Can't bet cause i spent my cash on another bet already, but i think 10M-12.5M
Too much depends on how much they can make and how much covid 19 will damage the making of them and the distribution and sales. The demand is there to sell millions, its just whether the state of the world let's it.

Sure launch window doesn't ensure lifetime sales. But if there wasn't demand from even scalped consoles they wouldn't be continuing to scalp even a month after release and we will see lack of availability probably until April. |
What your describing is a situation where there is absolutely no demand. That's not what's happening here. Again, console launches always have high demand. For an extreme example, the Wii U sold about 3 million in it's first quarter despite only selling 13 million over a 4 year lifespan. There isn't going to be a drop in demand until after about January.

Sure you can. But since rumor had 0 proof of what they were claiming don't know why you would take that as true in the first place.

And you were basically claiming that if not by scalpers PS5 wouldn't be sold out. Do you think PS5 will be anywhere near the performance of WiiU?

Although I generally agree with you about launches, using the WiiU as an example actually works against your point: It shipped 3 million in its first quarter but it only sold through about 2 million of those units during that time (EDIT: actually 2.5m if you count its first 3 months), but by the end of December it was clear to retailers that WiiU was not going to hold any kind of launch momentum and it took Nintendo months to sell through the rest of that initial shipment. Certainly nothing like the current demand for the PS5.

This are the weekly sales of the WiiU, it seems like it took 30 weeks to sell 3 million

Yeah, it was actually 2.5m for the first 3 months that @VGA referenced, but nearly 1m WiiU's still sitting on shelves at the end of launch year actually illustrates that console launches don't always have high demand.

There's a fly in the ointment somewhere, stock levels don't seem to be anywhere near what they promised. Let's see if they actually get to 10 million shipped by March.
