Do you expect less than 10 million units?
It is necessary to reduce more than 3.6 million units to be less than 10 million units this fiscal year.

However, sales in April have already exceeded last year. 

That's just a temporary boost due to FF7R and the lockdown due  to Covid-19 pushing people buying consoles to pass time at home. Next months the sales will be down again, probably even stronger since I'm sure many who bought a console due to Covid-19 did just buy it earlier than expected instead of not at all.

What I'm trying to say is that i don't think sales of more than 3.6 million will fall.

April is already selling better than last year, so we need a 28% decrease in the future.

Certainly April was affected by FF7.
So do you think the May be more than 28% lower than last year?
It is unlikely that the decrease will be 28% from last year.
Because the effects of FF7 are still there.

And there is TLOU2 in June and tsushima in July.
In that month, ps4 will sell more or at least not much less than last year.
That means 3.6 million units will fall in the nine months except April, June and July.
On average, you'll need a 40% monthly reduction.
If TLOU2 significantly increases ps4 sales, it will need more than 45%.


Do you think it's likely to happen?

Sony bungled the late stage pricing of the PS4. Cutting the price so close to the PS5 launch will send mixed messages. I guess it does not matter too much since the PS4 is experiencing supply issues during coronavirus pandemic.

Do you guys think the Switch has a chance to surpass the PS4 in sales? Switch is selling amazing rn but the PS4 is likely gonna sell around 125M when all said and done, a very difficult number to beat.

I don't think Switch will outsell PS4 because of the tail end will probably be smaller. But so far their trend would put it very near. Won't give more discussion on that because this thread isn't for it. There is a good one that is still active.

Nope. But Switch will probably outsell Wii, and possibly PS1. Nintendo is just so unorthodox and changing in their home console sales. Compare that to Sony, whose only fluke is the PS3. 

I think PS4 can reach 130 million, but 125 million in particular seems like a given. 



Lifetime Sales Predictions 

Switch: 151 million (was 73, then 96, then 113 million, then 125 million, then 144 million)

PS5: 115 million (was 105 million) Xbox Series S/X: 57 million (was 60 million, then 67 million)

PS4: 120 mil (was 100 then 130 million, then 122 million) Xbox One: 51 mil (was 50 then 55 mil)

3DS: 75.5 mil (was 73, then 77 million)

Dunno, how are Sony's other branches? Some of those were struggling a lot in the past couple years if I remember correctly.

500$ ps5+xsx launch price = ps4 will go over 130m.

You guys remember this thread?  "Predict When will Ps4 Outsell Wii" - 2017.

https://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread/229249/predict-when-will-ps4-outsell-wii/1/

Yeah, Switch and Xbox One X (a.k.a Scorpio) took a lot of sales from PS4

LOOOOL!

Those people always around when you don't want them,never around when you want to talk crow.

Like 5 years ago? Because the past couple years or more the other branches/departments were at most not making money, but Sony isn't bleeding anymore for quite sometime now.

As 2017 (or even before), Sony was already making nice profits.

Somebody in another post commented that Sony is struggling right now, but then you put on Google: “Sony is struggling” and you will find plenty of news saying that Sony is really struggling............ trying to find the percent price for the PS5.
