Last year they sold 8.8 million combined in the next 2 quarters. This year they have the two biggest 3rd party deals this quarter and their biggest first party title next quarter. It's easily possible.

The mindshare alone of the PS4 is crazy. I'm the only person in my office that owns a current gen console but all of my coworkers, including those whose exposure to games is limited to Candy Crush, have more than a cursory knowledge of the PS4 as well as some of the games out for it-- notably Until Dawn and Destiny.
They have adjusted FY shipment target to 17.5 mil.
Did I do the math right?
Think I'll finally pick up a PS4 this holiday in preparation for FFXV and KH 2.8/3 since it's been confirmed XV isn't coming to PC until way after console launch, can expect a lot of other people jumping on the PS4 train too.
Sad to see the mobile division doing bad still. Sony makes some nice looking phones with best in class battery.

Indeed.
Not a reference. 39.8 million is their target shipment by end of March 2016. Usually you want to be a little conservative with your target. It makes you look good when you bit it
So don't be surprised by 40 million shipped by March.Captain Smirk

My name is PS4. I'm a former member of the Ken Kutaragi class raised by Mark Cerny and Shu Yoshida in a massive HQ in Tokyo, Japan. The year I turned 20, as the head of my own console war, I sold 29.3 million, which really pissed me off because it was .7 shy of 30 million.

I didn't expect 4m PS4 for 1 quarter at all, bear in mind this is before price cut.

uh nope.
1) Holidays with cod and battlefront=$$$$
2) Feb+March 2016 has a bigger and a much better lineup than any holiday season this gen so far.
seems very very acheivable

Officially. The console has been under RRP for a long time now.

Strange, I wasn't even aware Hotel Transylvania 2 existed.
wii u's at 10.7m and xb1 is around maybe 15m? it's an estimate but i haven't made the estimate myself (just using someone else's numbers).
other platforms are 3ds at 54m and vita around 12m (which is more or less my estimate)
Oh I agree. I was just saying that it will do more than 35 million by the end of this year.
I think it was the first hit "non-religious" movie they had this year.
Jesus it's tracking higher than the PS2?
Return of the king indeed. Shame we can't compare with XB1 since MS dropped out of numbers.

How's the monthly consumer engagement though?

Holy shit indeed.
SFV, Deus Ex, Mirrors Edge, Far Cry Primal, Uncharted 4... yep, it's gonna sell like crazy.

May? They shipped 6.4m last holiday season. If they're already doing better this year before the price cut, 35m isn't going to be much of a challenge.

SEN MAU is 64 million as of early 2015.

The Gran Turismo Sport beta also comes out during that period.
Yeah, but remember than PS2 came to west more than 7 months after japanese launch.
Thanks. Vita seems more impressive than I thought,

Wow!! Sony just knows how to make great video game consoles. 3 out 4 generations where they are dominating. Crazy stuff!
For now, but it will fall behind the PS2. However, I expect PS4 to surpass the Wii over time and become the second best selling console.
Considering the XB1 won't be able to stay close I can see why MS isn't giving out hardware numbers. PS4 is going to end up way ahead worldwide. At this point MS just needs to figure out how to sell their next system outside of the USA and UK. The PS4 and XB1 are close in both these territories so it tells the strength Sony is showing worldwide.

i can think of people who'll buy one for this alone.
and im sure well get a game or two more with release announced at psx
we don't have real numbers for it since sony bundles it with psp. soooo i kinda overshot it. i believe us is 2.2m and canada is generally 10% of that, which means 2.4m. then there's 4.3m in japan, so it's around 6.5m there. europe's been doing better than north america but worse than japan i believe, so maybe 3-3.5m is reasonable.
10m for vita then. don't know why i thought it was higher, but that seems like a fair number based on the information we know.

Pretty good. Probably around 26-27 million sell through at least. Selling in as much countries as possible AND having good marketing = success.
Console market is still doomed!!

God damn....
Vita is so dead in America that we have an impression that is a bigger bomba than Wii U, but shipments for both are likely very close.
Poor wallet...
ps2's first and second quarter took place only in japan. it had a staggered release and didn't really get going in the worldwide sense until its third fiscal year.

I thought PlayStation was the second best selling Console.

Q1 is the new Q4
they should call it gran turismo sport prologue and sell physical copies.
