I think it will sale 92 million and I expect the PlayStation 5 to be released in November 2019. 

Even if that happends, the PS4 will be over 100m by November 2019.  Also the PS4 would still sell a few years more, after the PS5.

 

March 2018 : 78-80m. (theyre forecasting 18m, I think it might do upwards of 20, thus hitting 80m shipped).

March 2019 : 96-98m (theyre probably going to do atleast 16m shipped)  (before the holidays of 2019, it ll be over 100m)

March 2020 : 109-111m (they should do atleast 13m shipped this year) (this year near the end the PS5 launches, which effects sales)

March 2021 : 117-119m.   (With PS5 out, I doubt it does more than 5-6m this year)

March 2022 : 123-125m.  + whatever else small amounts it sells in the comeing years.

 

A optimist could claim it looks like PS4 could go over 130m if things go well for it.

You have to be the oppersite, a seriously hard-arsed pessimist to expect less than 100m sales for PS4 atm.

I personally dont think PS5 will release before 2020.

2019 release is too early for PS5.

I'm revising my sales prediction, I now think it will sell 122 million life time. My original prediction was based on a 6 year time span and I think I severely underestimated the length of it's legs.  



Sales prediction, PS4: 122 Million, Xbox one: 50 million, Switch: 105 million.

PS4 is doing really good. Did they release the software numbers?

Very nice. Actually I can't wait for the price drop of PS4 Slim and Pro. I mean a PS4 Slim is still at 299$.

Yep, something between 100 and 130M are a good expectation and 122M seems fairly accurate.

I think you would need to interpret the graph for that.

Oh lol I missed that part of the OP. 348 million is really good for this point In the PS4s life. It will probably be over 400 million by next year which is really impressive.

Almost no one anymore expects PS4 to outsell PS2 in HW, but how far are they going to be on SW? That is an interesting battle. Market for SW seem to have increased a lot (higher tie ratios) in gen 7 and 8. And considering the smaller digital titles PS4 will surely sell over 1.5B SW, but retail (phy+dig) is an incognita.

This applies to all of Sony, not just Playstation. Sony is exhibiting a lot of growth from China followed by Asia-Pacific.

Wow way to go Sony! It is still crazy though....up YOY in sales but down YOY in shipments lol. So they shipped less but sold more that is funny. But it is still odd so if sales are up and the 2nd half of the year is bigger than the first then wouldn't they have to up the shipments? I still think they are low balling shipments but time will tell.

Personally I think this will be the peak year in sales. But shipments is something totally different.



The absence of evidence is NOT the evidence of absence...

it's funny, I was searching to see how much profit Sony made this quarter ($1.4b) and the Bloomberg article mentioned vgchartz data for Uncharted 4.

Anyway, are Sony out of the woods yet overall?

as I said previously in this thread, this is the highest operating income Sony ever made in a FY Q1 (= yes, it's looking good for Sony)
