Ridiculously impressive numbers. Sony really played all their cards right this gen and are reaping the rewards for it. Congrats to them!
more predictions:
-WiiU will rebound to eventually surpass or at least come very close to gamecube lifetime numbers
-PS4 will have similar DRM to XB1.
-XB1 will bow to pressure and require games to "check in" to their servers about once a month (instead of every 24hrs) sort of like steam does. PS4 will follow suit.
-After strong initial backlash against XB1/PS4 DRM, most will forget about it like DLC this gen because most gamers won't be willing to abandon "next-gen" and go PC only
-PS4 will have gold/silver plans with online multiplayer falling under the gold charged plan. The gold plan will include free games and other features like PSN+ so not so bad
-PS4 will come out with their own "surface" app (not vita). Surface will be pretty big and innovative
-TV will eventually be transmitted almost entirely over the internet (iptv) and MS is positioning XB1 to be a trojan-horse provider, worldwide. No extra equipment required. May not explode, but I see it happening in a few years and could be a big selling point.
This is a legit 5 star post. Amazing.
Well, historically, thats how the year breaks down with a nice majority of sales happening in Q3,Q4. So the demand will most certainly be there. The only problem, as you said, is whether they prepared the appropriate production lines?don't think this is possible, won't they have to manufacture nearly 1.5M units per month? crazy numbers
LOL, all that crow

Dad Surface prediction....yeesh.A few more amazing predictions from the linked thread. Honestly guys, I think we found the forum's resident psychic.

Big numbers .. I know many of my friends are holding out for the release of the Destiny bundle.
ya'know, the second half of his list isn't super batshit crazy. It's kinda crazy, but it has granules of insight (PS+ multiplayer, using consoles as TV services, phone integration apps).

Some of them are shameless
OK, I'm actally pretty sure open_mouth_ posts are not serious.
There is no way anyone seriously believes those bolded points.
Do you know how many Chinese there are? Billions.
Xbox one at one billion sales by Chinese launch confirmed.
My understanding of the supply chains is that even under "instant sell-out" conditions, at any given time you'll have 3-4 weeks worth of shipments that haven't even reached the shelves yet, so your current sell-in will always be "the length of your supply chain" greater than your current sell-through.Oh, my bad, I thought we were still talking about sell through. My argument was that since the Wii was selling out within days of shipments arriving, that since they shipped 11m+ in the same time frame the install base has already crossed streams.
Console launch eerily reminiscent to other console launches in past. News at 11.Congrats, but I think that 2015 PS4 deserves those sales more than 2013/2014 ps4
Almost an early access console
Fiscal year or calender year?
Wow the WiiU launched very early and is selling very good
15-18mil in one year?
I'm in college right now, and the today's dudebros don't care about these franchises that much anymore. A lot of them, believe it or not, play smartphone games like Clash of Clans or even League of Legends. A lot has changed since 2007...
I was going to perhaps get the Xbox One, but if the PS4 is really outselling it by this much, maybe I will get one of those instead.
It started with the 8GB GDDR5 and it never stopped! Sony products are rocking this year! Camera TV Audio Phones Insurance and Playstation!

Wow that is all intriguing to read haha.
I wonder how developers are reacting to this news.

Actually, Sony does indeed sell insurance in Japan. It is one of their most profitable sectors.
