So we finally have the answer to the question: Will Sony sell 80M PS4 systems by the beginning of E3.

And the answer is Yes... And no cause 79.9M is not 80M, unless there is an adjustment later on in which case it could be yes again?

Also I wonder if the Fortnite backlash will impact sales? We'll know when the charts are updated a couple more times.

It most likely cleared 80 million by the 12th 10pm est. Thats 3 full days from the 9th. Considering the console is selling 33k per day (225/wk) in June. So 79.9 million + 3 days would make it 80 million.

I'm still waiting for that big turning point I kept seeing posted. Has it been relegated until the end of the year again?

Can you blame it tho? We all know Nintendo sales grow the most during the holidays, and this year the heavy hitters are all releasing in that period, unlike 2017. If sales don’t explode by the end of the year, then we can be sure this is it. But we can’t expect sales to be better than they are now (which are pretty good) when the biggest release for months is Mario Tennis...



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

Pretty much what I expected. Switch only barely above XB1 in North America. It will probably drop below XB1 sales before the end of the year. The Switch train is going to keep running out of steam until Pokemon comes out.



I can swear I was having a discussion with someone where I was saying the PS4 will hit 80M before or around E3 2018.

Now all that remains is for it to sell about 13M consoles in a little over 6 months to surpass 2017.

There are quite a few big hitters for the PS4 around the end of the year too you know? 

Spiderman and RDR2. 

And there is always that possibility we will see the PS4 for as little as $199 at some point in the fall also.

Did Microsoft announce $199 for the rest of the year or something??

PS4 still doing great numbers! If only the Fortnite backlash wasn’t effecting sales.

Did someone claim the Fortnite situation would have said effect?
