So I debated on whether or not to create this thread considering the others that exist close to the topic at hand but as it seems to have gone under the radar,

From the official Sony PR for the 10M announcement [as of 8/12/14]

The PS4 system is currently available in 100 countries and regions*4 worldwide.

http://www.scei.co.jp/corporate/release/140813a_e.html

As per the last official announcement of PS4 sales back in April for the 7M announcement [as of 3/31/14]

The PS4 system is currently available in 72 countries and regions*7 worldwide.

http://www.scei.co.jp/corporate/release/140417_e.html

I thought it was interesting, no idea what 28 countries or regions they've launched in the time between announcements although I don't expect them to be large markets for the console

Where do u live and how much are u willing to pay for shipping

*Whistle *

KingMayuke · Aug 13, 2014

Should obviously be good for sales. I wonder if the Xbox will see any significant sales increase since it too is spreading to more countries.

Argentina. And is not possible to import because that kind of things "get lost" here and/or need to pay absurdly high fees and be registered as an importer.

Yup, especially China with billions of people

Sales in those countries, though probably considered tiny, add up.

I wonder how Microsoft and Nintendo compare by the end of the year.

Microsoft probably less than 50.

PotionBleue · Aug 13, 2014

Why countries and regions? What do they consider as a region?

Shanghai, maybe?
As far as I (wikipedia) know, it's planned for a release in "Shanghai (China)"

I wonder in what countries it is available, on the wikipage only 50 are listed...

Wouldn't be so sure about that. Offical market release is nice and all, but there has been a grey market for quite some time. Those, who are able to afford a console, probably already got one. Only time will tell.

15m by the end of the year seems almost pessimistic. Strong lineup, too. I wouldn't bet on it, but I believe there is a realistic chance to see sales around 18m.

Wasteman · Aug 13, 2014

I reckon quite a wag above 15 is possible with Christmas seasons taken in mind. It was very hard to get hold of one same time last year so I am sure many missed out. Coupled with last-gen fatigue kicking in for a lot of kids/people it could have an even higher demand.

Hell I could imagine Unity alone selling a shit ton itself as there is no last gen offering of it.

That's doable! Just skip a couple morning coffees, buy the generic brand toilet paper, and sell, maybe, like one or two organs on the black market.

Mpl90 · Aug 13, 2014

Yeah, probably being launched in all those countries helped in reaching the 10 millions goal. I mean, they're probably all countries / regions where the console market isn't that big, but 28 tiny launches, all being added, could form a good amount of sales.

Here in chile normally is 350000 pesos which equals to about 600 US dollars based on the current convert rate. That's pretty good i think if we compare it to other countries's prices in my region.

The suggested retail price is same here, and I'd guess it's because of you guys

Here is mostly the same, but thankfully Amazon Global exists (sometimes).

Yeah, you have the cheapest I think, although here the price has somewhat dropped (retail chains have it at around USD 950 while in places like Mercadolibre seems to be around USD 750 now)

With Destiny and holiday sales, getting to 15 million shouldn't be a problem. I'm guessing 16,5 by the end the year.

I first thought 14m but then realized holiday season and games like Destiny are coming out. I'd say 16.5m if not more now.

At this point you might as well go to french guyana and buy one for 400.

TheRealTalker · Aug 13, 2014

20 Million by end of Q2 2015 maybe?

Heavy lineup for Q1 and Q2

Ecuador has PS4s for a surprising $600 apparently. Higher than US, but lower than I thought it'd be. Not that anyone will buy them for a while, since it's a pretty piratey country.

mejin · Aug 13, 2014

A friend of mine told:

"Nintendo has Japan.
Microsoft has Brazil.
Sony, the rest."

Not sure if it's original, but I laughed.
