PlayStation 4 hits 35.9 million sold through to end users

I'm not sure what's so "LOL" about Destiny. They're official documents, it was somewhat reasonable to believe it would not have been on Playstation initially.

Isn't it over a million just in Japan? And considering the install base I'd say it's pretty damn big. I can't remember WW estimates though.

This thread is not salty enough....
I see some salt but not enough. Need like a truckload of salt, come on.

Bloodborne? Unless we return to discuss about gameplay and consider this is another Souls game

Over 500,000 as of August in North America so it's probably past 2 million at this point
It's been past 2 million for a good while now -

Ehhh you're giving sony a bit too much credit here. There were two consoles and the 599 was widely recognized as a value packed multimedia device but not all could afford it so that probably stunted their start a bit, still outselling 360 worldwide from day 1.
The network had some issues and was more budget but it was FREE and many loved that. Meanwhile games like Warhawk and cod ran just as well on this network.
Games there were some like Fallout that did run poorly on ps3, I played both versions. Their exclusives meanwhile from day 1 looked great and the graphics difference in multiplats was minimal, like we had pixel counting back then while this gen people are saying graphics don't matter.
Don't call it a comeback there's always things could be done better but they weren't blindly wandering the desert

You kidding? Those were the dark arrogant Sony years. I hated them back then. It lead to a disastrous PS3 launch. Not saying they are back there, but Sony leading with limited competition worries me.

It sold 2+ million. It's a success, no doubt, but I dont know if I'd put it in the same category as those other bigger successes.
Isn't it nov+dec
That's not very impressive
Is it?
Or maybe it is, iono
Kaz certainly seemed very pleased

By the end of 2016, I'd wager.
They announced 30.2M on Nov 25th.

......and the 2016 playstation lineup is going to be insane.

I'd imagine Shu's over the moon to be working with Kojima Productions directly.
Salty Ryan fully deserved that poking.

Black Friday week plus December.
Decent amount of software coming out, PSVR, possible further price-cuts and a maybe even a Slim version as a wildcard.
Essentially, pure guess work, nothing concrete to work with.
I definitely get that, but on a total install base of ~12m, that's pretty good. The game might end up close to Smash/Mario on Wii U levels.
No, I mean, PS4 would have to sell even more than this year, say 20 mil, and XBO would have to sell less than ~2 mil for 3:1 to happen.
Unless you think PS4 will do even more?

Who cares if you personally felt they were arrogant? The PS2 library was amazing.

Well... You did bring up Ryan; certainly not the most unbiased journalist on the planet.
Er, i don't even know how one could have hated the PS1 and PS2 gens. Unless one didn't own one of them of course
Well we don't know what XB1 did for December yet, so maybe the gap is larger than you think. Still it's very unlikely that a 3:1 could be achieved. I'd be very surprised if 3:1 happens at all really. Assuming PS4 is tracking for 100 mil, XB1 would stay at 33 mil after 360 selling 80+? Seems unlikely.
Oh whoops, I totally forgot they'd still be selling XB1's, lol
Let's move that 3:1 ratio to the beginning of 2018 then; 2 years should be ample time for that kind of lead to manifest.
I wonder just how low the price of the PS4 will actually be able to get at the end of life with a mandatory hard drive. That seemed to be the key for the PS2's ridiculously long tail. I'm not the most up to date on rock bottom pricing, but don't hard drives stay relatively costly?
That's double what I expected. Crazy, especially considering there wasn't any of the so called killer exclusive this holiday.
This actually makes the 13 million Battlefront figure a lot more believable. If we estimate a third or half of the bundles sold are Battlefront ones, and if Xbone pulled similar numbers then that's 5 million units accounted for alone.

Wait wait wait...PS4 sold more in 2015 than Xbox One LTD? What the fuck? Jesus I didn't know it was that bad. I mean I knew it was bad but...damn.
Like...when put into context like that...my mind is blown a bit.

Eh, make it end of 2018 to be safe.
If PS4 gets to ~75 mil by late 2017, I am sure XBO at least gets to 30 mil, at which point it's 2.5:1.

What do you mean? Sure Sony is like 20m ahead of Xbox but Nintendo announced 10m back in July and are likely only 3-5m behind Xbox.
Xbox and Nintendo are doing fine it is just Sony going to infinity and beyond.
Oh come on man. The PS4 is a succes, that's all.
Yea, it's been a crazy gen so far, all things considered.
