EA released a PS2 version of Fifa 14, so don't expect cross gen titles to completely disappear next year. Of course PS2 is a freak of nature, moreso than Wii, so we can probably expect almost no cross gen releases in 2016, aside from Fifa probably.


I refuse to believe that something as godly as the PS2 can be a freak of mere nature. It's supernatural at least.

Most freaks of nature are supernatural beasts.

Im shure PS4 will hit the 20mil mark one day, probably in the next 3 months and it will stall there. as for XB1 it will rpobably come to 12 and stall for a long time... thats what i think so far...

How the heck woud any of them stall?



To think that some thought 16-17M by years end was impossible. Now it will likely pass that by ~2M+.

You think early December will have similar sales as W/E 15 Nov? With ACU having a disappointing start across all platforms I expect the Holiday lift to push early december sales well beyond mid Nov. If you look at the last few years the first 2 weeks of Dec have typically had sales of 1.5-2:1 over the 2nd week of November. I don't expect PS4 to sell 1 million per week in the first 2 weeks of Dec, but I do expect it to sell notably more than 500K. Actually selling 500K this week strongly indicates PS4 will have at least one week over 1 million in December, possibly 2. PS3 never has a >500K week in any November aside from BF week. Its best non-BF November week was in 2009 at 432K.

4M for December is a stretch no doubt, but I think >3.5M is quite likely. It is a shame LPB3 is looking like a bit of a flop for the family audience. That's 2 holidays runnning where the kid friendly game on PS4 has fallen flat. Sony needs to sort its shit out in that department for 2015, Tearaway Unfolded might be be that game. On the plus side is that Xb one has nothing to offer in that department. So either Wii U will benefit or a lot of the family-friendly dollar will go elsewhere (mobile) this holidays.

I am not sure of just how well sales carries over into the first 2 weeks of december when compared to mid november sales.But my stimates were based on me being conservative. We sem to be in agreement that the PS4 could sell 3.4M-3.5M in december alone. For that to happen sales will have to look like I predicted +/- 100k respectively. If the PS4 has 2 1M weeks in december then it will definately go over 4M sold for that month as I don't expect it to do anything less than 500k in any week in December.

If that happens then we are looking at potentially over 20M sales by the end of 2014. Thats just crazy. Not impossible, but even I can't be that optimistic. 

By the end of November the PS4 should comfortably be around 16M. Add a potential 4M plus change to that from december and we have 20M+ consoles sold. I can't even type that without flinching.



Really great sales and I'm glad the numbers finally got adjusted.



Everybody will be shitting their pants for BF week sales this year and we will see ps4 march for 20M and x1 toucinho 12M even tough most think it is impossible.

You think PS4 will only reach 20M in march? It should be around 22-25M



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

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

March as in marching torwards, not the month.... I'm talking about years end.
