I believe the fastest part refers to quickly hiding Xbones in the store bag to conceal the shame.

to be fair, XB1 is irrelevant in Japan.

Wasn't he talking about power difference and not sales?

I'm pretty sure Nintendo has shipped 4 million WiiU's... sold through is likely much lower. IF PS4 isn't there yet, give it a few minute.

Well, he was talking about hardware specs, not sales.
I guess that by E3 there will be around 14-15 millions Next Gen consoles out there (excluding the wii u) enough to substain several games and killing cross gen development
at the end of this year we could have reached 35+ millions imho

Guys, just because the Xbone "lost" doesn't mean the PS4 "won".
No. Up to.
or you know common sense, Microsoft still has over 30 markets still to launch in which would probably equate to 300k-400k total.

No
"as of december 28" means that they had sold a total of 4.2 million units at the end of december 28th.
Think Nintendo only reveals # shipped to retailers, not bought by consumer. 4.2 million were shipped to retailers as of December 1st according to Wii U wikipedia. Either way these Xbox and Playstation numbers are probably making Reggie sad.
If the great sales of XB1 and PS4 isn't enough for people who thought that to change their views then they are in complete denial.

Maybe they wanted to make sure they beat expectations. Clearly the new humble Sony underestimated the PS4.
It's a joke.

Well, there's certainly going to be 10 million consoles out there by April as EA stated, but it's not going to be a 50:50 distribution.

The interesting thing is that the numbers will still rapidly grow as fast as Sony is pushing them out considering they are still not available in store shelves.

Pure insanity type numbers there. 4.2 million sold in about 42 days or so? Greatness.
Congrats to you Sony, well deserved.

excitement is excitement, enjoy it whenever you can.
and mind you, a lot of people thought the console market was dying/dead at the start of this year.

True, but the strong sales would lead to more greenlighting of next gen products targeted after 2014. I'd say any cross platform games are already well into development at this point.

Great numbers. Great for both consoles being off to a pretty strong start.

Isnt it better at end of sales year to say they met and exceeded expectations, instead of couldnt reach expectations?

This isn't Microsoft/Panello/Nelson here... plus you can't actually find PS4 units in stock everywhere like you can all of those 3 million shipped Xbones.
I know you were J/K though

But Sony is selling all the units they can produce, what about microsoft?
This is why wishful thinking should not be included when you try to predict numbers, your very prediction becomes infested with your own desires rather than realistically looking at the situation.
And yes i am talking about the Wii U and "the other two will fail as well, you will see!!".
Ive been saying this for months, so lets say it again: There are always failed consoles in each generation, there are actually more failed consoles than successful ones. Not at any point in 30 years has this meant that the whole console industry imploded onto itself, it just meant that the one product id not resonate with consumers as much, for whatever reason, it happens, it happens alot, and it happens in every industry known to man.
But there is always something else to replace it. Always has been.

That's a great number. Congrats to Sony for such high numbers. MS had respectable numbers also. I wished Wii U was doing better though, healthy competition is always best.
Not that I would buy any of these systems since I'm now a citizen of the PC master race. But still wish them all the best of luck.

I know this is strictly for comparison purposes but the gaming market of today is nothing like it was when the ps2 came out.
