I should look into an Anal job.

[Aidah]

I mean at this point why stop at 700 million. Let's make it a cool 15 billion. 2 PS5s for every person on earth.

You know what, I'm on the analyst's side, I'm betting a whole penny on him being right.

 

[Ash Sparrow]

He must mean all the playstations combined?
or else i needed that laugh

 

[bender]

That's my gif, dude.

Someone didn't tell him people don't even buy regular home consoles in his country anymore (Nintendo not included)

 

[Aidah]

Not sure if they can even produce that many, let alone sell them.

 

[DonJuanSchlong]

Someone didn't tell him people don't even buy regular home consoles in his country anymore (Nintendo not included)

I think he's using the USD to YEN conversation, on his prediction numbers.

Isn't Playstation 4 at around 10 million in Japan? Doesn't that make it 2nd after the US on a country level for PS4?

Of course I'm not defending this meth addict though, don't get me wrong.

 

[Elysion]

Did he work for Microsoft in the past? Maybe he was the one who convinced them that the XBox One would sell 1 billion units, lol.

 

[GamerEDM]

1 billion units

 

[Deleted member 740922]

If it was written as ""PS5.... will sell 200M-300M units ....in 5-6 years,.....data suggests .....700M units long term..... is possible....." then it would make sense.

 

[Slings and Arrows]

YukiOnna Maybe you could get a nu start


as an analyst/therapist. An Analrapist


or join the blue man group if none of that works out.

Why exclude Nintendo?.
It's not a regular home console. Your statement is correct.

Ps5 will be lucky selling 10m in Japan.
The console is expensive and huge.
Cost reductions are not in sight. Maybe 4 years down the line

Even just shrinking that motherboard is going to be a massive challenge without some serious die shrink breakthroughs. Unless they go ahead and brute force that bitch in half like MS did.

 

[Rikkori]

Sure, why not a trillion?

 

[Kagey K]

Sure, why not a trillion?

I think he was under estimating, just to be safe. Don’t want to overshoot and then disappoint those that trust your opinion.

 

[mistakable]

200-700m.... 500m range?
Whoever is on the stats team there needs fired. That's an awful prediction. Shit, may as well move it back 200m and then you got all your basis covered.

I predict 0-500m consoles will sell.
Magic.

 

[Klik]

200m is a lot especially knowing Xbox will probably sell better this gen

 

[Komatsu]

Rakuten is actually a respectable rag, but according to this individual, the console market will progress somewhat like this..?

Yeah, right.

 

[ruvikx]

lmfao what the fuck ever.

It's like economies here might be tanking, people are losing their jobs, Covid 19 is buggering up the west in multiple ways but in some parallel fantasy universe, Playstation will double its sales this gen even when games here now cost 80 freaking euros.

...

I'd politely say it's unlikely but everyone has an opinion etc.

 

[Reallink]

A free console couldn't even "sell" 700 million units, this guy doesn't live in reality.

 

[DrScissorsMD]

Outside of being hilarious on its own, wtf is with his maths/logic of how he arrives to that figure. "Just add in 400 mil spectators and voila!" Lmao

 

[Numenorean]

I say 702 millions

 

[Mokus]

Reaching 150 million units sold would be a huge achievement. Anything else over that, is just crazy talk.

 

[SoggyBiscuit]

Can I have some of the drugs they're taking? They must be wonderful.

That’s hilarious. What the hell?

 

[turtlepowa]

And i predict Sony can be very glad if they beat PS4.

Guess I'm reconsidering to a better career...

 

[Kagey K]

I don’t think they will. They have much more to lose than they can gain.

They are starting strong out of the gates, but I don’t think they can hold the momentum.

 

[vkbest]

I would be really surprised if they get PS4 numbers

 

[Stiflers Mom]

Will do around what the PS4 did.
Which is amazing.


700 mil is beyond retarded.

 

[Explosive Zombie]

 

[ExKing]

That's not even credible. Even if we take peak Wii craze or Switch 2020 consistently for 5, 200 million would not even be reached.

 

[Orta]

Fucking idiots

 

[Chastten]

I can see a console doing 200 million if the competition completely tanks and you're the only one in the market. Both PS2 and NDS were in that situation and did 150 million. And I'd say the market now is bigger than it was back then.

Even so, I don't think Switch sales will slow down all that soon, and I doubt Xbox is gonna drop the ball as hard as they did last gen, so... doubtful.

I'm sure the PS5 will do a great and I can easily see it do 100-150 million though.

 

[Tschumi]

to be honest, this analyst sounds like a dude a couple years away from retirement trying to show he's still got it by flying by the seat of his pants into a hurricane

 

[turtlepowa]

I don’t think they will. They have much more to lose than they can gain.

They are starting strong out of the gates, but I don’t think they can hold the momentum.

I also don't think they can beat PS4. In 2013 they had absolutely no competition because of Microsoft's mistakes and the price advantage and Nintendo was dead at that time. Now they have two serious competitors and neither the cheapest nor the strongest console.

 

[CloudNull]

Lies

 

[ZywyPL]

How are they going to sell 700M consoles when there are only 7M people in the world?!?

 

[Kerotan]

Is this Pachter?

Krazy Ken's new job.

 

[Roberts]

He looks like he is about to die.

Ha, always imagined that he ripped a really smelly one, had a laugh about it and just sniffed it one more time before it vanished forever.

 

[hemo memo]

200?? 300?? 700 million??????!!! “Chief Analyst”!!!

Is he high? What kind of “prediction” is this?

 

[Aceofspades]

Nah, won't happen .
