Forums - Sales - Prediction: PS4 To Sell 10M WW From July-Jan? - Update Final 9.8M Sold... Who's Your Daddy

10 252 38.83%
 
8M 124 19.11%
 
7M 99 15.25%
 
6M 83 12.79%
 
<6M 90 13.87%
 
Total:648

tbone said Srry but thats kinda...... Too much. I would of said 14mil-15mil this year was achievable but it sold less than 5mil, its not going to sell 10mil with nothing in 2 months and no huge Exclusives. 2015 is going to be bigger than 2014.

mZuzek said Sounds pretty impossible to me. I'd say it sells 8m at best... which would already be very impressive

8 Would be pretty good. Really hard to predict the Destiny and other 3rd party games boost.

vivster said Also I doubt Sony would be able to deliver that. The Destiny boost will be quite limited by the amount of available bundes.

ericfabian said hmm.... No

think-man said I'm thinking around 8 million

Dr.Henry_Killinger said 6.5 months. Assuming holidays double sales. So that is effectively 9.5 months. It would need to about a million a month, with 2 million in OCT, NOV, and DEC. Even if it has good holidays its unlikely that the PS4 sales will spike like that. 6mil to 8mil is a more reasonable estimate.

zero999 said too high. 6 would already be an achievement.

archbrix said So, an 18m+ install base by the end of the year? Don't think so.

Intrinsic said Nope... not gonna happen. I have it pegged at selling no more than 7M for the rest of the year

KLXVER said Im guessing around 6 million...

BuckStud said 10,000,000...I think some of you are living in a fantasy land

RepedeGoesWoof said I would say between 6-7...10 is stretching it bit based on the current line-up

novasonic said 4-5 million between now and Jan 1st 2015 max.

TheBlackNaruto said I would say more than 7mil close to if not right at 8mil myself.

MoHasanie said 10 is too high. Maybe 7 million.

Dark Chaos said 6million and i'm being generous

hudsoniscool said With what games?

CDiablo said Im calling 6, even though it is the fastest selling console it is also more front loaded at the $400 price point.

PwerlvlAmy said lolno

nanarchy said 6 million would be a good achievement, 7 million great. 10 million they would have to somehow magically create new manufacturing capacity to even create them to sell, while nothing is impossible 10 million is certainly knocking on impossible's door.





update 9.8M sold ;)

running out of places to put all these feathers in my hat

Amazing prediction,it came REALLY close to the 10M.

Also gotta love those responses. 





The early posts in this thread are great...



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.

That was a good prediction. It's fun seeing how wrong people can be but also pleasant to see some people getting it right



Around the Network

But did it sell ten million?



Ltd predictions by the time 9th Gen comes out

Ps4:110million

Xbox one :75 million( was 65) 

Wii u: 20 milliion

Did I pass comment in this thread back when? How did I do?

LOVE the responses in here. So many: "there's no way(s)" and what not! This is why people need to curb some of their predictions, especially regarding anything PlayStation related. It's like many of them didn't learn their lesson with the PS3.

So, an 18m+ install base by the end of the year? Don't think so.

Hmm you know with the kings of casual games (GTA5 and COD:AW) launching this fall, combined with the PS4 being the it console, it just might pull of 10 mil.
4-5 million between now and Jan 1st 2015 max.

Dark Chaos on 04 July 2014

6million and i'm being generous
lolno

guys it might fall short of 10M like in the 9-10M range but i feel that 9M wouldnt be as a dramatic title for the OP and really wanted the double digits 

but anything less than 9M i feel is low balling it...

Why would you skip 9 million as a poll choice? I would've picked that instead of 10 million.
To sell another 10 million units by the end of the year it would have to average 380k per week. Are you crazy?
...


I figured people posting in Vgchartz would have a higher understanding of sales.

...

Who are the anti-Sony posters??  Isn't 4.5-6 more likely than 10? Maybe they are just using facts than wishfull thinking.

9,5M

OK OK I yield. Crow humbly eaten. Was an awesome prediction. At the time when saying 7ml I honestly thought I would be spot on. But after its destiny numbers I learnt t one major lesson. The PS4 seems to just keep shaming people. Myself included and I'm supposed to be a really big fan!!!!
