I know you maybe don't want to read too much into it, but how about some $199 power a few years from now with a cost-cutting slim/super-slim ps4 and a Platinum range of the kinds of games we're about to see drop in the next 6 months? It should be possible given the hardware this time around.
Less likely/tangible, the whole PSVR stuff could be good for a few million that otherwise wouldn't materialise due to the unique appeal it could offer.
Writing off 100m right now seems too soon to call, there is potential.

I don't think anyone expects PS4 to sell that much in Japan .
We are looking at a 5 million to 7 million (high end ) range for PS4 in japan by the end of the gen .
Also i would put more hope on FFXV and FF7R moving PS4 in japan than DQXI since that also on 3DS.

I think it's get mixed, most people like it as "classic Bond" in OT

Asia market growth will off-set that. But still hope Japan can bounce back.
He is free to make his own way too generous Xbox One estimates now that MS decided hardware numbers weren't "important" anymore.

My premise? Okay. At least we agree on one thing - there's nothing further to discuss.

There is always potential, bu i just can't see a $199 PS4 without a PS5 already in the Street.

They shipped 6.4 million last year so very likely.

The weapon to fight NX next year.
The problem with the 100m mark is to know how will be the sales pattern of this generation.
Sure we are all expecting a huge 2016 and a great 2017 for PS4, but then what? I doubt we are looking at the same long cycle of last gen and I don't think this is a PS2 case when the system can sell very well after the successor's launch.
I don't think Sony cares about fight NX.
What would reviews have to do with a Bond film? The franchise is essentially Teflon at this stage and due to number of entries a challenge to review anyway.
Bond films rarely make a loss (in fact I suspect they've never made a loss - lowest point was probably final Dalton film which was expensive but only performed solidly but pretty sure it made a profit) and coming of Skyfall with same team? Spectre is guaranteed to make bank.
Your seem to be reaching for potential concern with little knowledge of the Bond franchise.
I think people are referring to first party studios, MS Studios aren't as robust as Sony's and Nintendo's.
Ok, after a little consideration.
Using NPD and Media Create, The PS4 has Sold less than 1 million in US + JP.
...Well, i know The stronger PS4 market is The Europe and is selling great in other small market, but i HARDLY doubt PS4 Sold another over 3 million in The rest if world... This mean Sony has really shipped like crazy with The Price drop incoming.
Maybe i should change my 7.8m prediction for this quarter... Unless they will massive overship again.
Which seem likely all considering... I don't know.

That's why they are behind the original Wii, They need the #4thecasuals
I remember when there was a rumour floating about early this gen that MS were trying to shop for a 3rd party exclusive and their sights landed on Mass Effect before EA said nah.
Definitely looked at the install base pf PS4 and didn't want to lose a nice chunk of the player base like with Titanfall I bet (though that game was still successful for them)
I think Sony have calm expectations for PSVR. It'll be a bit expensive and the hardware is just ver 1.0 so they're playing the long game. Having this massive install base certainly helps though.
License to Kill has the worst gross of the franchise in US box office (Adjusted for ticket price inflation).
Not surprises me the 6 years gap until GoldenEye.
I actually did laugh out loud.

And people said it was crazy to think ps4 would sell more than 35 million this year. With the price cut and holiday deals, it's going to end up closer to 40 million than 35.
Wii was totally unexpected success. Unless Nintendo shock the world with another revolution, NX will do nothing against PS4 (and Xbox One).

I see atleast being a 6 year console cycle, and i dont see why the ps4 wouldnt sell after its successor launches,. How much did ps3/360 sell after nextgen consoles launched? probably a lot and there still not 99$ yet cause how expensive they for both company's when they launched. With the ps4 taking marketshare back, i can see it selling pretty good even after its succesor comes out.

So the 29.3 is sell in, not shipped? God damn, that's huge. What's the shipped then?
They are totally going to be able to announce "over 40 million" at E3.

Priced around the same as a 'game console', as they put it, I highly doubt it'll move many consoles. It could sell well to the enthusiasts, but most of them have already bought a console.
Shipped, from what I can gather.
This isn't new, PS4 has been selling like shit in the US and Japan in the "pre-season" since launch, compare shipment numbers to NPD every non-holiday quarter and you get the same results.
You're severely underestimating Europe and RotW.
Sell in is shipped.

Dat 1% in China effect...
Fun fact from ZhugeEX:
So, as far as we know, the global LTD PS4 to XBOX One ratio is now above 2:1?
Not really. Sales for 360 and PS3 after XBO and PS4 are modest, with is not a surprise because of the very long cycle. And probably both will be discontinued without hit the $99 mark.

PSVR will save Japan and it'll push PS4 into the next level!
If the launch price is right and a complete set reaches 299$ in several years it could challenge PS2 sales.

i think the market is going to change around the dedicate space to the point where a successor won't be dedicated hardware the way we're used to. of course i'm just basing this off the rise of digital sales everywhere and the decline in dedicated hardware so i might be wrong.

Next year the japanese market could take off, hopefully.

The PS4 is so going to end up selling more than the PS1. It'll eventually become the second best-selling console of all time, I'm sure of it.
That ship has sailed (but will be the best year for PS4).

Turns out the writer was looking at figures from 2009.

PS + subs were at 10.9M with 18.5M consoles sold at the start of the year. Predicting it'll reach 20M within 3 months.
Predixhunz:
37 million PS4 sold by Dec 31 2015
39-40 million by March 31 2016

It is 100% possible.
Regardless the PS4 will bring in more profit than PS1 and possibly even PS2 due to PS+ subscriptions and the strength of a digital market.
PS4 is a gigantic smashing success for Sony.

PS4 sold more than all models of Sony TVs. interesting.
Agreed. I expect PSVR to be an enthusiast machine at first with high initial sales that will tail off fairly quickly. I just hope the casuals are impressed by it, to want to invest further down the line.
PSN network sales are up 56.8% according to VG24/7
Trust them, they are veterans
