I predicted 130 million a few years ago, I'm sure it will get there with price drops, lack of ps5 hardware, also replacements for broken consoles. |
There won't be any further price drops. They moved on to the PS5. |
I mean, that's probably true.
Nintendo did do this before though with the NES and Super NES. They gave those consoles their final price cuts after their successor released. However, I don't see Sony following suit.
Instead of selling the PS4 for really cheap, I think they're trying to cut their losses. I think as of August 2021, they are now just barely breaking even by a few dollars for the standard PS5. I think the digital only version is still being sold at a loss.
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)
