PS3 and PS4 neck and neck
How much does the PS4 need to sell this year to beat the PS3 same year?
Not 100% sure about those numbers, but it should be in the 1.6-1.8M range. 400k lead and the PS3 sold 1.2-1.4M in the alinged year.
Since the PS4 is the one in the lead, wouldn't that make it 800K-1M to stay in the lead instead of 1.6-1.8M?
PS4 should reach 1M, but I doubt it will do better than the PS3 and be on par with the sales at best.
Yes, you are right. Sorry. It's going to be a bumpy ride. With its current 18k baseline it's going to be very close. If the baseline drops a bit more the PS3 will be in the lead again after this year.
