Forums - Sales - Sony Estimates 17 Million PS4s Sold In 2015

Another 10M PS4 sold until April 2015 ?

Looks to me that Sony is being safe with their predictions. It's easily going to sell more than that until there.


I think they are reffering to the fiscal year (March 2014 - March 2015), so it would be PS4 + PS3 for 1 year.

It doesn't say by 2015, it says in 2015. Sony is looking a year and half ahead. Sony knows its over hyped GDDR5 hardware will not keep the wolves (Microsoft & Nintendo) off its back.

It really doesn't. Even in Japan, the PSP has been pretty much nonexistent sales-wise as the Vita picked up.


EU is the only thing keeping it afloat (and the rest of the world, because the thing is damn cheap). Anyway, I'm glad to see Sony still manufacturing the console and I hope they keep it like that for at least a couple of years.

No they didn't

They Estimated 17m PS4 & PS3 combined.

Where did you come by that information? Having read the source and the place the souce got the story from all that was mentioned was 17ml by april 2015. Which is just a glorified way of saying they plan on selling a total of 17ml PS4s by the end of their 2014-2015 (april 1st - march 31st) fiscal year.

I don't see this being a problem in any way. I actually expect them to sell around 15-16ml consoles by the end of this year.


As i stated above this is old news from there financial report. There are many sources for this, yet this article didnt even use it as a source, there just reporting 3rd hand information. 

 

Just Google it mate.

Also achievable. But the article specifically says PS4.

I don't think they mean PS4+PS3.

The PS5 Exists. 


Oh come on. That's a lowball estimate by all means. You know many PS3s were sold in 2011 calender year? 14.3mil.

I like how the article, on the contrary, makes it sound like the estimate is a high.

Yeah, it's definitely a very conservative estimate. We've been here before and they beat that figure by 2 million.

Your title says "in" and the article says "by". Big difference there.


however, Sony financials forecasted the number for FY15. so actually, its 17 million sold in that year. the article is just wrong.

FY15 ends in March 2015.  I believe the article because that number seems odd.
