“I am thrilled that so many customers around the globe have continued to select PS4 as the best place to play throughout and beyond the holiday season," said Andrew House, President and Group CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. "We are delighted that according to the NPD Group's latest data, PS4 was January's top-selling console in the United States. The PS4 system's momentum just keeps growing stronger, and we are extremely grateful for the continued passion and support of PlayStation fans. February 22 sees the launch of PS4 in Japan, and I'm looking forward to Japanese fans sharing the excitement of the deep social capabilities and entertainment experiences only possible on PS4."

Very good. On track to reaching 10 million in less than one year.

 

[DJwest]

Damn. Has the PS4 already outsold the Wii U worldwide ?

 

[BoboBrazil]

Boom, surprised this came out before Japan launch.

 

[xxracerxx]

Holy fuck.

 

[Chuck Norris]

Very good. On track to reaching 10 million in less than one year.

I'd say its tracking towards 15 at least

 

[Bgamer90]

Damn. Has the PS4 already outsold the Wii U worldwide ?

I believe so....

Edit: Wii U is at 5.9 million. So yeah, PS4 will definitely go past it soon.

 

[Gonzo The Great]

Damn. Has the PS4 already outsold the Wii U worldwide ?

Wii U was at 5.86 million by the end of 2013. It will definitely surpass the Wii U sometime in March.

 

[Horse Armour]

THIS is what happens when you treat gamers with respect.

Thank you so much, Sony.

 

[fallen_dawn]

So 1.1 million units between December 28th and Feb 8th?

And hasn't even launched in Japan yet?

Wow.

 

[MavFan619]

Great to hear, I want everyone to get on the overall next gen train so that cross gen thing can be gone sooner than later.

 

[vooglie]

Do we know the WW numbers of the bone and Wii U?

 

[GeoramA]

So they already surpassed their April goal of 5 mil. Crazy...

 

[Citizen_Insane]

That's incredible, especially since it's still out of stock so often.

 

[Timu]

Wow, that's crazy good!!!

 

[brandonh83]

Good. Amazing console. Really enjoying mine.

 

[Toki767]

Potential for 6 million by this weekend?

 

[BoboBrazil]

It's still selling every unit being made too. They will be at 10 million by Summer.

 

[RE_Player]

Japan launch is just around the corner

 

[Silky]

Marvelous.

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

This is good.

 

[jiggle]

1.1mil in jan + 11 days
not bad ya

 

[Striek]

Wii U was at 5.86 million by the end of 2013. It will definitely surpass the Wii U sometime in March.

This is sold to consumers, that is sold to retailers.

 

[razgriz417]

Great momentum, expecting ps4 to be over 6 million by Monday next week lol

 

[Nirolak]

Damn. Has the PS4 already outsold the Wii U worldwide ?

It's not 100% clear, but its sales will almost assuredly surpass Wii U /shipments/ sometime next month.

[piedude]

Damn that's good and still hasn't launched in japan.

 

[Aquamarine]

Damn. Has the PS4 already outsold the Wii U worldwide ?

Wii U - 5.86 million shipped as of December 31, 2013

So PS4 is very close to surpassing Wii U LTD.

 

[Dragonborn]

Wii U was at 5.86 million by the end of 2013. It will definitely surpass the Wii U sometime in March.

It'll pass it no later than Feb. 23

 

[cardinalmind]

With PS4 beating expectations. Atleast the PS brand won't be in the chopping block for a while. Hope the Vita can also experience a turnaround so that it won't get axed early.

 

[Loudninja]

So they reach their goal already.

 

[BoboBrazil]

Potential for 6 million by this weekend?

Easily. They are probably atleast 5.5 by now, since these numbers were from Feb. 8th.

 

[Nirolak]

Damn that's good and still hasn't launched in japan.

That one I'm pretty negative on, but given the strength everywhere else, I don't think it's a big deal.

 

[SwiftDeath]

That's a big number. Beat their Fiscal Year projection by a month

I say 7 million by end of March

 

[dolemite]

The Japanese launch may cause shortages in Europe, yet again.

 

[Sapphire Dreams]

But they told me consoles are dying !! How is that possible ?

 

[Westlo]

Japan bump aint gonna be that big imo....

 

[Biker19]

Congrats, Sony! Well done.

Damn. Has the PS4 already outsold the Wii U worldwide ?

It will soon. It's not too far off from doing so, either.

 

[Chobel]

Just an educated guess:

Xbone should be around 3.3 million: 3 million from 2013 and less than 340K in January 2014 ( 141K from US, and definitely less than 200k from the rest of tier one countries)

Difference 2 million units.

 

[Man]

World domination.

 

[strange guy]

well done sony

 

[coolasj19]

That one I'm pretty negative on, but given the strength everywhere else, I don't think it's a big deal.

I think at the very least, they'll sell every unit they make for the first batch. It'll be supply constrained for a while just like everyplace else. It's how fast it meets demand that I want to know about. How many units is the Japan launch projected for anyway?

 

[raven777]

Japan bump aint gonna be that big imo....

I expect less than 300k in the first week.

 

[hateradio]

I just added one sale, in the last week.

 

[SwiftDeath]

Just an educated guess:

Xbone should be around 3.3 million: 3 million from 2013 and less than 340K in January 2014 ( 141K from US, and definitely less than 200k from the rest of tier one countries)

Difference 2 million units.

Yep the gap truly is wider than you think

 

[ElTorro]

That is crazy... and people doubted that they could reach 5 million by, what was it, March?

 

[mysteriousmage09]

The Wii U number is shipped. This is sold.

 

[Rozart]

That is a lot of PS4s.

 

[Mrbob]

So they are already above their original projection two weeks before Japan launch. Wonder how far they'll be by the end of March. Will they able to ship enough to hit 7 million?

 

[Replicant]

Congrats Sony!
