With the PS4 starting to stabilize downward, and the new generation of consoles being announced this year, where do you predict the PS4s LTD will stop at?

Right now it's over 100 million sold. With a $100 price cut this holiday, if they do so, I can see some recovered sales after the new console announcements, but how high will it go?

Choose one of the options and tell us why you think that's the likely number the LTD will end at. Or what Sony can do to possibly increase sales to go even higher.

I think a lot of people will make the jump to the PS4 Pro, but not enough to get us close to or over 130 million. I think 120 million units sold would be really reasonable.

 

[MiyazakiHatesKojima]

131 million.

 

[pcostabel]

131 million.

130,000,001

130,000,001

Strongly disagree

130,000,002

The PS4 has done amazingly well at capturing a market, I have no doubt it will continue to sell strongly until and even after the PS5 ships, assuming they overlap. While I chose to skip it this gen, I'd be wrong to dismiss it's strengths.

 

[rəddəM]

If it sold and is selling this good, imagine with a price cut.

 

[TLZ]

I'll go with over 130m.

This year very possible to hit 110. Then if next year they sell 10, and the 2 years after 5 each, that's 130. Then they keep trickling a few million after that.

 

[Grinchy]

Well, it's safe to assume it's at 100M right now, and they sell about 18-20M per year, so 120M is basically unquestionable.

And it won't just completely stop selling after another year goes by, so 130+ is pretty reasonable. Even when PS5 comes out, the PS4 will continue to sell.

 

[juliotendo]

125 million because it will continue to be sold after PS5 release for a few more years.

 

[Zannegan]

My first thought was, "Current sales plus 30% if it keeps selling after its successor launches like the PS3 and PS2 did." So 130-ish?

Seems a little high written out like that. When did they hit 100 million?

 

[Foxbat]

The only things that can potentially stop the PS4 from doing 130 million would be.

1. A world altering event such as an astroid strike.
2. Sony discontinuing the PS4 soon.
3. Market saturation.

Realistically speaking number 3 is the only thing that might prevent it from hitting much over 130 million. There's only so many people on earth that will buy a console.

 

[JordanN]

If GTA 6 comes out for this generation, I could easily see PS4 hitting 130 million+

LOL, when you got that person looking to OWN on The Price Is Right
