I can pretty much guarantee you that they won't be announcing anything on monday, because their CES keynote or whatever it is (which was where they gave the number last year) isn't until tuesday.

That's not where they gave it, that's where Kaz used them. The numbers were given by SCEJ first, via official press release (other regions followed with translations later). But yes, it is possible that they intend the day to coincide and wait until CES.

Oh okay, my mistake then.

Near 40, I'm expecting the console to hit that mark this month

So you expect Sony to beat their forecast for March 2016 three months early?

And for Sony to break all records ever set by the Wii and PS2? 

Suggesting an increase of 10 million unit sales from November 23rd to through to January 3rd is something that is very unlikely, if not downright impossible to happen. Especially considering as the PS4 sold through 4.1 million during this same period last year and 10 million would represent an almost 150% increase YOY. In fact the PS2's record is 8.5 million for the holiday season and this number includes the first 22 days of November as well. Nintendo never provided sell through figures for the Wii but it's likely they never reached 10 million WW during that period during 2008.

38.5 million WW. I'm confident the worldwide Price cut and Star Wars mania combined with holiday shopping in November, Black Friday sales promos and Christmas propelled sales of PS4 to record growth around the world.

 

I'm basing this off the fact Sony sold over 1.5 in America alone last month, and with the extended price of $299 till the 19th, mixed with Star Wars bundles flying off shelves from the hype of the movie, another similar figure for December would put ps4 at 3 million sold just from America this holiday, thereby putting their total up to 33.2 million, up from the 30.2 they announced days before Black Friday on November 22. 

 

I believe another 5 million from the rest of the world in late November and all of December combined is doable considering they also received a price cut, not to mention various parts of the world outside of North America have also started getting in on Black Friday as well so who knows how high sells got in those territories.

36.5 with 1.88 from US December 2m+ Europe and around 2m from all others.

I expect 35-36 million LTD. Lots of $$$ indeed! :D



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

35.9m Confirmed, pretty close to a few of our guesses.
