Just a heads up, your last couple of posts have been one word answers. Mods might see that as spamming and ban you if you don't start expanding a bit. Just some friendly advice.  :)



Last generation, Wii was the best selling console and the most popular. This generation it is PS4. Up until now we have seen identical sales between the two, during their first year on the market. I think it is 'okay' to use Wii's results to somehow predict this Holiday.

Here goes.

-----Wii 2007--------------------PS4 2014-----

Nov 03: 296,372-----------Nov 01: 336,109 = 13,41 %
Nov 10: 282,996-----------Nov 08: 555,726 = 96,37 %
Nov 17: 469,651-----------Nov 15: 502,084 = 06,91 %
Nov 24: 673,069-----------Nov 22:
Dec 01: 699,757-----------Nov 29:
Dec 08: 728,498-----------Dec 06:
Dec 15: 686,612-----------Dec 13:
Dec 22: 1,462,609---------Dec 20:
Dec 29: 737, 820-----------Dec 27:

3 Weeks: 1,049,019-------3 Weeks: 1,393,919 = 32,88 % 

Total: 6,037,384-----------Total: 8,022,475 (estimated)


Judging by the numbers, the PS4 could very well end 2014 with 20-21 million. 



20 million ;)

Okay. I'm usually a brief speaker. One word can mean a thousand words.

If will sell less than 18M by end of year i will eat my PS4.
Promise. ._.

Do you even have a PS4?

You must buy one and then eat it!



My 8th gen collection

18 M is way too low.

I will go for 19.5/20M.

20.7 shipped.



If we assume VG Chartz is accurate (IMO PS4 is still under tracked), then PS4's at 14.4M by the 15th of November, it's doing 500K a week and Black Friday could easily see at least 800k, if not a million, so in that case we're looking at 15.7-15.9M by the end of this month.
18M is easy and probably far lower than anyone should expect at this point.

Personally I think PS4 should have sold over 14M by the end of last month. I think Destiny, the White model and Driveclub weeks are each still under tracked by 100k-200k each week respectively, even going back to when Sony announced they'd sold over 10M (between the 9th and 16th of August) VG still has PS4 at 9.9M, when it should probably be over 10M potentially anywhere below 10.5M.
I think COD week should be seeing even better sales than Destiny, possibly another 300K on top of what it's marked down as on here. I'm personally setting my numbers for the 15th of November as being 15.5M PS4's sold, with 600K-700K for last week (22nd Nov) and a further 1.1M for Black Friday week.
I put PS4 as selling 17.2M by the end of this month.

Personally I think it will go on to sell another 3M units next month at least, if not closer to 4M, so IMO at a minimum 20M is what PS4 will sell by the end of this year, although I don't think it topping 21M is out of the question.


I think Sony can easily ship 22M by the end of this year, if they upped their average over the 15months it will have been shipping to 1.46M a month, not that hard considering they were at 1.1M a month average over the first 3 months of shipments last year.



I Hope it will be doing more!
