Decent. Impressive.

I've had a ps4 for a year now, and not played it once. Need to play The Last of Us will.

Its cool and all, but i dont understand why its still selling so well.

I mean since its launch, nothing really improved in OS or Services aka PSN. Some of the first Party games for my taste are really uninteresting and really dont provide much if you are multiplayer gamer.

I mean XboxOne IMO does it way better at the moment. Monthly OS Updates, we got a completly redesigned and faster UI, BC and the Games with Gold selection is way better too over the month and with BC even better.

Sure its great that its selling well, but i really cant understand it. Sure the Hardware is better. But cmon nobody can deny that Sony is really lazy so far.

That really didn't take long, did it?

(And "we"? Come on.)

Horizon is not mentioned in the press release for upcoming games...



Probably doesn't mean anything though.

It's gonna be 2017. I remember the post-E3 interview in which the dev stated they were hoping for a 2016 release. That pretty much cements it as a 2017 release for me.

To put this into perspective...

They achieved 30.2M sold through by Nov 22, which is well into the final quarter of the 2016... and then in the following ~five weeks they sold another 5.7M. Phenomenal.

Plus, they surely have 1-1.5M consoles on shelves, so quarterly shipped number will be higher.

Wow. Sold through? Good lord. Gratz Sony. This gen was a referendum on what Gamers want and value in a console.

Yeah, 2* and 3* can be confusing, but the press release itself clearly specifies

PLAYSTATION®4 (PS4™) SELLS THROUGH 5.7 MILLION UNITS
WORLDWIDE DURING THE 2015 HOLIDAY SEASON
PS4 Software Sell through 35 Million over the Same Period,
PlayStation®Plus Subscribers Increase by 60% at the end of 2015

This means PS4 had a 6.14 tie ratio between November 22nd/23rd and January 2nd/3rd

Yeah Sony been killing it. Quite amazing and perhaps the reason we see so many games being announced for Win10 by MS.

Im curious if the rise will continue in 2016 or dip off.

Sony loves to toss their numbers out every chance they get. We all get it. They sold a TON of consoles...now how about they fix their network and put out some damn games.
