Isn't the PS4 already past the NES?

Most likely, yes. VGChartz doesn't show it yet, though



God bless You.

My Total Sales prediction for PS4 by the end of 2021: 110m+

When PS4 will hit 100m consoles sold: Before Christmas 2019

So it need 9 mil more before the end of the year? I think that is pretty possible. VGC is only updated through the end of Feb right now so selling 9 mil more by the end of the year should be easy. Heck maybe by Oct no later than Nov.

3DS won't stop selling, you know? It will probably do another 4m this year. That said, it will happen in January, I think. 

So the PS4 sold 60.4 million as of June 11th. It is now July 21st (1 month and 11 days later) as I post this, and I'm willing to bet the PS4 has already passed the NES or close to it by this point. I also expect 20 million sales for PS4 in 2017 taking it to 73.4 million by January 1st. The 3DS probably won't even hit 70 million in 2017, so I'm thinking November or December at the latest PS4 will surpass 3DS sales.

Worst case scenario is towards the end of December assuming PS4 is flat YoY (highly doubt that), which would still be 71 million by January 1st.



By the time they stop undertracking the damn thing and probably January the 1st 2018 when Sony releases some numbers.



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar

end of year

Between the beginning of June and the end of December 2016 PS4 outsold 3DS by more than 6M, so even outselling it again by the same amount and not more, it will outsell it lifetime by the end of this year. Most likely in December, when sales are the highest, or between BF and the end of November thanks to very high USA sales, but BF is not as big in the rest of the world as it is in USA, so December is more likely.

I'm so confused. How can the PSP be right behind GBA if it has twice the sales in america and almost the same sales in japan and europe? I just realized that..

The answer is right there on the charts, staring at you :/

Sony consoles have very strong sales outside the more traditional US - Japan axis, ever since the PS1 days. They go as far as producing consoles on Latin America etc. while Nintendo often doesn't even have an official importer. Microsoft tried to fight for this market back on the X360 days with moderate success, specially on Mexico, if I'm not mistaken.
