Doesn't look good...


Link? Gaf is a very large place.

 

His first comment makes no sense and his second comment is about pre release lines?

This comment really confuses me. :D


Not really telling. I don't expect it to sell 500K but I'm sure it's going to sell more than 200K which isn't bad for a console without japanese centric games.

May I advise some pretty much across-the-board revision to predictions:

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=101712602&postcount=496

"Shipment of PS4 will be 350k at most"

But which shipment?  After the preorders opened in Japan, the initial stock sold out in minutes, then more recently they had another replenishing that sold out in a few hours.   So, is he saying their initial supply and the restocking combined, for a hometown launch, is no greater than 350K units?  That's kinda low, no?


On top of that, if there really is only 350K in Japan for launch than where are the rest of the PS4s? You still can't find them in most places and the estimates were that Sony was making over a million a month.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

349945 units FW.

Yeah...that's a ton of consoles for only 350K in Japan AND Sony saying it won't be readily available until April.

500K in the first week.



800k is my prediction.

If they only sell 350k in Japan I find 1.4m a month extremely hard to believe, in fact anything over 1m a month would be hard to believe.



Add me the safe and boring group of 400-500k predictors
