Cool, I don't follow sales much. Just wondering. Lots of vitriol in this thread

It's impressive how big PS is in Europe.

The system will have sold-through around 750K in the US for the quarter and around 450K in Japan. So 1.2M in two major territories.
Indications from the PAL thread are that the situation in Europe continues to be abysmal, but being generous we'll say that it managed to somehow sell-through the same amount as the US. So that's about 2M.
With the state of sales, retailers aren't going to be ordering in significant amounts, so I doubt there's much in the channel, so I'd expect the Q3 shipment to be in the realm of 2.5M, with a FYTD of about 3M.
A rapid collapse in Japan gives some indication of an impending soft Q4 as well.
That isn't anything to be "delighted" about, when your forecast is 9M.
What's so funny?

So how would the PS4 have done had it been in stock?

what he already said, Xbox One overall software and first-party software is higher
we never even got any Xenoblade sales at all, damn you Gamestop-exclusives!

I am shocked Ryse sold that much more than double what I would have guessed.
Well done for MS hopefully they can keep momentum

They've pretty much confirmed there will be a Season 2 later this year so I would imagine it did pretty well.
I'd also be interested in knowing specifics though.
Give the man some time will you, it takes some time to come up with the right spin doctoring.
US(2013): 3.170.000
JP(W2 2014 Famitsu): 4.175.999
FR(2013): 585.000
That's 7.930.999 sales. The game is probably above 9 million by now I guess? I'm expecting at least to top it the 10 million before the end of the year but that's fine anyway.

Yes, because you have more games Einstein.

Huh? How?
We know a little bit about which games sold better from NPD order:
CoD, BF4, and JD'14 sold better on XBO in 2013. (The 3 best selling games of December). He doesn't mention Just Dance so we know it's not a complete list of games.
LEGO and Skylanders may have also sold better overall on XBO since they beat the PS4 versions in December. We know at least six 3rd party games sold better on XBO last month.
I'm surprised JD, Lego and Skylanders sold better on the bone... Thought, that might be due Ps4 selling out and daddies/mums being unable to find it to gift their children...

Shouldn't have been 60 bucks imo.

The world may never know. Probably 4.2 Million worldwide and Europe would have lost out. It's what Foxconn could make.
It got a lot of advertising here in the U.S. I didn't think it would sell that well, but it actually makes sense it retrospect - the commercials are good and got played a lot.
Cool, just curious, did Double Helix say something at some point about it?

@ $20 I would have bit very quickly on that.

So happy to see good sales for Ryse. Hopefully this means a sequel will come.
no more pain.
Well, it isn't a first/second party game either.
Not first/second party though (It's published by Ubisoft, not MS).
That he had to admit 3rd party sales were higher on ps4.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
Shipments should be at 10 million for Q3. Great success with Pokemon X and Y.
Early adopters + Christmas + US/Western love for XBox. I think it will have legs in the US but I expect PS4 to outperform it overall. There seems to be a lot more positive buzz for PS4 vs. PS3 and less positive buzz for XBO vs. 360.
What does he need to spin, they sold more software with less hardware.
That's not exactly bad.
When comparing single SKU sales, yes. If it were combined like 2010 onwards, I think it would of been a different story altogether.

During the stream today they mentioned Season 2 on a few occasions. Basically mentioning certain things that they have planned for it. No major details but it's safe to say we'll be seeing more KI content later this year.

Unfortunately so, but then I doubt it had a massive budget anyway, will probably (hopefully) be a game with a decent tail
In the zeal to thump his chest, he's looking like a fool giving out numbers that is proving 3rd party sales are better on PS4.
He didnt have to give out PS4 numbers, FYI.

Good point. It'll be interesting to see what happens once the PS4s starting flooding back onto the shelves.

Didn't the 360 outsell the Wii in the USA, to become the best selling console (in the US) of all time?
This gives us a lot of info about the 2013 sales So at 3 million 2013 we have:
US: 1817k
UK: 364k
DE: 100k
= 2281k
So 719k Sold total in the other 10 launch markets? do we feel the 3 million is accurate? 71k on average seems a little high for the remaining 10 countries IMO. What other figures do we have?

I still have no idea what they're playing at with that.
Reality has to have set in by now. A massive restructuring is imminent. At this pace they'll actually be lucky to hit 12 million units in five years. Their firm resolve on this forecast is just an amazing train wreck in super slow motion.
Ouch Gran Turismo

I love Pokken!
Damn.
Ouch PSV.
Great sales for the XB1. Not surprised considering how dominant the Xbox brand is in the US.
I have to laugh at Aaron Greenberg, though. Obviously 1st/2nd party sales are better considering your competition only has two games under that category! I'm surprised PS4 1st party sales are as high as they are, honestly.

They are counting Dead Rising 3 which is neither.
First party = Company owned dev using developing company owned IP
Second party = Independent dev developing company owned IP
EDIT: I guess, "published by" makes it second party. Rescinded.
Aww vita...
Is that suppose to be a negative towards Microsoft? They sold more because they had more to offer, Good for Microsoft, my PS4 still dormant waiting for the next game which I thought would be Driveclub
.That is what happens when you dont have many exclusives. You have to buy 3rd party games. Nothing to laugh about.
