1.5m/year is 29k/week on average. You don't think PS4's third week can be higher than PS3's average weekly sales (it should only need about 35k to top WiiU WW)

bolded: there's another of the points I wrote.

Elaborate. I'm not following. Do you disagree or what?

Point 3: (heavily) underestimating wii u sales.

Huh? It sold 36k this week.

Donkey Kong, man! The Wii U will easily keep up with the PS4 when DK arrives, never underestimate Nintendo! So, with DK boosting weekly sales up to 250k weekly, it's not unreasonable to assume that Mario Kart will drive them further up to about 400k, with Smash thrown in we'll see it climb up to 550k average and John Lucas' 35 million by January 1st 2015 will be only 6-7 million off!

I want to see where this guy is now, his prediction is off the chart, literally.

FIFA is a beast. I hope the next one gets a huge visual and gameplay upgrade though. Cross-gen port is holding it back

Yeah, I played the Barca/Madrid demo and visually was a bit underwhelmed. I will get on PS4 FIFA, but right now content to wait until FIFA 16.

I don't understand why you people still bother with Zero. Seriously, you're getting nowhere.

Boom! Neither of you make any sense! We were talking about Japan. So America has any bearing in Japan, in what way? And also, show me where and when I made any west based sales predictions for the ps4.... I'll wait while you come up with something.... That's my implication to you.... Boom! Lol, what a joke. The whole subject was Japan, but you guys want to twist things into what it wasn't, so if you can, try and stick to the original subject. If you can handle that. I'll remind you again. It was about how the ps4 won't sell like crazy in Japan... JAPAN, and show me, again, where I ever made a sales prediction about the ps4 in the west.... You guys are lost. Boom! Lol

Here it is. This is what I have to say:

Lol, we were also talking about PS4 and for some reason you wanted to bring PS3 into it. How is PS3 comparable to PS4 IN JAPAN yet we can't even use sales in the West as proof that PS4 is way more popular than PS3?

You clearly misunderstood. Boom! Chillax, man.

Because console sales in America have been stronger than ever. Japan on the other hand hasn't been. It's an observation, a prediction. If it's wrong and the ps4 sells like hotcakes, then remind me about later and I'll gladly eat that crow. To answer your question a second time, show me where and when I ever made any prediction about the ps4 sales in the west.

Wrong. Console sales have been on a downward trend for years now.

Oh I will definitely remind you.

You're still not getting it. I ASKED you a question. I didn't say you made that prediction, I asked if you did. That's what the questionmark was for.

You said: Did you base your PS4 predictions in the west on PS3 trends in the west, too?

there is what you asked. That's asking about a prediction I made, clearly not asking I I made a prediction. And now that you've asked a different question, no, I haven't made any predictions about any other region. If I did though, and based it in the performance of the ps3, I'd say the ps3 did rather well in america. And you have to consider the x1 not doing too well, so the ps4 will pick up extra buyers from the Xbox camp(like myself) and that would point to the ps4 selling quite well for the gen.

In Japan, nintendos machine is no selling, but that doesn't mean extra sales for the ps4. The wii was a companion system, so you can't combine sales to say consoles still sell well, so I don't think the ps4 will sell bad, but at about the same levels as the ps3....

indont know what the total system sales in America were before the ps360, but the 360 sold over 40 million and the ps3 sold 25(?) million, so 65+ million is hardly a decline.

btw, I like crow! Lol

Sorry lol. I wasn't pointing to a specific prediction of yours. I was making a point that you can't base PS4 sales on what PS3 did.

No problem, pezus. And your probably right about not being able to use ps3 sales against the ps4. It will be interesting to see if ps4 takes Japan by storm too though!

Adjustments have taken place. PS4 was actually on top by quite a distance

Lol, this has happened like three times this year alone. "Hah! Look at the 3DS go, beating the PS4!" (Statistical ties no longer matter). Adjustments roll in, all is quiet. I wonder if doctre81 made another celebration video on youtube that is now rendered useless.
