Maybe the boss of Namco has more information than vgchartz members.

lol how is that even possible? Sony just reported that the numbers are very correct, so.....


So he is either very well informed or very badly informed or mistranslated.


My bet's on that. This is a crazy prediction for someone in his position to make. Assuming Japan does 300k, his lowest prediction, that's 400k for the rest of the world in the 7 weeks since Sony's 5.3 million figure. That'd be about 60k a week on average. With infamous coming out and the fact it stayed around 140k a week the past month, that's just not happening. Since his numbers are so crazy in the west, he must have been misquoted for his Japan numbers too.

I expect 300-500k units will be sold possibly in the first week, and definately the second week in Japan.



Current consoles: Wii U, Gaming PC

This seems too low, unless it is expected for Sony to ship very little worldwide for the rest of the FY. Imo, Japan will open with about 350k first week. With about 700k ending March. Sold or shipped.

Gaming on: PS4 Pro, Switch, SNES Mini, Wii U, PC (i5-7400, GTX 1060)

Great and sensible prediction...



... wait, he said beginning of March, right?



When you give a range- you're never inaccurate. One of the first things I learned in Economics.

He's still going to be wrong lol.



What? 300-500k until end of march? PS4 will probably do that on day one!

My prediction is 6,5m~7m until march 31.




Better to predict less, then to over predict and look like a fool.

Infamous will give PS4 a nice boost next month.

 

My Guess 6.8 Million by March 31st

You're saying at the end of this quarter PS4 will be at 6 million LTD with 300k to 500k of those units in Japan?

 

I'm still certain the VP was mistranslated cause in the words of our fallen hero, that's cray cray.
