Price cut + AAA game releases will push the PS4 to 18+ million sales for this year and its highest sales year. I would not be surprised if PS4 reaches a peak of 20 million either this year or next year.

More consumers will jump on board the PS4 train and buy more PS4s over the next 2 or 3 years before the PS5 arrives in 2019 or 2020.



I'll see what I can do.

Considering Microsoft is going to release the Xone Scorpio this year and the PS4 is still selling like hotcakes 2020 or even 2021 seems more likely for the PS5 to arrive. Why should Sony discontinue a console early that is very profitable and sells like hotcakes for the PS5 while the competition (Xbox since Nintendo is doing it's own thing) can't release their next console so early without pissing of many people. My estimate is that the PS5 releases during holiday 2020 after the PS4 is done releasing most of the major games in 2019 and it's sales are slowing down. During 2019 and 2020 the Sony devs can start developing for PS5 and give that console a kickstart into the new gen alongside the X2.

Thank you, kind sir!



Nice hold for the PS4 this week, let's see how long it can keep up those 200k+ sales



Still selling quite well. I think Sony greatly under shot PS4 sales on their FY17 Forecast. There is just too much big stuff coming this year for it to slow down. So many chances for it to jump to an even crazier level of sales.

It is going to be very interesting to see what they show at E3 this year. Last year was all about was all about Pro and PSVR, now they need to show people why they need those devices. Proving their worth will go a long way towards beating last years numbers. Also, a new PS4 form factor would be a huge help. I would like to see either an all digital version, or a Laptop/Tablet version. They need to continue to expand access to the PS4 OS, PlayStation Network, and PlayStation Store as much as possible.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

It is possible.

Sony usually has something big for Septmeber or October (2015: Metal Gear Solid 5. 2016: PS4 Slim) God of War would fall comfortably in that category. E3 can't get here soon enough though.

Destiny 2. SWBF2. Far Cry 5. GT Sport. Bundles. Likely price cut. You forgot how massive of a boost Destiny was in September 2014.

Plenty of ammo, GoW has always come out in March and I'm not expecting anything different this time.
