Can Spider Man Bring PlayStation 4 Past 100 Million Consoles Sold

Spider-Man PS4 hype has reached critical mass! Trophy Room hosts Joseph, Kyle, and special guest Luke talk about the Spider-Man Special Limited Edition PlayStation 4, and PS4 Pro bundles. Can Spider-Man be a game changer for Sony this holiday season? Is it possible for the PlayStation 4, to out sell the Nintendo Switch come this holiday? Does Sony really expect Spidey to push their console past 100 million unit mark? Also, Sky Cooper gets a make over for television. Could this mean Bluepoint's mystery game is a Sly Cooper, remake, remaster, or a new take on the character? Fortnite is already a billion dollar game, and its battle royale mode isn't even one year old, and much more!

[Thatguy-310]

Spider-man and a 250$ official price reduction will sell these consoles on the quickness.

[Poli_Games]

Some beautiful Black Friday bundles perhaps!

[FullmetalRoyale]

You mean a Brack Friday Bundulu!?
They wouldn’t!

[Platinum_k]

On route to outsell ps2 perhaps?

[UltraNova]

As long as bundles are available it will sell gangbusters for sure. The game will sell upwards of 8-10 million within a year and thats a conservative estimation!

[Ceaser9857361]

Spiderman looks great the red PS4 console looks sexy and i see no reason why it shouldn't

I hope they sell that red spiderman controller separately

[Bhai]

Spidey, TLoU2, DS to name a few... will definitely make PS4 jump the ladder right behind PS2... now THAT is a lot of units sold... I'm sure they'll cross over Wii and even the PS1.

[showtimefolks]

It will get past that number and than some regardless of one game

[PhoenixUp]

PS4 will pass 100 million regardless

[sammarshall102]

This. The Last of Us 2 will sell many consoles too

[sprinterboy]

Plus death stranding

[InKnight7s]

Plus KH3( not exclusive but we all know that FF and Kh sell the best on PS.)

[kneon]

I agree that it will go over 100 million no matter what. But this late in the cycle I don't expect any game release to have a huge impact. There may be a short-lived sales bump with a new game release, but the only thing that will cause a more sustained increase in sales is a price cut.

[Muzikguy]

I was thinking that same thing

[v_eno_m]

will definitely help

i preorder mine +1 ^_^

[rainslacker]

I'm getting the limited edition one. It'll be my 3rd ps4 for the gen.

[SmielmaN]

Preordered my Spidey PS4 as well. :)

[SkippyPaccino]

If it doesn't, than a red dead redemption 2 bundle will put it over the hump.

[Legatus]

Not only Spider-man, but also Days Gone, Ghost of Tsushima, Death Stranding and TLoU part II and that's the beauty of the PS4.

[Poli_Games]

Im SO excited for Ghost of Tsushima!

[WelkinCole]

I mean who does not want play as a samurai? Yeah I am looking forward to it more than TLOU Part 2 to be honest simply because it new and that SP is going for a more realistic approach but not too much to keep it intense but still fun. .

[firelogic]

At minimum Spider-man will do for Sony what God of War did, both in terms of game units sold as well as console units sold. Spider-man is a huge IP that the world is dying for more of with the recent resurgence of the character. It's rated T instead of M and from the looks of things, it'll be rated extremely highly.

[Si-Fly]

But Kratos is cool AF where as Spider-Man is a gimp.

[ALLIJOW]

Lol true

[TheRealHeisenberg]

Although I prefer my GoW Pro over this one, Spiderman is not a gimp. He's no Kratos but not a gimp.

[ziggurcat]

It will probably sell a few consoles, but I don't think it'll push it past 100 million.

[JesusBuiltmyHotrod]

lol....

[ziggurcat]

not sure what's funny - it's going to result in a lot of consoles sold, but it won't do 20 million.

[The_Sage]

It's a love affair... Mainly Jesus and my car.

[The_Sage]

It looks like at least two people don't get the reference, eh Jesus?..

[OB1Biker]

Man your trying to make a point on the difference between 'push' and 'help push',?
Seriously?

[ziggurcat]

Well, yes... there's a difference between solely pushing sales from 80 million to beyond 100 million (which is what the article is asking), and contributing in pushing console sales beyond 100 million.

[OB1Biker]

As I understand it, it's more a matter of timing. Push or help push is about the same thing.

[LiViNgLeGaCY]

I mean, it's getting there no matter what, but yeah, it's definitely going to get it there faster.

[JesusBuiltmyHotrod]

It's passing 100 mill anyway has nothing to do with spidey, another awful article title , and article in general.

[UCForce]

The marketing on this game willl be a huge. I’m sure Spider Man PS4 will boost PS4 units even further. 100 million units is possible.

[capjacksparrow]

This will be my third PS4 (my first PS4 Pro). I just couldn't help it, I love the simplicity of the design. I do wish the underside of the controller was blue though. I think PS4 will finish at over 110 mil when all is said and done. Don't forget, that price will drop eventually!

[CaptainOmega]

It will do good numbers.

[Wallstreet37]

I have an og ps4 and pro, the og lately has been turning off on its own (probably heating issues) so i am really tempted to get this Spider-Man version (i love the look). These are going to fly off shelves.

[TheRealHeisenberg]

Already have 3 in my household. Probably will not add a 4th until I find one for under $150.

[franwex]

Why so many? Lol.

[TheRealHeisenberg]

My sons and I game together whenever possible. We did the same thing last gen.

[franwex]

That's awesome! It's like having LAN parties!

[Jay767]

all the upcoming ps4 exclusives will do their part to help move ps4's off the store's shelf.

[XxExacutionerxX]

No

[UCForce]

Yes, it is possible.

[NeoGamer232]

I think the PS4 is headed for 100 million in sales. Spider-man will not change that fact.

[jcole97]

Yes

[ChickenOfTheCaveMan]

No, it will bring it close enough but I think the 100M units breaker will be this year's Black Friday.

[masterfox]

Probably will just hasten the process ;)

[zivtheawesome]

before the end of 2018 probably not, going by sony's expectation for selling 16 million this fiscal year, probably meaning not too many price drops for the holidays.

[Tross]

It will surpass 100 million without Spider-Man's help, but maybe.

[solidossnakos]

Yes it's gonna push sales as most PS4 exclusives, but it's not gonna sell 20million consoles alone, God of war still doing it's best also a hefty number of spider Man game fans already have a PS4.
What I'd like to see is the number of PS4 pro that's gonna jump in sales after Spider Man release.
That game is really pushing PS4 pro to it's limit.

[sprinterboy]

No but close too

[KillBill]

So you are saying that Spider-Man console is going to push nearly 20 million sales? What are you smoking? So in 5 years Sony has sold 80 million consoles which is an average of 16 million an entire year. But Spider-Man is going to push them 20 million units during the holiday? How deluded are you guys?

[Einhander1971]

Possibly but PS2 still holds the crown for now, but PS4 could certainly do it.

[trooper_]

I don't see why not.

Spiderman is a very popular franchise.

[FernDiggidy]

This, ghost and TLOU 2 will def help it.

100 here we go!

[ocelot07]

No I don't not on it's own. It's going to be an amazing game. But I think this and a Red Dead bundle is what is going to help the PS4 reach 100m sales this Christmas.

[kayoss]

You expect spider-man alone to sell almost 20 million PS4s?

[Elda]

Imo it may hit the 100 million mark by the end of this year.

[Tres21]

I want this 1 so bad. Lookin at my pro lik how come u dont look lik that.lol
