Hahaha you fixed it so his hand goes to his mouth??
I can't take credit for it. Panda In Space fixed it.

Well, my first reaction to this news was "Wow, did they actually manage to make that many for launch?".
I think the PS2 and Wii would have outsold this easily if the units had been available. Both those consoles had crazy hype from the mainstream media and I remember so many "non gamers" talking about them, can't say the same for the PS4.
I'm not trying to downplay these sales, I just think they need to be put into perspective first when I look at posts saying "one console future" or "PS2 levels of dominance". I doubt there'll ever be a console as big and dominant as the PS2 again.
Realistically the X1 could beat it In a couple days due to shipping in more countries day one right?
so far both seem to be off to a flying start.
I dont get why this is surprising... Didnt Tretton say there were 1 million preorders in NA like a month ago?
This one console nonsense needs to be shot down immediately. You know what came of Sony's absolute dominance? PS3 launch Sony.

Xbox Live, as well as the Marketplace in general, were both hugely important contributions.
And buy what instead? There won't be another XboxIf PS4 dominates and Sony tries to do PS3 shit for PS5 then people will vote with their wallet once again.
Hi ThoughtofSpeaking,
I hear what your saying, and can appreciate to some extent. However, the sports analogy doesn't quite hold up, because free-market competition is not a zero-sum game. In other words, unlike a typical sporting match, there doesn't have to be a winner and a loser (or tie). Indeed, as previous generations have shown, there can exist a healthy "win-win" scenario. Heck, one could even argue that this past generation featured a "win-win-win" trifecta...with Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft all meeting and exceeding their own sales goals and targets.

they deserve it, the system is absolutely brilliant. can't stop playing it since I got it friday morning.
I agree it did give them the balls but I don't think they thought it was a good price regardless of PR.....then again I'm from the UK so the price wasn't double of what I paid for a PS2 or PSX, we was already paying that 500 + dollars for years that why importing was so attractive to UK gamers in the late 90's, even the PS4 is only 50 quid cheaper then PS3 was.Doesn't matter if the cost was due to components and not greed. Thoroughly dominating the previous gen is what gave them the balls to launch at $600..
XBONE will beat it for sure just because of the number of countries alone.

Yeah, there was only 3 copies of kill zone and 5 of battlefield left at my local best buy. My buddy told me that at GameStop they only had FIFA left.Shelves were 100% bare at my local Target today.
Wow.
Europe launch could potentially move another million units and Japan could possibly do 300K to half a million.
PS4 might have an installed base of well over 3 million before the new year.
People are ignoring WiiU because there are alternatives.A console isn't something like food or water. If the market isn't interested in your product they will ignore it.
see the WiiU.

Sony was dominating consoles before the PS1 came out? Incredible.
It's pretty clear that some of you guys can't grasp business 101. Competition in any industry breeds excellence for everyone.
PS2 Sony wasn't really anything special, though. PS2 dominated because it sold a lot very early, not because it was the best product on the market from a hardware or cost perspective, and it was also a pain for developers.
Holy shit people.
the PSX is a direct result of COMPETITION with Nintendo.
The PS2 is a direct result of COMPETITION with Nintendo and Sega, followed by Microsoft as well.
It's not like Sony just made the system, put it out there, and the entire industry decided, yep, this is our leader and our god, we will endeavor to make the best games for it and it alone while ignoring everyone else.
You do realize that third party games are going to be the same on at least 3 different platforms?
That dominance will never, ever happen again. It's funny that people even think it's a possibility.
I'm more interested in seeing what studios make games exclusive to these new systems. What kind of losses or gains are they going to have? It's gonna be interesting.
Japan launch is next year, though.
Do we know when the Xbox One is releasing in Japan?
and what came out of nintendo's dominance? the SNES.
what are generally considered the best consoles of all time? The PS2 and the SNES.
XBONE will beat it for sure just because of the number of countries alone.
Who knows there might be a new contender.
New Nintendo console, PC, smartphone games, PS4 games, ... The console gaming world doesn't exist in a vacuum that only contains two new consoles.And buy what instead? There won't be another Xbox
You'd be surprised to see how many bros still think that "Xbox is not doing used games and you always have to be online", even now.I find it rather amusing you seem to be attributing PS4's sales to how the progress of the Xbox One prior to launch, even the Wii U no less. Not terribly surprising I suppose, people claimed the war was over last gen too for no particular reason other than to say it.

agreed
Xbox Live marketplace is still miles ahead of EShop and PSN.
The only one that comes close is steam.
Japan launch is next year, though.

There won't be unless you consider under powered IOS/Android machines a contender. No other company will enter the traditional console space. Stock holders won't accept the traditional console model they want big margins and quick profits these days.
