Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

They will even if they wont

If they use shipped numbers they're comfortably over 80 million.



Signature goes here!

And hopefully when they inevitably beat the PS3 numbers this year they clarify just how much the PS3 has sold.

Ps4 cruising to 80m



Looks like the PS4 is going to be super close to the 80M mark by E3 as was discussed previously in some thread.
I say there are at least 80% chances of the PS4 passing the 100M mark by the end of its cycle and If I must venture a guess I'd go with 110M lifetime.



Now PS4 can use the "stock issues" card, even though it doesn't need to.

Assuming a November 2020 PS5 release, the PS4 should have sold well over 100 million by the time it launches. I expect 90-95 million sold through by the beginning of 2019. Then it will sell another 15 million at least in 2019, then there's 10 months of 2020 before PS5 releases. Keep in mind the PS3 sold 8 million in 2013, expecting 10-12 million for PS4 in 2020 isn't too crazy.

We could be looking at 120 million PS4's sold by the time the PS5 releases (being optimistic), but at least 105 million (being conservative). Then don't be suprised if it sells another 15-20 million after that before it's off the market. 130 million is my lifetime estimate, but I'm not disregarding the possibility of it selling more than that.



Will Nintendo ever disclose the full sold through numbers of the Switch, or will it always be shipments?
