You cant be sure they wont sell that number. They havent shown any signs of slowing down yet.

Last PS gen lasted 7 years (PS3 came out in 2006 and it sold almost 90 million consoles between 2006 and 2013). PS4 is out since 4 years and it’s barely reaching half of the selling-rate. Don’t be sure that sales will remain the same for the next years, the big chunk of consoles sales is during their first years of life.

Last gen lasted 10 years amd they sold 90 million consoles a piece. We are 4 years in and ps4 is at 53 million. That’s more than half of thr numbers in less that 5 years. No Tim is wrong.

Last gen: PS3 (90m) + 360 (90m) = 180m of consoles sold in 7 years
This gen: PS4 (53m) + One (probably something around 25m) = 78m sold in over 3 years

Now, with Pro and stuff we’re probably going to hit the 100m global sales for consoles, but we’re probably going to stop there, without talking about Wii and casual gaming, of course, that’s already away from console market (except for FIFA and CoD players, maybe). Sweeney is absolutely right, consoles have lost atleast 40% of their players and younger ones today are playing on mobile platforms with freetoplay games. Try asking a 15yrs old guy if he knows what’s Deus Ex or Dishonored, then try asking him what’s Clash Royale.
