I think that sony forecast of 5 million sales for the PS4 is a little optimistic considering different factors. First of all the price, the PS4 will cost 100 dollars more than the Xbox one. A lot of gamers including me would rather buy the Xbox one instead of paying 100 dollars extra. Next is the accessibility of the system, unlike the Xbox one, the PS4 would not be able to run games from his old version the PS3, which is pretty inconvenient. Gamers in addition to 100 dollars extra will have to buy expensive games in order to play.
The new system PS4 will probably have success. However, I still very pessimistic about the 5 million dollars forecast consedering the price and the limited accessibility of the system.
Compare to the article about X-BOX on my blog, this has really optimistic view on the new PS4. Sony expect that they are going to make more than 5 million sales, but I don't think so because on PS4 players can't play games which were used on PS3. It means you need to buy a new game CDs for a new console. In addition, the game GTA5 has a huge impact on gaming industry, but it's only for PS3, and they announced they don't have plan to publish GTA5 for PS4. GTA5 came out a month before the new PS4 came out, so I think PS4 need to solve this compatibility problem to compete with the new XBOX.
