Final Fantasy XV definitely

Final Fantasy VII Remake has a really good chance and may bring people who moved on back into the fold

If SE released Dragon Quest XI, guaranteed

Resident Evil 7 and Kingdom Hearts III may be possible

That's about it, really. So, 4 or 5 games, maybe. The PS3 did not have a FFVII remake, nor did it have a mainline KH or DQ game like the PS2 did.

PS4 can easily sell 10 million console so thats half or 1/2 PS2 sales

and METAL GEAR is one of the most legendary and elite franchises and a big japanese franchise also.And most of all today marketing and hype can send a game much much higher than in the past and people just grab consoles for this.

METAL GEAR can easily make past 1 million plus the LIMITED EDITION PS4's will drive even more sales

Well, if you say "easy".....

It's fine, you never stood a chance against so many capitalized words.

I seriusly think the people overestimate what PS4 games can sell...
PS3 with 11m have just 2 million seller, and some people expect 5-10 for the PS4!?
What the...

FINAL FANTASY 15

FINAL FANTASY 7 REMAKE

YAKUZA

RESIDENT EVIL

GRAND THEFT AUTO 6

STREET FIGHTER(depends how SONY markets the game)

SHENMUE 3(depends how SONY markets the game)

CALL OF DUTY(depends how SONY markets the game)

GRAN TURISMO 7(not sure but the way PS4 is going,it easily could)

METAL GEAR SOLID PHANTOM PAIN(not sure but the way PS4 is going,it easily could)

METAL GEAR SOLID 1 REMAKE(if it happens)

DRAGON QUEST(not sure but the way PS4 is going,it easily could AND if a main series title came then surely)

HORIZON(if Japanese gamers like it as they like mech games and monster hunting games)

ONE PIECE(depening how the game is)

HOT SHOTS GOLF(depending how good the game is)

DRAGON'S DOGMA(depends how good the game is)


Ehh...  THE LAST GUARDIAN?


THE LAST GUARDIAN may have problem breaking 1 million worldwide

TEAM ICO and FUMITO UEDA games are not atall commerically viable and fun games.

I will say 7 PS4 games.




Dr.Vita talks about Playstation Vita in 2016!
Playstation Vita Media Create Sales (2014 vs 2015 vs 2016)
Playstation Vita Japan Retail Software Sales (2013 vs 2014 vs 2015 + 2015 LTD Edition)
Prediction: Nothing will outsell PSP anymore (except Playstation home consoles)

2-3 titles, I think.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Its way too early to tell to be honest.

Final Fantasy VII remake and Final Fantasy XV are the most obvious choices, Dragon Quest XI if it comes to PS4, GTAVI actually has a good chance.

I'm not so sure about KH3 or RE7, its been so long since a proper KH game on consoles that its likely the fanbase moved on and its not like KH 1 & 2 got to a million easily.

That's pretty much it, no fighting game has a chance the audience is not that large anymore, Tekken 7 and Street Fighter V might not even sell 500k, there won't be a lot of marketing in Japan, they know the audience for those games is in the west.

With the PS3 version MGSV has no change, MSG2 & 3 needed years and plenty of rereleases to get to 1m and that's when the franchise was a monster.

Don't get your hopes up for something like Horizon and COD, Shenmue has no chance either Japan was never too interested in the series to begin with.

10+ games, PS4 is an unstoppable force. Ps4 is well on track to sell 120 million consoles by 2020.
