Forums - Sales - PS4 will sell 200 million console sales this generation?

If they drop the price to 150$ and it gets hacked tomorrow, why not?


Then they would go out of business by selling HW at a loss and making very little from games, before they reach 200m.

PS3 + XBox 360 sales = 160 million

Even if all of those customers decide to buy a PS4 (unlikely to happen) you're still 40 million short. Where are those customers going to come from? It's not going to be from people who bought a Wii (we now they don't care about how powerful a console is, they wouldn't have bought a Wii if they did).

Cause there aren't kids growing up right now that will in the next couple years get their first console? Because markets that haven't been big in the past can't grow to become more important in the gaming business? I'm not saying that 200 million PS4s are realistic, but it is very well possible that the gaming market is going to grow in the next couple years.

OT: I don't think 200mil is likely, but every week we get new data I start to believe more in my own prediction that the PS4 will outsell the 3DS+Wii U combined.



As a major supporter of Playstation and almost everything they put out (sorry All Stars and KZ kinda) I have to say....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Playstation 4 will sell 100-150m MAX. I have full confidence it will come in above Xbox and WiiU (hopefully WiiU is closer) but this number is ridiculous and your year by year breakdown makes it even more ridiculous. You're basically saying there'll be shortages for 4 years with those numbers. I think PS4 deserves the Xbox market share, but that doesn't mean it's going to happen. Some people like having asymmetrical thumbs and paying more for less as far as services and hardware goes and many of them won't buy PS4s.

They wouldn't cut the price if they knew they'd go out of business. Obviously some bold cost-cutting strategies are being considered.

No



This is a goal that will NEVER happen. 200 million is just to damn hard right now with 2 other competitions, the wii u and Xbox One. But hey, I don't care how this generation goes, but i want Xbox One to fail. Dear God let it fail.

They plan a heist on their own suppliers?

Right now PS4 is at 4.2m, while 3DS+Wii U is at 47.8m. That's a 43.6m gap. How do you think the PS4 will manage to close that gap?

That right there is caring way too much.
