units per month is a reasonable number. (1.4mio/month would also seriously clash with Sony's 5mio sold prediction by end of march).

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

He is prediction Sony will reach 1.4m units per month now in 2014... before it was lower... that's fits with your maths too.

The 5 million shipped in March is already out of question... Sony will post a revision in Forecast this quarter releases... maybe 7 million shipped?
