Forums - Gaming - What does the PS4 need to become even better than the king?

I've said it before and I'll say it again. PS4: 50-60mil. WiiU/XB1: 30-35mil. This generation is going to be significantly smaller than the last one. No console in the 8th gen will reach 100m.




8th gen predictions. (made early 2014)
PS4: 60-65m
WiiU: 30-35m
X1: 30-35m
3DS: 80-85m
PSV: 15-20m

Idk in my opinion it could do it if that Sony TV service is the cable killer we have all been waiting for...

Fancy a bet? The PS4 will sell more than 60m within the next 5 years.

I'll take that action. So by November 2018? I plan to be a billionaire living in a castle by then so even if I lose, I still win.

Just continue selling better than the King... the others things come with the time

Why are people so close minded about another PS2, sales wise? If I'm not mistaken the worlds population has grown a few billion since 2001 and will continue to rise. Now, I'm not saying the PS4 will hit PS2 numbers, or that consoles will resemble how they do now in the coming decades, but I can see a console (or what would be considered a console when it happens) to definitely beat PS2 numbers easily in the future


People just speak in exacts way too much. Thing is, the DS already passed the PS2 in 2012 and the PS4 is already the fastest system to 1 million of all time, so I laugh at people who keep saying "it'll never happen" like they know what they're talking about.

These are the same people who said handhelds are dead because of shitty phone and tablet games that get boring after 2 seconds. They honesly have no clue.

If Sony ever get's their head out of their arses as far as the stock situation goes and they spring up a great blockbuster first party franchise, the PS4 can easily reach 100 million again. Just look at how quickly it's selling out when ever it even touches store shelves ffs.

PS4 is a BEAST

How much significantly smaller?



A price cut and GTA/COD exclusivity would make it sell much more than the PS2.

This an honest question. Why do you guys like the PS2 so much? It was the wii of its gen. In my eyes the console was an unreliable piece of shit and completely inferior to its competitors. Gamecube was the console to own if you wanted to play the best exclusives that gen. You have to be j rpg only gamer to call the PS2 king. I don't understand how people can bashthe wii and wii U but praise the ps2. PS3 already surpassed the PS2 and completely changed sonys reputation as far as quality consoles go. The PS4 will do the same.

How much significantly smaller?

Well.. When all is said and done:

Wii: 102m - WiiU: 35m
DS: 155m  - 3DS: 85m
PS3: 85m  - PS4: 60m
PSP: 85m  - PSV: 20m
360: 82m  - XB1: 35m

Those are my predicitions for hardware. The attach rate for software will be higher on average. This gen will be more about the core gaming community. Last gen casual gaming was all the rage. Half of those Wiis, PS3s, and 360s out there only have a 2 or 3 games to go along with them.

Sorry, I should have been clearer. I meant how significantly smaller will this gen be?
