PS4 is a fucking beast. i dont see it reaching 60 million shipped by march like sony expected, but they had a great year never the less, and holiday sales are huge.

it will be interesting to see what happens next year. Q1 is packed with software, and next year is filled with huge games (Red Dead, Destiny 2, Battlefront). can it be up YoY?

also Marketing rights.

PS4 supposedly has Destiny 2, Red Dead 2, Battlefront 2, Mass Effect & Call of Duty.

There will be so many games in 2017.

I think its gonna be up YoY.

Wow it has Mass Effect marketing rights? Do u have a source? That would be impressive considering ME was always more associated with Xbox, AND the fact that ME is made by EA, which has been all over MS's dongle this gen.

Rofl may be right about not achieving 20M since it probably won't sell 20M in the same timeframe, but some factors should be included that could lead to a bigger stuffing on channels like releasing Slim and Pro that would probably increase some inventory levels. But at least we know we'll get propper numbers in time.

Even then, it is extremely unlikely that there are anough  PS4s in stock to reach their 60 million forecast, and if there are, then the PS4 is currently stupendously overshipped.

It already outsold the last of us on PS3, it´s only fair to compare them after the PS5 got an Uncharted 4 remake

We don't know, TLOU was at 7M+ on it's first year, and continued to pop on Amazon top 100 for the next, even while the PS4 version appeared.

TLOU PS4 version eat on the original sales potential, it wasn't like GoW3 PS4 version for example, it's a different story, it released while the original was still selling strongly and became the go to version, like a GOTY, it won't be fair at all to compare it with a possible revision of Uncharted 4 down the road to re alive the game sales instead of what happened to TLOU that was sales moving from a platform to another.

TLOU sold well over 10M on a normal time frame for a game, that's what counts, not capping its legs completely because it moved platforms a year from release.

Still I think Uncharted 4 will easily cross the 10 million mark easily, it mihgt even reach the 12 million mark

Yeah, I believe it has marketing rights to Mass Effect. Sony wanted a decent amount of games to show off the Pro, which was why the game was shown so heavily at the Pro's reveal event.

Yeah I think its 1800p checkerboarded in Mass Effect for the PS4pro (not 2160 (aka 4K)) but its much higher than the 900p of the Xbox One Slim.

Scorpio is still almost a entire year away, so it makes sense to for them to target Mass effect on the Playstation.



You know the world is in turmoil when a console like the PS4 can sell so well so quickly.

Hopefully people regain their senses soon and Switch.

Right, it was a win-win for Sony and EA, Sony to show off the Pro and EA to show off Mass Effect. 



8.7 Million People bought Uncharted 4, and people say that there isn't a mental health crisis.

Its the highest rated Console exclusive of this gen isnt it?

It ll do more than 9m its first year alone, and odd as it might sound most people enjoy the game.
