Forums - Sales - Will PS4 pass Wii? And how much do will it need to sell to accomplish it?

Nymeria on 24 October 2017

Yes, I think it will. I'd be surprised to see PS5 out before 2020 so should have time and legs with global audience to do it. Big question I have in terms of how quickly is when price reductions occur.

It's entirely possible. You might even go so far as to say it is likely.

Maybe 2019 ?! And 2018.. I think the games like God of War, Spiderman, Red Dead Redemption 2, Death Stranding, Kingdom Hearts 3, Ni No Kuni 2, Detroit Become Human, Shenmue 3, Yakuza 6 and other big Games will greatly increase the PS4 sales figures

Are you thinking of a 2018 bigger than 2017? That would be quite incredible.

The problem the Wii had, was its year 6,7,8,9,10 the sales of it dropped off a cliff.
Playstations lose wind in their sails too overtime, but it ll be a less steep decline.

2017: 18,5m
2018: 17m
2019: 15m
2020: 12m  (PS5 releases near end of this year)
2021: 8m
2022: 4m

= lifetime : ~128m

Aggresive prediction, good =]
