Forums - Sales - PS4 to lead all consoles with 51 million sold by 2016 - IDC

It is obviously by the end of 2016.

By the end of 2016 I predict that PS4 will have sold 60+ million.

I'm pretty sure they're pronounced I Don't Care or else this doesn't make sense.

It is a fine and realistic estimate from the site... people just don't like it.

Perhaps you can explain how the PS4 doesn't win in the US but ends up with 51m anyway?

This seems contradictory to me.

 

 

It's not.

Remove 300k sales from PS4 right now and it will winning WW by a 2.7m and Xbone winning in US.

I don't see contradiction here.

51m WW can mean 18m US for PS4 and 20m US and 30m WW for Xbone.

But I believe PS4 will win in US too.



hahah no

itll be the lead console yes but it wont reach 51 mill by 2016 probably wont even be that close to it

Why 51m is so hard to get close if there are close 3 years to go yet (well 2 years and 8 months).

If PS4 do 13m a year then you will have close to 45m already.



I think it has a fair shot at 50 by the end of 2016. But even in the best case I don't think it'd be much higher.
I'm still thinking we'll see hardware market shrinkage over last gen overall, especially with pricier consoles, so that'd be part of it.



Easy, good prediction based on current market not pre launch speculation.

What don't most of you get ? the mass market sees it for what it is. PS4 already won, will get majority of the overall console sales. As before its a mere question of can sony produce enough in that time frame.

well i was thinking that since the 360 and ps3 are only at 80mil having a system get to under a 30 mill diff in just 3 years just doesnt seem likly
