15-20 million ps4's sold by Xmas 2014, calling it now.
They have the hype, a hungry market, will have launched almost everywhere, and China has now finally opened up.

Easy there cowboy. They'll probably hit 10M, but if their capacity stays at 1M a month, you're basically saying they'll sell every unit they make until Christmas, and that would still only be 16M.

 

[RedAssedApe]

wonder how many titanfall shifts things. pretty big lead tho

 

[SolidSnakex]

Really impressive for Sony!

And Here in Italy, PS4 is absolutely unavailable!!

That seems like the case with much of Europe. There was a post some time last week mentioning that in France you won't be able to get one until March at the earlier unless you pre-ordered.

 

[Neuromancer]

From that perspective I can understand and do deserve a crown.

etc etc

You must have forgotten you're not on 4chan right now.

 

[baxter2231]

I've been reading GAF for a long time, but I never understood this. The picture is taken from the perspective of someone who is inside, looking outside (you see trees and the sky outside). We see the reflection of Wii U, which must therefore be inside as well.
Could someone please explain this to me?

Too much logic for GAF

If it was a reflection and on the inside why is it that we can still read the wiiu logo? A reflection would make it backwards so it has to be on the other side of the window in the rain.

 

[dolemite]

There is no way the Xbox One is giving up a 30%+ sales advantage to Sony.

That's not for MSFT to decide. The consumers have spoken.

 

[stormplyr]

Wow 4.2 million is insane and lol at some of the responses in here.

 

[LilWayneSuckz]

That's amazing. Considering the shortages, I wonder if this will have a positive effect on the sales for their 2014 exclusives since I very much so want "The Order" to be a hit.

Yeah, smartass, let's downplay my statement posting 'look at his history' and not bringing nothing to the table Junior. It's not about console fags, if you could ever care about how many threads were locked flooded with Sony Defense Forces posting nonsenses and calling the other console dead on arrival. I was expecting more of results. So you prove me I have the full picture, and 1.2 is not that much in comparison to its rival (full of yield problems, amright?). /rant

Seriously dude?

 

[f@luS]

Xbox: On sale for 41 days in 2013
PS4: On sale for 48 days in 2013

3 million / 41 = 73,170 Xbox Ones sold / day
4.2 million / 48 = 87,500 PS4s sold / day

PS4 the fastest selling console of 2013.

Take that, Major Nelson.

ps4 on sale for 1 month (nov 29 = dec 28) in europe

 

[Apophis2036]

Very good numbers, they should catch WiiU by the Summer.

 

[Tsundere]

These threads bring the best out of some people.

 

[jwbrown77]

Disagree. As Pachter has long said, it's a wise financial move to eat money on the console and make it price competitive.

Then they can make the battle about the games rather than the hardware and price.

For what it's worth; I have absolutely no interest in buying an X1, and I do own a PS4.

 

[Kagari]

Japan is PS territory. The amount of XB1s sold from there won't make a difference.

That's the joke.

 

[Salex_]

C'mon now, what is this?
The mega hiper full power priceless costumer friendly with best games launched in more countries had 1.2 million ahead of its full of shame competitor?

Or am I not seeing something or this is clearly not a number to be THAT proud of?

From that perspective I can understand and do deserve a crown.

Some serious salt here.

Hah, nice having ya back Major.

 

[BadWolf]

As a gamer to me this is not about a war between to corporation, but with an announcement like this I am hoping MS comebacks with a competing service.

They can't, not any time soon I think unless some drastic measures are taken.

 

[IAmRandom31]

You guys have to read this 'article':


http://talkingship.com/wp/2014/01/07/no-sony-have-not-won-the-console-wars/

The journalism in this industry is so bad it is just sad now.

This is only positive stuff from Sony since last February and for some reason the journalists in this industry ... or talking about this industry simply want to downplay and " NOT SO FAST! " every single good piece of news that Sony has to provide.

It is amazing to watch really. Watch the news stories flow in the dozens if Microsoft ends up selling better, even if it is by 5,000 units, in December. Just watch.

 

[Dawg]

Too bad he got (perm?) banned. I've been saving his posts for a while now.

Spoiler

Dawg does not forget

 

[DieH@rd]

Maybe my math is off but if the PS4 sold 4.2 mill at $400 and the X-One sold 3+ mill at $500 aren't they almost the same figures?

Why would MS need to drop the price/Kinect? Or bundle it with a game for that matter? They're in the business of making money and right now Sony is not really making more than them despite being a hundred dollars cheaper.

MS is not making money with Xbone, even though they are selling it at higher price. Its is more expensive to produce.

 

[Skittles]

I ate a salty crow and spilled so many salt all over my keyboard.

dat edit, lmao. Saw the post before a mod came along. what the fuck dude.

Great news for sony, at this rate it'll probably be close to 10m by the end of march.

 

[dolemite]

The meltdowns... It's happening.

Thread is delivering in spades. Neogaf will become the international supplier of salt for the next year it seems.

 

[beast786]

So technically speaking both XB1 and PS4 sold the same amount since Nov 29th

;p

 

[cookie-monster]

Ipad sales in the same period, 29 million

 

[DenogginizerOS]

Good for them!

Do you still stand by your press release from yesterday that the Xbox One is the fastest selling console?

I don't think a lot of people were going around saying Sony won the console war...that would be a bit silly.

 

[coolasj19]

You could say his ban was... oVerdue.
It seems demand is constrained by supply. It'll keep demand high for a while.

 

[IAmRandom31]

If you are referring to Japan sales i think you need to drop a 0 there.

3DS : 14.694.011


If you are telling me 3DS has sold 150.000.000.worldwide then i very much doubt that also .

Already mentioned a little below was talking about the DS with the 150,000,000 statement. 3DS doing very well also over there anyway.

 

[Majmun]

Ipad sales in the same period, 29 million

What about smartphones????

 

[Neuromancer]

Good for them!

 

[Version 3.0]

I would like to point out that this is not a Wii U. It's the Gamepad. If that were a Dual Shock (2/3/4), nobody would call it a Playstation (2/3/4). I find this amusing.

 

[A_Gorilla]

He will be soon enough.

As in now. Banned.

[driver116]

It's 4.2 million till the 28th so only 44 days for the PS4. That means 95,454 units sold per day.

And unless I'm counting wrong it's only 40 for the Xbone, so 75,000 per day.

It came out a week earlier in America and a week later in Europe.

 

[Danziger]

That seems like the case with much of Europe. There was a post some time last week mentioning that in France you won't be able to get one until March at the earlier unless you pre-ordered.

Exactly!
From Gamestop new PS4 will come only from next January 10, and only for those who have reserved!

I do not remember similar situations, since the days of the PS1!

 

[bob page]

Was on a flight and just now catching up on the Sony news. Damn, they're really going for the KO right now. Given how much I'm enjoying my PS4, I'm not really surprised at how well it's selling. Much deserved.

 

[Brohan]

10/10

 

[AlucardGV]

Really impressive for Sony!

And Here in Italy, PS4 is absolutely unavailable!!

i went around searching for a ps4 last sunday (really dumb move) and couldn't find one. i found 14 xbone tho

 

[mgcastro]

Nice. Sony makes some great products. Will eventually get a PS4.

 

[JABEE]

Good for them!

It is good.

Nope. I am pretty happy here at Xbox with what we have planned.

 

[DangerMouse]

Wow lol.

Too bad he got (perm?) banned. I've been saving his posts for a while now.

What is interesting is that he is posting that prediction just before the first rumors from VGLeaks and Edge started popping up before the Xbox "720" always online, anti used games, DRM stuff leaked.

Its like the posts belong in that specific time capsule, the guy (or girl) assumed that things would carry on as the always have, since he/she compares the sales trend of PS3 to Vita and now to PS4. Inability to accept that things could drastically change.

Which is a very dangerous and risky prediction to make, the video game industry is volatile, its hard to predict anything, things can so easily switch 180. Remember when Nintendo was going third party during GC and there was no light? Then Wii happened. And now Sony was going third party and into irrelevancy and PS4 happened.

 

[driver116]

Do you still stand by your press release from yesterday that the Xbox One is the fastest selling console?

Of course

Spoiler

he's not going to answer you

 

[flkraven]

I ate a salty crow and spilled so many salt all over my keyboard.

I <3 edits. lol

Also, holy shit Sony. That numbers is a monster of a figure. Assuming Sony hasn't nerfed their January supply with the whole air-frieght thing, do they pass the Wii U before the end of the month?
