Japan doesnt give a crap about Microsoft
While again acknowledging its mostly a worthless distinction, lets not assume how Sony derives their figures. We know, and they know, that at least in a few markets (Spain, Italy, Brazil) its not sold out, so shipped != sold exactly. Its pretty likely their shipped number is higher than 5.3M. Additionally there is lead-time from stock sold to retail then again to consumer.

Wow, I like the cut of your jib, good sir.
You are delusional if you think MS isn't taking this news hard.
...I highly doubt that Sony will go back into being arrogant again, especially considering their financial situation.

I don't think SO can (too quirky/niche of a game) but QB definitely has the potential to do so based on how they are setting the game up to be. Again, we'll see though. We aren't even halfway into the first year of the gen.
So is this really sony's late npd pr report? Iirc I don't think released one last week right?Well yeah, retail sales from Sony are their attempt at approximating the most exact estimates they can, so I assume they'd adjust for the lead-time and the few markets that aren't demand-constrained when calculating the 5.3 million unit figure.
But they told me consoles are dying !! How is that possible ?
Expected March LTDs from these numbers:
Wii U: 6.2m
PS4: 7.0m
Xbox One: 4.2m
Very impressive altogether.
No, even something like last of us didn't put PS3 ahead for that month. Let's be realistic

So is it Peter Moore who will have to explain to the board of directors why EA aren't selling their new ip on the 7 million selling Sony console?

Ah ok thanksThey released a statement saying "PS4 is the best-selling console in the USA in January and it sold 2:1 the sales of the Xbox One."
We then learned that meant there were 271K PS4 sales and 141K Xbox One sales in January.
I don't believe itNew Zealand:
PS4 best selling.

Well... just out of curiosity, how do you know they're taking the news hard?
I would like to see a movie based on this. David Cage should get on it.
He's not serious.

Is there any reason why their announcing this figure, for this specific time period, now? 5.3M and to Feb 8th are kind of arbitrary?
Is this the equivalent of announcing they passed the 5M milestone?

Mark Cerny designing the PS5 is an assured thing.
They felt like a .3 this month. ;PIs there any reason why their announcing this figure, for this specific time period, now? 5.3M and to Feb 8th are kind of arbitrary?

they gambled and it didnt work out, shit happens. You can bet the sequel will find its way to PS4.
Phire Phox? Oh he is serious.

Probably not. They got their money (and they probably made sure they got truckloads of it).This is how EA, Peter Moore and Respawn feel about right now!!

While I don't know whether they are taking the news hard or not..I wouldn't be surprised if they are. From an outsiders perspective, they are in a bit of a tight spot
Their key markets are being re-taken by Playstation. Which means potential money lost in game/service/hardware sales, especially since they invested heavily in region specific features like the NFL stuff
Outside of these markets, they were kinda fked last gen too. Now Sony launched in more countries than them from the start so the lead will only increase this gen.
I believe the rumors about more pressure on the xbox division within MS to be true. This basically isn't a good look
I feel like they are banking a lot on Titanfall launch
Yep surprise they didn't wait until after the Japan launch though.Their last PR (January 8th) was 4.2 million units.
I assume they wanted to wait for NPD results so they could add that quip about PS4 being the best-selling console in the USA in January along with the 5.3 million.
Last of Us also released at a time in which many people owned a PS3 too. If that game was a launch title then I think it would have pushed many into getting a console to play it.
We simply don't know yet. Got to see how things will play out.
