I don't believe that's how it works. Sony will have to sell through the same numbers that they ship. The buffer is already there, it will not always be 10% of the install base.Ship 20 mil more .
Just need to sell 18-19 mil.
Those numbers are insane. But at this rate it's not far fetchedProbably something like 55 million by years end. 60 million by next March and like 70-75 million by next fall. Crazy. They'll make sure they hit those margins.
This pretty much rules out the chance of NEO being announced at E3, it would be stupid to announce a new console and kill the momentum they have
It wouldn't kill their momentum. This never happens.
They shipped that amount in March

Didnt take long to sell it.
Barring GT Sport, that line-up right there makes my nipples hard.
More like adding a first class section to a plane. Everyone still gets to the same place, but for a little extra, you can get there in style.
What would make your nipples deflate?
lol.. check out the gif gamespot used to promote their article on Twitter..
Killzone 4, Resistance 4
Can we compare it with other consoles? how long it took them to reach this mark?
I think it's different for different territories. I know Japan is completely different than it was when Ps2 was dominating.Can we compare it with other consoles? how long it took them to reach this mark?
Does anyone know if other territories have replaced Japan former bigger console presence yet? I remember speculation that emerging markets like Middle eastern countries, India, and Brazil might make up for Japan's decline. Has that proven true yet?

Also I think a $299 bundle with a game deal should be the standard price for PS4 and a $250 model should be available as well once PS4k hits.
That looks attractive to me anyone, i would definitely buy another console and gift it more at that price
You don't like sequels I assume?God of War 4, Knack 2, Killzone 4, Resistance 4, anything MOBA, anything MMO, anything military shooter... you get the idea.

http://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-360-sales-top-40-million/1100-6259832/However, the Xbox 360's first-quarter sales were enough to push the platform past 40 million consoles sold worldwide.
Maybe I'm crazy, but where does it confirm 2016 for those titles?Gravity Rush 2 and The Last Guardian reconfirmed for 2016, best news of the PR.
Not even close, it's still the second/third largest market for PS4.
Oh ok...nice yeah I see it doing 20-30K in weekly sometimes, Uncharted may hit a quarter million there too possibly.PS4 has been selling 100k consoles minimum a month in Japan for a while now, i think its death has been overstated
Yeah, I see iterative consoles killing the console market in Japan.Oh ok...nice yeah I see it doing 20-30K in weekly sometimes, Uncharted may hit a quarter million there too possibly.
I think that rate would put it at about PS3 levels right? And that's before Japan's big guns. Interesting where Japan will end up in year 5 and 6 of PS4. I mean gamers are still playing PSP over there lol...I'm not sure they will be too keen on a Ps4k
You don't like sequels I assume?
That's not fair to Resistance though, we haven't seen that title in years, it wouldn't feel like a "another sequel" at all at this point. I think Resistance is a missed opportunity for Sony/Insomniac honestly. It could have went more horror and capitalized on the walking dead/zombie craze in previous years.
FINAL FANTASY XV (SQUARE ENIX CO., LTD), Nioh (KOEI TECMO GAMES CO., LTD.), Ryu ga Gotoku 6 (SEGA Games Co., Ltd.), Gravity Rush 2, and The Last Guardian (SIE WWS).
Wtf. What is that40 million, Playstation 4, Crash Bandicoot 4
Coincidence? I think not.
We can only speculate but 20 Mil is what people estimate it's at. 11.9M in North America. Over 2 in UK. So 6 Mil rest of the world? Maybe...Is the Xbox One even at 20?
Maybe it is in all of those countries because its so successful.This is one of big reasons PS4 is so successful. Good job Sony.
It hit 70M around the same time PS2/PSOne were released (March 2000) - no idea where it was during announcement.Zombie James said:Funny enough, wasn't the PSX at that 60-70M point when the PS2 was announced? My memory is hazy.
Yeah it hasn't been much of a console war. Xbone is no threat.Sony is completely dominating this gen.
Xbox 360 reached 40 ML in 2010 ( 31 March but this a shipped number).
