370k - 400k NPD (Is August a 4 week month?) If so: 300k - 330k

I'm not staking anything on my guesses considering I've never been close yet!


I think august is a four week month. Does anyone know?


Longest month of all time lol 5 fridays, 5 saturdays, 5 sundays Its 4 weeks of NPD

Either way, one extra week that close to the destiny bundle does not add 70k-100k in the US.

Only game I am interested in is metro redux... but I probably not get it in August... Honestly the game I really want on PS4 is Bloodborne. I guess I will be playing dark souls DLC in august..

august is 4 week because july is 2th to 2th august
at least i think that's it

btw Destiny "hype" wouldn't increase sales, it probably lowers them a bit due to destiny bundle pre-orders. All these pre-orders being done in June-August will only show up in September

Solid, nothing spectacular though.

First, you have Minecraft twice in your text.
Also, there are a lot of good games, but I doubt they will move many new consoles. TLOU, Diablo and Metro are just "remasters", PvsZ is an old title as well, Infamous just a glorified DLC, and nobody will buy a console for those indies.
The only "real" game is Madden, but that franchise is associated more with XBox. It will sell well to X360 renegades owning PS4, but I suspect it will sell best on XBox, and also better on last gen systems.

Yup, making a thread called PS4 will sell very well in september would make more sence, but it would be unececary as we all know that already.

This thread isn't about which console will receive the biggest boost, it's about a PS4 boost in August.



 

The PS5 Exists.

I understand, I claim none of those games will give a significant boost to PS4. They will sell reasonably well to existing owners.

Even 70K?

No, is too little... will sell bad, but not one total disaster.

honestly, i predict 70K for Wii U on augost, and PS4 not have fucking possibility for sell like Wii U...

I predict:

PS4: 125-150

XOne: 100-125

WiiU: 70-90

 

3DS: 90-110

PSV: 8-10
