Closing Strong
Electronic Arts estimates that the PS4/PS4 Pro and Xbox One will continue to climb in sales. The consoles are expected to reach 105 million units combined by the end the 2017 calendar year. This will put them above the 79 million units sold from last year. CEO Andrew Wilson noted that the estimate does include the Nintendo Switch. Any sales generated by Nintendo will be in addition to the current estimates.
Jorgensen also mentions that EA expects PC gaming to decline slightly while mobile continues to grow during 2017.
