Anyone else predicting 20 million ps4's sold by the end of January?

GribbleGrunger3406d ago (Edited 3406d ago )

I'm predicting 18.5m - 19m BUT 20m is still well worth considering (I'm playing it safe!) and THAT'S by January 1st. 25m by mid March.

imt5583406d ago

Maybe 20 mil. shipped. I presume 18 mil. sold through till end of 2014.

GribbleGrunger3406d ago

No, 18.5m - 19m 'sold though' with the potential to hit 20m 'sold through' if stock is available.

johndoe112113406d ago

It would be really interesting to see the mid March results.

zeee3405d ago

I think 20 mil is a huge number. Conservative number though would be 18 to 19 miles sold through.

20 miles would be Amazing!

I'm taking a risk and going for 20m sold by the end of December.

PS4 is probably one of the hottest Christmas items worldwide this year. It's becoming the casual console to own "to get all those good games" like what PS2 used to be.

MrSec843406d ago

Higher than 20 million is highly likely at this point.
I certainly wouldn't be shocked if PS4 topped 21 million by the 31st of December.

People have been underestimating PS4's sales since the system launched, with all of the games announced for next year people have a lot to buy the system for going in to 2015.

In Europe there are a tonne of awesome deals, US too.
20m is guaranteed

nowitzki20043406d ago

Very close, which im sure is well ahead of what even Sony thought it would be by this time when it was released.

Just been to Saturn in Kurfürstendamm St, one of Berlin's largest streets and they are almost out of PS4 stock, same to the one in Alexanderplatz as well. While it is good to sell that much, running out of stock this close to Christmas is not ideal either.

PaulFiend3406d ago

Pretty sure they'll have more soon. Good news anyway. :)

Immorals3406d ago

More than plenty of all consoles here, never seen a shortage this gen. One of the benefits of living in a port city I guess :p

Sayburr3406d ago

I am sure Sony never expected to sell so many consoles in this quickly. It is hard for them to keep up with demand, but I hope they can do so. I would hate to see any company lose sales because they can't make enough systems.

MrSec843406d ago

They'd sold 4.4M by the end of December, with some units left on shelves, which means they were able to ship over 1.1M a month up until the end of the year.
Maybe Sony were caught off guard in the beginning, but they've had over a year to adjust their expectations.

Considering that the plants that make PS4 and Xbox Ones can churn out over plenty of iPhones for Apple to be able to top 160 million units of one model of phone Sony can definitely ship plenty of units to handle the 20 million odd demand they've had in the 1st 15 months of the system's life.

Good informative video in post, but did you notice something in the video that maybe very interesting in further development's for VR in PSVR?

Something Many might have not caught on about PSVR, and its a really good idea to have the Headset built with this functionality in the headset, and its pretty good that it's included..
I know what it is, I want to see if other people caught it..Hint: it has to do with tracking in VR!
Take careful notice in the 1min 9 to 12 second's of the video..

It's there. And it's a real further Key what Sony has intended to add with PSVR in the future of its tracking.

NET_Nomad2786d ago (Edited 2666d ago )

Interesting… notice that during 0:22 – 0:24 of the video, 3 black bands appear, quickly whip around then disappear into PS VR. I think those 3 black bands hint at PS4 Neo's exterior design. [1]

I kinda figured "The Know" got their story taken down due to their click-bait headline that suggested spoilers. They didn't actually have any early footage and shouldn't have been taken down.

DigitalRaptor2808d ago

I really dislike The Know's click-bait video titles.

Good guys, but I wish they would stop with that crap. Something like that was bound to happen.

TwoForce2807d ago

Well, Everyone want to have more views.

iTechHeads2807d ago

I don't really see why it matters if the title is clickbait or not. I mean if you fall for it, its your fault.
I've been using the internet long enough to spot bull from a mile away.

Twisted Metal on PS4 would be cool

DarkOcelet3340d ago

I think we can clearly assume it will be in production after Drawn to Death.

The game is just awesome.

Naga3340d ago

Awwwwww shiiii. The world needs a little more Twisted Metal.

Cra2yey33340d ago

Only if its the old school twisted metal and not the reboot... Black 2 would be great

SoapShoes3340d ago

The reboot had way better gameplay and bosses though. The only down side was lack of stories but that didn't bother me.

MONOLITHICIDE3340d ago (Edited 3340d ago )

Yes. The one they wanted to make but needed more ram. And I loved the ps3 twisted metal. Was like warhawk but in twisted universe

tinynuggins3340d ago

This will hands down get me to buy a ps4. I miss twisted metal.

gangsta_red3340d ago

Hopefully if they make a new Twisted Metal it won't be like the last one on PS3. That was not Twisted Metal I enjoyed and played from yester years.

Now Twisted Metal Black...there's a real TM game and if any game needed a remaster/HD version it would be that game right there.

Dan503340d ago

Make it more like TM 1, 2 and Black and less like the PS3 version and I would SO buy it!

SoapShoes3340d ago

No PS3 version had WAAAYYYY better gameplay, stages, and bosses. Take PS3 TM gameplay and put Black like stories in them and we're talking.

Dan503340d ago

I was talking about how the PS3 version tossed single player stories out the window and focused only on multi player.

Twisted Metal sold 'fine,' was 'not a dud,' says Jaffe
