Forums - Sony Discussion - Japanese analyst: PS5 could sell 200-300m in 5 to 6 years

It was obviously a joke neither the Switch nor the PS5 will be able to do 300M, I think that the 2 consoles can only do 140M grand max.
Already the Switch has a big advantage over the PS5 since it dominates Asia. Not everyone can afford a Switch or a PS5

Oh man, I do love myself some good quality crack I absolutely love these predictions before a generation starts, especially when somebody puts their reputation on the line.



Vote the Mayor for Mayor!

If it was the only system available, sure.



I'm sure the Nintendo Switch will sell more than the PS5 anyways

Only the Nintendo Switch can do this 

It might even outsell the Wii U's 240 million.

This is what happen when the ideas of Quality and Joy-Con are forever united in the mind of the people. Innovation. Blue Ocean.

His statement is actually pretty vague... Is he talking about 5-6 years on Mars, Jupiter...? Because, if it's Jupiter years, then I'd say PS5 can easily surpass 300m over that period of time, if it gets continued support and no new consoles are released in the meantime (also, if the industry has not stagnated and collapsed due to the lack of new consoles in such amount of time). But if he's talking about Mars years, then I think it's a bit of a stretch. So, yeah, I need a little more clarification before I can give a better opinion.



I'm mostly a lurker now.

eeeeeeeeeeeeer no.

He's in for a shock.

This guy sounds like a colossal PS fanboy honestly, kind of sad that he is somehow employed as a gaming market analyst when he has a prediction that is way worse than any prediction that Pachter has ever made, and we all know how big of a joke Pachter is.

The eSports market has mainly moved to PC now, with the main exception being fighting games, and there certainly isn't enough of a fighting game market to move hundreds of millions of additional consoles. The chances of taking eSports gamers back from PC are slim imo.

Well Xbox leadership expected X1 TV TV TV to sell 1 Billion. So this guy seems reasonable in comparison.

He should be fired when year 1 PS5 sales aren’t to his projections
