The controllers are selling more because more PS4 has been sold. There are people who always buy a spare controller.

That's what I do. Need a long cable to reach my recliner, so easier to just alternate.

Well, the first thing you should know is they don't even attempt to track digital PC sales so their PC numbers are useless.
I have mine plugged in, i've had the controller die on me many times and during online FIFA matches =/, being a goal up and then your controller dieing on you and having your opponent get an easy goal in, has gotten me so mad that i don't even want to unplug my controller anymore.
wat. No, there are 205 left:
Wat, that don't make no sense. It was definitely 1 when I did it. I double checked.
Console returns clearly. PS4 doomed.

I'm guilty of this.
I have a blue/red one for myself and my girlfriend, the a black one for my younger brother to use when he is playing it.

DS4 is selling better for multiple reasons:
1.) It has PC support
2.) PS4 sold more consoles
3.) It's the better controller
I use the DS4 on my Xbox One.
in the past I used the 360 controller on my PS3.

#3 is entirely subjective and a little inaccurate from the objective point of view, as the X1 controller seems to be built with better materials, (sticks) just to name one.
A good bit more. Wii was still shy of 6 mil by the end of March.
Yeah, I don't even know why anyone would buy the disc version of this game unless they wanted to have a physical copy. GMG and other sides had it for $45 before launch multiple times. Only EA would know # of activations digitally.

Just got the infamous bundle today . Pretty cool console.
Ok
I just got a real job for the first time in my life, which means I can finally jump into next-gen without worrying about it. I expect to contribute to the PS4's sales in April. It's funny, because it's still a terrible product to buy as I don't really want any of the games on it that bad. I'll probably pick up Infamous, but I played the first two for free from PS+/the PSN hack fallout and was glad I didn't pay full price for them. Whatever, I want some new hardware and I can play some indies until the holiday season.
But now I'm afraid I'll rush through Dark Souls 2 so that I can get a PS4, and that's no good.

Guys I don't know where to post that. I am still Junior Member because I don't have enough posts.
PlayStation Turkey's VP Sercan Sulun said that The Last of Us with enchanced graphics and Left Behind is coming to PS4 in this summer. He said that on a local TV program on CNN Turk.
Here is the link for show: http://www.multiplayer.com.tr/video/cnn-turk-multiplayer-bolum-45/
In 36th minute, while talking about BAFTA awards hosts are asked him for, "Will we see the The Last of Us sequel soon?" and he replied, "No, sequel is not coming right now as far as I know but I can say that first game will be released this summer for PS4 as a physical and digital copy, with enchanced graphics."
Really sorry for this post on this topic but I think this needs a new thread.

By the way as for those wondering Sony - Turkey relationship, they are the only company that is supporting Turkish vocalization in Turkey. Their all exclusive titles coming with Turkish language support. There is a huge PlayStation community in Turkey because Microsoft doesn't cares about us. So I think that guy knows 'real' things.
Would be huge news and thread worthy. Do expect a retraction tomorrow though.
I should append that; PS4 initially jumped out way ahead of the Wii because the first shipments were much higher... but the numbers have leveled off a bit because Wii production went into overdrive quickly after its launch, whereas PS4 production is still lagging behind demand.
No.
It's selling well because the analogs are shitting out for a lot of people. And because it's a great controller (aside from that major issue)
The sticks are built better but everything else is built better on the DS4. You just have to hold both to realise.
Interesting find. If true I really hope they offer an upgrade path for people that own the PS3 version. If nothing else there is no reason they shouldn't be able to offer an upgrade path for owners of the PS3 digital version.
That works?

If you have the adapter yeah.
Thanks mate!
If true, I hope they let PS4 owners download Left Behind standalone. There's probably a lot of people who had moved on to the PS4 by the time it came out and won't re-buy TLOU at $60 to play the 2 hour long DLC.

If that's true, I'm gonna double dip day one!

many people buy multiples for co-op games, and I know a lot of peeps that do not own a PS4 but bought a DS4 to use w/ their PS3.

Please tell me you don't really think people buy new controllers rather than just getting them replaced under warranty?

Not going to believe it 'til I see, but it makes sense. I would love to play through The Last of Us again with enhanced visuals and a smoother frame rate. I bet summer is going to be pretty barren for PS4 outside of indie releases, too.
There was one PS4 in the cabinet of my local Target, first time I've ever seen one in the wild. There were four XB1s in the cabinet, all regular editions, no TF bundles.
There was also what looked to be a MS guy there who was opening the XB1 consoles and placing in them a voucher for Forza 5, a target employee was helping him out. He asked if these were all the XB1s the store had, and the other employee there said they had 4 more in the back.

Sony doesn't "force" the death of couch coop. Also PC users
any other interesting tid bit regarding sales of any hardware or software? or VITA the Champion
I like to think that was the practical reason I bought a second controller
and totally not for the blue hotness of the pad I got
My DS 4 that I bought before the PS4 has been through a lot of abuse and still no analog peel as of yet..

Thats pretty much in all of Europe, Middle East and Asia, and part of the reason why Playstation is winning, they're very active on regional level. 99 percent of SCE games have local language support, I was shocked when I found out I could play Uncharted in Turkish lol.
I had only trouble with Microsoft, the dashboard wasn't in my local language, Xbox Live was French(live in a bilingual country where majority isn't even French), and the digital version of Halo Reach I downloaded was also French only when my dashboard was set to English, no option to choose English. The fact that Xbone comes out nearly a year later in the smaller markets tells you how much they care about the rest of us.
Nintendo? Never seen a localized game, maybe outside a few educational quizz games on the DS. They also don't need to bother because they don't have many(any?) games with voices.
Not sure if posted, but Amazon UK finally have PS4 solus back in stock http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00BE4HOIM/

Wow over 1000 of them, get them while they're hot
Kind of shock for me to see infamous SS now ranked better than Titanfall for March month on amazon

Neither has mine.
Is this just purely on copies sold so far?
I bought both, but Infamous SS is by far my favourite game this year so far. Glad it's selling well.
You're forgetting all the pre-orders that had been placed before March.
Wii took off like rocket. It sold 20M consoles year after year.
It shot straight to 100M sales and then collapsed overnight.
