My prediction on Gaf was if Sony could achieve market share parity with MS in the US PS4 would top 100m.
I checked the other day, I was almost on point with the XBO and WiiU, but I was very low on the PS4. Around 85m, I think
I think Sony should consider selling PS5 at a initial loss like the old days to cash in on this momentum. They have more ways than ever now to make it up on the backend thanks to the internet.
They should even promote Cross Buy/Play/Save as a way to get all these PS4 owners comfortable migrating even if there is another PS3-like software drought.

Good luck trying to convince the shareholders selling at a loss is the move after shipping 100 million consoles at a profit.
Just have to point to the PS3. Hopefully that would be enough.
Wouldn't that make their point stronger against selling at a loss? Nobody at Sony wants to again to what they went with the PS3 at launch
Well it's a question of want the headline to be. "Sales Down XX% As Sony sees a profit" or "Sales Up X%, As Sony takes a loss".
I think during a launch short term loss would be fine if it meant long term gains. Especially if you can make it up with subscriptions.
