Sony's latest console could prove as popular as the Nintendo Wii and PlayStation 2 before it, according to multi-year predictions made by consultancy firm Strategy Analytics. The firm foresees an emphatic victory for the PlayStation 4, if indeed the home console manufacturers can be said to still be engaged in war only with each other. Looking ahead to 2019, Strategy Analytics anticipates 80 million PlayStation 4s sold through to customers, in comparison to 57 million sales for Microsoft's Xbox One. Using existing data for legacy consoles as well as more recent numbers for newer machines, the firm's report has first-year sales for the PlayStation 4 closely matching those of the 2000s' PlayStation 2, with 18.5 million units shipped to stores relative to the PS2's 20.1m figure.
