Even with a beastly lead, it is still better to be....cautious.
Else if a price drop gets announced, would that mean 20mil+ ?
Cautious? You basically just asked if PS4's second holiday will do worse than their Q2.

I found the numbers...
Wii shipped 13.17m at Sep 2007.
PS4 shipped 13.5m at Sep 2014
PS4 is yet the fastest selling console of the history.
So like 700,000 PS Vitas + PSTV's + PSP's shipped WW in Q2. To where exactly?
Wasn't the Wii supply constrained
13.5m with the fall of Japan industry. Just wow.
Mobile looks like a huge anchor.
700K Vitas shipped. Is that decent?
Wait, was Wii U 610K?
Hm....what?
Wii U was apparently up in Europe by a lot. Maybe Vita is still outselling it there HW even though it's selling a lot less SW. We know Japan. We know NPD.
dat rest of world?
fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
If they can hit 20 million by the end of the year that would be incredible. Wii-like pace.
I think they may end up doing better next year in Japan... maybe.. 2015 is going to be absolutely huge.
Mobile looks like a huge anchor.
actually, I bet it's the rest of the world outside of US/Japan/Europe
Hence all that Remote play being brought to the devices now to keep the beat going....Yep and mobile is dragging their results down for quite some time
PS4 too... no?Wasn't the Wii supply constrained

Man, those numbers despite an anemic Japan console base; the rest of world just moves on along like it does't matter.
Early 2015 is incredibly important for the PS4 in Japan. While many games are on the PS4, it's obvious that Sony is going to push all of those games as PS4 first. But that period is absolutely loaded for them
RE:Revelations and the current gen REmake will also be released in that period.
If I remember correctly, the Wii hit 20 Million a year after it released.
Wasn't the Wii supply constrained
20m by end of 2014 seems impossible.
I'd guess 15-16m.

Didn't realize it was that loaded for Japan. Makes me a little more hopeful.
So since it's 13.5 million shipped 4 weeks ago, I think it's safe to assume that PS4 is above 13 million sold now.
no....? Wasn't it like heavily supply constrained first year and then when they ramped up production they still couldn't manage to sate the hungry hoard?
so the gaming division growed to Sony's biggest pillar.
November and December tend to be huge months for console sells. I'm talking a million each in the US alone for consoles that are selling well. So that alone would get them to 15m, and that would be without taking Europe and Japan into account.
Can't really use launch time sales to predict the holiday sales - though it should match them or come close unless MS' price cut and bundles sway consumers this holiday.Really? The PS4 did almost 2 million in the US alone in just Nov+Dec. You think the PS4 is just going to suddenly tank?
For anyone wondering about the large mobile loss, it's due to a massive write down on the value of their mobile unit.
