Forums - Sales Discussion - The PS4 shipped less than 117.1M by June 30th 2023

The system is selling less than 10k weekly now and Sony hasn't give numbers for the PS4 in it's last quorter report.

The PS4 obviously hasn't reached 117.1M shipped and this is probably the end of the road for it. Previous poll from january 2022 (116.8M shipped):

Poll from 2021 (115.1M shipped) :

In the last thread, I thought the PS4 was a lock for 120 million units.

Now? Not so much.

From 2014 to when it ceased production - The PS3 sold just a tad over 6 million units.

If the PS4 does the same thing, that would put it at just under 121 million units lifetime. But so far, it's sales have consistently been tracking lower than the PS3 from late 2013 into the first weeks of 2014. Right now, it's already down by close to 200k units in comparison.

And with the PS5 facing a strong surplus of shortages, Sony has all its attention squared towards trying to catch up with demand. It's all eyes, all hands on deck for the PS5. As a result, the PS4's legs are being cut off from underneath it and its decline is being accelerated. To the put where not only do I question its ability to reach 120 million units, I'm not even sure if it'll be able to pass the Game Boy at this rate, which currently sits at 118,69 million units. The PS4 is just a little less than 4 million away from that, which doesn't seem like much, but given the rate at which sales have dropped already, it's looking like it's going to limp towards that mark instead of blowing right past it like we originally thought. IF it even reaches that mark.



Same as before.

over 120M for sure, but no way it's gonna pass 125M.



about 120m~130m maybe

The PS3 did around 6 million 2014 onwards so if the PS4 can get close to that it'll get to 120M but with how it's declining more rapidly than the PS3 did I expect it to do a decent bit less than 6M from now until the end so I'll pick 118-120 and specifically 119M.



4.7m in three quarters, that's very very low. I'll be the optimist still and say it'll limp past 120m.



Signature goes here!

SONY has already halted all but the SLIM and if not already I think SONY may soon halt the SLIM as well. If PS4 production at all takes the space of any PS5 production, with BC, there is no reason other than price for PS4 production. There might be 3-4 million PS4s floating around in stock out there, so ~118m might still work.

For a long time I thought they were going to drop the price below $300. I have heard all of the reasons why they didn't (profitability, etc...), but to me it doesn't make sense. For the past couple of years they would have been more profitable if they did drop the price to $250 or $200. I don't know why they aren't dropping the price, but I've given up any notion that they are actually going to do it.

118-120m

Sony seems ready to move on from manufacturing and shipping PS4s, or at least almost ready to.

I say right around 120 million even, so I voted 118-120 million. It should barely pass the Game Boy/Game Boy Color.
