PS2 >> PS4.

PS4 > X360.
PS4 > Wii.

Can the PS4 outsell the PS1?

the PS1 only sold like 1 million more than the wii, should be a given if it passes the wii which it will.





currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

Gaming on: PS4 Pro, Switch, SNES Mini, Wii U, PC (i5-7400, GTX 1060)

Who of you knows how much X1 sold by Jan the 3rd ? Maybe VGC is Overtracking it ? I'm just curious. Why MS is not giving official figures ? Or maybe they released them but I missed it.

To answer the bolded question: Microsoft stopped give numbers a long time ago. Nobody knows why for 100% sure but it's probably because PS4 is far ahead.

To answer your question about XB1 sales: Microsoft recently said that Xbox One was stll outpacing Xbox 360: http://news.xbox.com/2016/01/04/greatest-games-extends-to-2016/ This puts the console above 17.7million shipped.

It's just a feeling, but maybe X1 is way below the 19.2M sold according to VGC(by week ending Dec the 26th)...MS would have made a huge PR saying :"we have almost sold 20M X1 by the end of 2015"...but this did not happen; makes me wonder how much they sold, could be not more than 18M, just a guess.

They shipped 20 million last March. 8 months later they shipped 10m more making it 30.2. Now they're just shy of 36m, so another 8 months should be at 44-45m which would be around August. So 50m by October probably won't happen by it'll be close.



2013 - 4.2M
2014 - 14.3M
2015 - 17.4M
2016 - 20M ??

Nice analysis... but it goes to shit if just before uncharted the PS4 gets another official price drop to $299..... and comes bundled with the game. oh, and a FF15 bundle too, and a horizon bundle.... 

 

I think people forget that this time last year the PS4 cost $399. Let's not forget whatever hype and sales boost VR generates. I would be very very shocked of they don't sell 9M PS4s in the next 10 months.
