He's the Finnish PlayStation PR and Social Media Coordinator.

 

[TacticalFox88]

[BeatnikGunsoo]

Holy Smoly

[VanWinkle]

Wow. Insane. Congrats to Sony.

 

[djblackice]

Wow.

 

[boingball]

Wow.

Well, I got my PS4 y'day as well in anticipation of infamous. I have to say, PS4 has no games. Resogun is nice, but otherwise it is a barren wasteland. Strange that so many million ppl are buying.

 

[Dark_castle]

 

[lastflowers]

nicely done!

 

[PJV3]

Cool, I shall join the ranks soon.

 

[Beardz]

I have a very capable gaming PC, but with all these good news about the PS4 I may get one... some day.

 

[Green Card]

Only the PS2 and Wii have sold faster, right?

 

[Chamber]

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

Pretty amazing pace so far, 6 million before March is unprecedented for units even produced, let alone sold.

I'm glad the one company that tried their hardest to make gaming hardware is being rewarded with success.

 

[jiggle]

so that's like less than 350k to split between EU and NA since Feb8th?

 

[PBY]

Beast mode.


Hope the install base helps the online community pick up a lil.

 

[iamvin22]

 

[RE_Player]

Pull out the graphs and charts people.

 

[Frillen]

Deserved! Sony are very fast to update these numbers these day, while we never get Vita numbers. I guess why

Wow.

Well, I got my PS4 y'day as well in anticipation of infamous. I have to say, PS4 has no games. Resogun is nice, but otherwise it is a barren wasteland. Strange that so many million ppl are buying.

7-8 years was way to long for a generation, so lots of people are buying out of anticipation and excitement.

5 Million. They're a million over, and there's still time.

 

[BBboy20]

700,000 sold in Japan? Seemed like it did a ok launch.

 

[Concept17]

Wow thats awesome. They were hoping for 5 million by march.

 

[plasmawave]

[Bam Bam Baklava]

I expect that number to drop sharply when news spreads of Killzone MP not being true 1080p.

 

[Sendou]

Hows Japan sales?

309K the first week.
