I am fairly certain that Sony has business analysts who ran the numbers. That said, it would be smart of them to drop $50 on the base system a ton least for Spider-Man release.

PS4 is at 81.2 million sold through to consumers as of July 22, 2018, total PS hardware = 525.3m
- Thread starter bombshell
- Start date
No way, Japan (6m) must account for near half of Vita sales, not a third. It's US sellthrough was near 2m to give some perspective, it cratered in the west. Where would the other 10m come from in this scenario?
This thing is going to be the 4th best selling console by its 5th birthday in November. Holy shit.
At the very least, I don't have issues believing that the Vita sold at least twice as much in Europe as North America.
The pro doesn't make any sense if ps5 is BC and has similar benefits for ps4 games.
400 ps5, 200 ps4 slim. It also makes more sense logistically and they are probably making more money with each slim than with every bro sold
I'd buy that, around 12m global (not 18-19m) seems to square much better with actual known Vita performance.
Which is crazy because that generation did not start well for Sony.
If you sold your bro I would be shocked. ;P
But it is just crazy how good PS4 still sell for 299 in its fifth year.
Probably significantly more than that, seeing as we know it sold 600k+ in Spain alone.
The EEDAR hardware sales chart from the end of 2016 is a good reference point when it comes to overall sales. It obviously isn't perfect and is a little outdated (though that's probably only relevant for the Vita, since we know it's at least sold ~1.5m in Japan since then) but it gives a good idea of what the PS3, 360 and Vita ended up selling.
Yeah. The marketing here in Europe was generally a lot better than in North America. Lots of family bundles and what not.
Right now the slim is $300 I think. If this year it does not permanently go down to $200 then I think Ps5 has to come out in 2020. The pro needs a pricecut before Ps5 comes out.
Wow, PS4 is still a beast! Game like Spiderman, RDR 2 and TLOU 2 will give it big boosts as well. It will definitely hit 100 million units sold by summer next year.
Where was this posted? Only saw the 2015 one.Probably significantly more than that, seeing as we know it sold 600k+ in Spain alone.

I think the pro will stop being made once ps5 begins production.
It was designed with hardcore gamers in mind, so why would any hardcore choose a ps4pro over the new powerful ps5?
That considering it is BC with similar or even better benefits for ps4 software than the pro.
It makes no sense to keep 3 production lines.
Even more,Ps4 pro hasn't exactly been massively available since it was released, so it seems really more like an experiment, with limited production, than a mass market console like the slim.
When I first bought a Sony console I knew it would be relationship that would last the rest of my life.
After driving the fasted lap in a qualifying session, his engineer once asked Juan Manuel Fangio if he should modify the setup of his car. Fangio's answer: "Why, wasn't I fast enough?"
maybe. but it's also for people who wanted a more powerful playstation console. Ps5 needs to be a massive leap from Xbone x
Yeah I'm not sure who the target buyer for a Pro is once the PS5 comes out.
Damn, this system has done crazy well! By the time Spiderman comes out it likely will have matched PS3's lifetime sales and there's a ton more first party and third party games still to come for this system that will likely boost sales a fair chunk to take it up to if not over 100 million!
Sony made a sensible plan with reasonable expectations and it's paid off well for them, I imagine PS5 will have a considerable power boost but will have the same ethos.

Don't have to be Nostradamus to call this Sony. Sony themselves expect 96 million by March. Fair to say 100 million will come soon after. The question next year becomes how far over 100 million does it go? I'm thinking it ends up somewhere in the 110-120M range, but I wouldn't bet against them going higher, especially if Square can manage to drop FFVIIR this generation.
But it ended well with momentum carrying through to the ps4.
It's how you finish that matters most.
oh interesting, thanks!
i wonder what are the chances this holiday's period makes up for it
Yup, they went into overdrive with quality content towards the end of PS3's life and a little even beyond.
MS and Nintendo stopped giving a fuck long before 360/Wii's time ended.
Not likely to happen. Holiday 2017 was already down from 2016 (Black Friday week - end of December). PS4 is trending downwards.
To everyone trying to find PSVita sales, the PS3 final numbers are well above 85 million, should be actually closer to 90 million.
Also PS2 final numbers are not clear, because they haven't reported shipments numbers after the 155 million in March 2012, but we know that the lifetime shipments are between 158.6 million and 161 million.
Same for PS1 i believe... 102.5 million is not the final number as they shipped a bit after the last reported numbers.
I personally think PSVita should be around 13 million worldwide.

Yeah exactly.
However how did the ps2 finish leading up to the PS3 in terms of games? I know it was still selling well.
I think Sony learned their lesson and I surmise that they won't let their foot off the gas pedal going forward.
I support this message. It's time to bring Motorstorm and Resistance back from the dead.
That would be relevant if it weren't for that darn thing called history and Sony dropping the PS2 price by $100 (1/3rd) and I recall that system sold alright. Just because the PS4 is selling well does not mean there won't be a price cut.
I m down for motorstorm but I hope they remake killzone 2 online . That shit was dope
Those iterative consoles released 2-3 years ago pulling their weight it seems. Really good decision by Sony and Microsoft this gen.
Any numbers on how much of the 81 million ps4's sold are Ps4 Pro? We know it was about ~47 million sold through right before the Pro launch..
