The flaw in your theory : nobody buys Sony tvs.
Sony to push for 16 million PS4 shipments in 2013
- Thread starter Cyborg
- Start date
I wouldn't say Zero Chance. In fact I'd suggest that it'll start out a fair chunk lower in Japan and the US.

Maybe we ARE the PS4. It would explain a couple things.

Think about it though... Sony Playstation TV sold in various sizes... it could even be partially subsidized with a subscription service of some sort...
Oh wait, there you go... PS4 could have some sort of subsidized plan on its own when you sign up to whatever online service they'll have available. Maybe that's why they could think they'd sell a ton of consoles?

Sounds more like the fuzzy numbers they have been using recently tbh so it would be PS3 + PS4.
It is their first time building a console after all........ Isn't it?

I believe everyone else speaks for me in the thread when I say: This will not happen.
Not even close. Not even anywhere near close. I just don't even... I should check the source, because that doesn't sound credible.

8GBGDDR5!!!??
Their console consists almost entirely of off-the-shelf parts, with slight modifications at the most. There's no reason why they shouldn't be able to produce plenty PS4s in 2013.
Still, 16.0 million? Either someone misplaced a decimal point, or Sony is getting rather full of themselves...again.
PS: Still waiting for MS to sell 1 Billion Xbox 360s.

16 Millions but only for US and Japan, isn't it?
I wish it would have a worldwide release at least

Ship early.
Hold in retail stock.
MS announces release date of next xbox.
Sony opens the flood gates.
Throw in that Sony is also willing to eat a hardware loss even in their financial situation. MS and Nintendo would rather strip their machines down, Sony calls a hardware loss at launch Wednesday.
People laugh at $599 but Sony ate $300 to bring it down to that price. We've heard that Sony is listening to developers and they are happy. Would be a nice follow up to hear that Sony is also listening to retailers and prices aggressively to gain back market share and lead in the next race.
We keep saying sony needs to listen/pay attention/not repeat mistakes. What if they are doing all of that?
Another angle for massive amounts of units early is cornering the market on parts, especially if MS and Sony are using the same parts more or less. Apple did that a few times. Locked in units for massive shipping, caused delays within in its competitors.
Sony is in war mode. The sleeping giant might actually be waking up.

I'm not so sure that Vita will cost 250 when the PS4 will be released...

Annual parts shipment of 16M from August. AKa 1.3 million per month. I know it's poorly written and unreliable but why are people still interpreting this in the most unrealistic way possible?
fair point. if there is a price drop, sony would be hard pressed to lose too much money on their hardware. nevertheless, even with a $50 price drop, i can see the ps4 easily going for $400 with a premium model going for 5

Nothing is confirmed on the EU release, it's all speculation. Most assume 2014 based on PS3, but maybe Sony will pull a Vita and get it out the same month in US and EU.
If they somehow manufacture 16 million between August and March then it would most definitely be a worldwide 2013 launch.

Yeah, 16 million seems like a ridiculous, arrogant number... until you break it down per month, world wide... and then it's just optimistic (and that's a good thing to be).

I really think this crazy figure is part of the psychological war waged against Microsoft. They try to pressure them before the reveal.
16 millions? Wow. Talking about high expectations...

I would gladly get the PS4 for $300 if I was locked into paying for 3-4 years of Plus.

Omg.
Edit: can you quantify why you think that? The PS4 has had an epic amount of hype and coverage compared to Wii U

That's what they did for the PS2. Worked extremely well.

They are going to push 16 million units out in two or three months?

This is good news if true. Means they will be easy to find and you don't have to resort to high prices on ebay, craigslist etc due to stock issues.

It won't and the integration with PS4 will be pushed hard.

I will wait for Sony's official projections in May.
NO way this is true, maybe by the end of 2014?
Someone needs to ask some other sony execs about this
Ps3 shipped about 1.5 million in 2006
Xbox 360 was projected to ship 2 million in 2005 and probably didn't reach that
the Wii was projected to ship 4 million in 2006 but I don't think they hit that

I like how Sony still thinks that their brand name holds a lot of sway with consumers. Good luck with that ridiculous prediction, Sony.
