If the PS4 hits 10 million in Japan that would be absolutely incredible...

With Dragon Quest X/XI/Heroes + Final Fantasy XV and FFVII Remake, I'm not worried about PS4's futur in Japan.
I'm worried about the future of dedicated video game devices/hardware in Japan.

PS3 only managed 10 million, while I'm hopeful that the console market in Japan will make a recovery and I do think the PS4 will do better than what a lot of people think, it's not likely it will pass the PS3.
In UK they are releasing XBOX ONE with 220V power supply. But they are too expensive compared to USA.
IF Microsoft can just release their power supply worldwide dual voltage supported we don't have this problem. I'm saying if Sony can release a Dual voltage power supply inside their PS4 , im sure Microsoft can make their power brick easily dual voltage. IF they did that, gamers who living in Countries that Microsoft not supporting can import one without having to worry about voltage.
Yep I agree. XOne has a much better lineup of games for this holiday, but Sony has the biggest third party games (SW,COD,AC,Destiny) and we saw how B:AK sold extremely well (it's 8th right now even tho it has been released long time ago) so if Sony bundled all of these games it's going to be a very tight race I think.

Yeah, me too. But those games give me hope that this won't happen.

Morpheus + Summer Lesson etc. = WIN!!
It'll only be tight in the US. Sony will clearly be the best selling console on a global scale during the holiday season.

Just say "I personally like Xbox exclusives more", don't turn this into a list wars thread, PS4 having more exclusives this year is an undeniable fact (& I'm talking retail not indies). Whether your taste matches with those games or not is irrelevant, this is a sales thread, the majority here don't like Call of Duty but nobody would say the game doesn't count when discussing the best selling games of the year just because the game doesn't match their taste.

Deserved success IMO
Selling well doesn't mean they can't do a price drop, and IIRC didn't Sony said that with how PS4 is designed, it's easier to drop price when they want it. And also PS2 got price drop even though it was destroying competition.
Let's try to analyse the shipment v.s. the numbers we have
Apr-June WW shipment - 3,000,000
IIRC, so far PS4 saw around 34% of its sales coming from US, correct? In that case
Apr-June WW sold-through - 2,035,294
US - 692,000 (NPD)
Japan - 175,964 (Media Create)
Europe/ROTW - 1,167,330 (estimate based on US numbers + current US share of overall PS4 sales)
In that case, there would be almost 965,000 units on the shelves.

Doesn't Apple use their sensors for iPhones? If so they're really gonna see a spike if Apple hasn't already bought the sensors. Rumor is they're ordering 85+ million units for the first quarter of availability. That's a lot of dough into Sony's pockets, too, even if it means their own phone gets crushed (unfortunately. I like Sony's hardware, they just don't sell phones well for some reason.)
I'd rather they put that money into PS1 & PS2 emulators.
PSN & the OS work fine for me, but I want those classics on PS4.

Struggling to grow <> not turning a profit. They had a ton of profitable films last year:
The Equalizer - $190m ($55)
Spiderman - $720m ($255)
22 Jump Street - $330m ($65m)
Fury - $210m ($68m)
Annie - $133m ($65)
Chappie - $100m ($50m)
Mall Cop - $100m ($30m)
Sex Tape - $125m ($40)
They have Spectre, Resident Evil and Hotel Transylvania 2 this year which previous entries where very profitable.
I agree in the sense that they need to secure some new long term franchise heavy hitters. But I suppose that's where Tom Rothman comes in.

Ain't no console war. It's not even a fight.
It's already at 1.63M and l said near 2.5M, it doesn't need another million.
Someone's getting a bit overexcited.
Who is? Gamesradar? That looks like a plain-spoken and informative tweet to me.

lol at Hashimoto just standing there.
People have bad taste.
Just look at any Media Create or NPD thread. Gamers have bad taste too.
Don't compare sell in and sell through bro. Especially when you don't have an actual worldwide sell through figure to use.
PS4 is beating PS2 LTD wise, but it isn't "on track" to beat end of life PS2 sales. In fact, it's looking they will cross streams next year.
Is that the Kevin James movie?
My God, do people in America have taste at all?
I'm half joking here
Thats what I'm mean, when I talk about the OS team. But also friend notifications and app support (twitch etc).

I hope all your predictions of a big drop for PS4 are wrong! I know you do too so fingers crossed we can enjoy the continued success of PS4 for a long time.
Not the same thing at all. While Call of Duty is old & tiring, the games are still full of content & the gameplay mechanics are solid, it's just that the franchise is getting old.
Mall Cop is a legitimately atrocious movie.
But the PS4 is still selling at $200 more than the PS2 was at this point in it's lifecycle. I have a feeling Sony will only go with a $50 price drop for the PS4, but if they did do a $100 drop the way they did with the PS2, I could see it holding close to the PS2's numbers.

Sorry, the numbers are all a lie. There is a huge warehouse in New Zealand filled with unsold PS4's
May 2002 so that's about a year and half into PS2's lifecycle.
Basically at this point since the PS4 launched
Shipped in is for financial reports.
Sold through to customers is usually done at press events so a company can make noise about how many people own their product.

Your name is amazing
On topic, they will hit 30 million with ease. Glad they are doing well, they hade scared a couple years ago. Couldn't imagine gaming without Sony.
