So I did a bit of digging back to 2014 and 2015. Here's a few posts from a few regular members

May 2014.
Tbone: minimum 4m - max 8m. This kind of prediction from his wasn't seen as unusual and was actually more generous then many posters gave it. The ps4 has now passed that 8m max and will go a good bit higher.

Eric Fabian thought it was delusional to think the ps4 would sell like the ps3. Not so delusional after all since ps4 is 600k above ps3 aligned and will easily beat it to 9m aligned.

Kupo thought the ps4 doomed to fail and the Wii U would stay ahead.
http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6337107

Nintendopie found it awkward the faith some had in the ps4.
http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6337202

The above are from 1 thread in May 2014. That summer stuck with me because the amount of posters who were not playstation fans that constantly doubted the potential of the ps4. All because of a slow start. It was 10 times worse on neogaf however then here.

I'm going to post this now while I look for more threads from that era.

Can we celebrate the last ever MC thread and PS4's achievement without being extremely toxic, gloating, and ruining our last ever historic thread?

I said 10m and that 8m was the absolutely bare minimum it could reach. It's now passed that and there's plenty of time left for it to reach 10m now. 

Well. I have my doubts.

Either way, the Switch is gonna crush that number and pass the PS4 with ease in Japan. I think we can all agree with that. We shall see what effect it will have on PS4s longevity there.

In that very same thread I said it could pass the ps3 if a mainline Monster Hunter lands on the ps4 and I thought Sony would at least be trying to get it.

So pre MH announcement I went with 9 to 10m and if it got Monster Hunter it could beat the ps3. Spot on from myself. Didn't predict everything exactly but I thought it could get 9-10m without MH and beat ps3 with it. 

"And it's in Sony's best interests.  A console with DQ11 + spin offs, FF15, KH3, FF7R, GTA 6 and a monster hunter mainline entry (shared with handheld)  + spin offs is going to do very well in Japan.  Couple with series like yakuza,  resident evil,  gran turismo,  Persona 5 etc etc and it really would have a chance at passing the ps3. 

Sony aren't dumb and their relationship with capcom has improved greatly.  I struggle to see them not getting in on the monster hunter action.  Only way of it not happening is if Nintendo pay big bucks for exclusivity"

Here's a thread from February 2015. Now the ps4's fortunes had changed at this point and the Doom of 2014 wasn't as strong but you can clearly see a big divide on this site. Mostly playstation fans still believed it could do ps3 numbers and non playstation fans didn't. Have a read through this. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=198798&page=1

Kykestrutt:
Definitely not matching the ps3.
http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=7101985
Ps4 won't get close to the ps3.
http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=7102128

Miyamotoo:
No chance ps4 will match the ps3
http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=7102043

Ryng_tolu
Predicts 5-5.5m and laughs at anyone who thinks ps4 gets to 10m.
http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=7102074

Materi
Wii U sells way more LTD
http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=7102104

Eric:
Ps4 selling 10m was not even funny.
http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=7102407

Baloofarsan
Ps4 ends under 5m
http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=7109166

Officerraichu15:
6m ps4
http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=7109727

Yours truly Kerotan:
Ps4 will sell more SW and HW LTD

Great another thread ruined by the same user as always. Instead of celebrating media create this is turned into look at me thread.

noone cares if you predicted right or wrong about what the ps4 did/was doing

I'll repeat my earlier question to try to get this thread back on track (sorry I poked the bear) :

Does anyone know when we get Famitsu and Dengeki numbers? Are they released every week? On the same day?

I think Famitsu is usually within the first few hours of media create lately and Dengeki is usually on Thursday.

So I'll still get my Wednesday numbers fix! Good!
