Forums - Sales - Is it possible for PS4 to cross 17 million mark by 2014

Aerys said:

Being the console of choice changes a lot too, the hardware sales will be less split than in previous generation since people will mostly take a PS4 to play to the big games.


yes thats right. but why should that effect the holiday % bump only?

that would affect the baseline (sales in q1-q3) already

 

i will keep an eye on this. i still dont see a big % increase for the ps4. maybe it will go from 47% to 49%

 

edit: btw

historically the ps nov --> dec  bump was always bigger than the xbox one

lil over 100% for ps and just 80% for xbox

but the oct ---> nov bump for xbox was mostly 150-200% whlile ps only had 100%*

 

*us numbers from last gen

they just sell differently ;)

Simple, because PS4 dominates more and more with every big release and christmas is the big choice period, it is now that being the most popular will really count , also there wasnt many big system sellers this year, so the " 50% of the rest of the year" is not an exact science when you got  so few system sellers outside holidays



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

Easily explained by 360 price and bundle deals, 360 appealed to the lower income people far more with being nealry half price especialy with big bundle deals.  X1 does not have the massive price advantage that logically helped 360 in its month to holiday month sales growth by %.  



Homies, PS4 has sold 35% more than XB1 & Wii U combined for the year.

How much do you think the XB1 & Wii U will sell combined in the holidays?

Can't see it being under 17m, even with VGC undertracking, now

Yeah. 17 million is a must. When I made this thread PS4 was 9.3 million and many people didnt thought its possible.

I was one of them. Honestly thought that at a very stretch maybe PS4 could break 17 million, but most likely wouldn't :D Happy to be wrong on this one. Should be about 13 million by end of this month. Very little to no chance that it will be less than 4 million for November and December.

It boggles the mind.



Yes it is and I wish them the best and hope they do and expect that they will.
