console gaming is dead tho

 

[Bricky]

Console gaming is dead, long live console gaming!

 

[KageMaru]

That is insane, congrats to Sony on the well deserved success.

 

[nampad]

Crazy good sales, thought they would have waited for a milestone like 20 million though.

 

[Vashetti]

Must be so perplexing to them after the PS3's first two years in particular.

 

[King Cobra]

Take note Nintendo, this is what great hardware at a great price and caring about your fanbase gets you.

 

[Oxn]

I did my part, I bought 2 PS4 within 2 weeks of each other.

 

[jackissocool]

gat damn

 

[StayGaming]

thats alot of maddens, AC and CoDs

 

[ASIS]

Awesome gif. Still Xbox One is approaching half of Xbox's LTD, it won't be another PS2 like gen.

Why not? PS4 still has many years a head of it, it hasn't peaked yet. Not by a long shot.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Honestly expected 20m. Still damn impressive though.

Software: 81.8 million.
Hardware: 18.5 million

Tie ratio: 4.42

Rivalling the attach ratio for 360, which was a beast.

 

[Javin98]

I predict the PS4 will hit 20 million next month with the release of The Order 1886 and it still has a decent chance to hit 40 million at the end of the year

 

[Mass Effect]

Damn. Insanely impressive.

 

[ComputerMKII]

How many lifetime Wii U sales is that?

 

[Rogue_Ledr]

The Return of the King

Did it really sell that many worldwide? I know it sold over 100 million, but I didn't know it went that far.

 

[ninjablade]

Sold to consumers.

holy shit, that's fucking amazing. i thought 18.5 million was shipped numbers.

 

[Chobel]

Slightly related, what's your prediction for XBO sales at this point?

 

[King_Moc]

Take note Nintendo, this is what great hardware at a great price and caring about your fanbase gets you.

A shame it has nothing to do with great games though.

 

[Betty]

That's pretty damn good.

I love how the console wars are so hard to predict, I was positive Nintendo would just straight up dominate with Xbox winning over PS again.

We don't know why PS4 is selling - Yoshida

Did it really sell that many worldwide? I know it sold over 100 million, but I didn't know it went that far.

yes it did. ps2 is the king for a reason

 

[Nerix]

They really did a great job with the PS4 so far. Now keep the train going.

 

[Acquiescence]

Hey Sony, you know what game would really benefit from such a rapidly growing userbase? Shenmue 3. Better get Sega on the phone.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Damn good!

 

[Brian_FETO]

Yeah but did they win Dec NPD? Thats what really matters.

Lol'd hard

Insane numbers. Straight up skipped 15 million.... Let's hope crazy awesome sales will lead to crazy awesome games beyond 2015

Spoiler

If not, Bloodborne will suffice

 

[GeoramA]

thats alot of maddens, AC and CoDs

The salt flows.

 

[tt7n4]

All hail Knack!

Good job Sony.

 

[GraveRobberX]

Now Imagine where it would be if it had done the same scheme X1 had done

PS4 + 4 Games for $329.99-$349.99, hell throw in 1 year PS+, shit would be sold out

 

[hohoXD123]

Pretty damn impressive, makes you think what sales numbers would look like once the bigger exclusives release next year along with a price drop.

 

[Insane Metal]

Software: 81.8 million.
Hardware: 18.5 million

Tie ratio: 4.42

What the hell?? That's an insanely good number. In the first few months it was 2.something against 3.something for XBone.

Goddamn, that's a freaking awesome job, Sony. Congratulations.

I'd be glad if anyone could make graphs comparing PS4 sales against PS2 and Wii.

 

[HowZatOZ]

Boom. Crazy sale numbers. I'll definitely be enjoying my PS4 as the exclusives roll out this year, first up being The Order and Bloodborne.

 

[Y2Kev]

Hey Sony, you know what game would really benefit from such a rapidly growing userbase? Shenmue 3. Better get Sega on the phone.

Sega shut off all their phone lines due to no money

 

[Sylver]

I hope Japan returns on console wagon at some point and then party will be complete.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Take note Nintendo, this is what great hardware at a great price and caring about your fanbase gets you.

Nintendo doesn't care about their fanbase?

Since when?

 

[Gambit 1138]

I remember just a year ago when small minded people here on neogaf said that the days of PS1 and PS2 era sales successes were over

 

[Miles X]

Why not? PS4 still has many years a head of it, it hasn't peaked yet. Not by a long shot.

Well if you call 2:1 PS2 like then I guess you're right. I just don't think 100m vs 50m~ is the same as 155m vs 24m.

 

[Omnistalgic]

fook....so they probably already shipped 20 million then since that's sold to consumers.

if Sony has the better marketing and game library this year, they can really take off. Momentum is still strong world-wide for the Ps4.

At this point, I just want Japan to make somewhat of a comeback. We will never get that 150 million PS2 era again, but I at least want to see JRPG's, Action titles, and fighters make somewhat of a comeback and something besides FF/DQ sell over a million copies on consoles.

 

[Duxxy3]

Euro sales must have been huge.

 

[Kagari]

Now Imagine where it would be if it had done the same scheme X1 had done

PS4 + 4 Games for $329.99-$349.99, hell throw in 1 year PS+, shit would be sold out

Except they didn't need to. There's no need for them to take a loss at this point when there is a 2:1 gap over the competition.

 

[DevilFox]

No 20? Fail.
It's crazy if we think that they did it without the big guys (GT, Uncharted, GoW etc.). I can see them at 32-35 next year, I'll be surprised if they do less.

 

[shinobi602]

An almost 20 mil installed base in a year. We good bros.

 

[alr1ght]

 

[Justice_Bolt]

Should be 20 million by now....the demand is dead.

LMAO

 

[Bold One]

Just wanted to say, I adore Riful.

That is all

 

[Ape]

slightly disappointing numbers since they didn't hit 20m but they still did great. not the best ever but these numbers show a very healthy market.

 

[dmr87]

Did it really sell that many worldwide? I know it sold over 100 million, but I didn't know it went that far.

Sure did.

 

[Loris146]

Software: 81.8 million.

It says software sales are from both PStore and retailers.

But what about " Ps4 has no games " ?

Spoiler

jk

 

[Floridian]

Take note Nintendo, this is what great hardware at a great price and caring about your fanbase gets you.

Not sure if serious or not.

 

[Darknight]

I remember the time people were looking at the terrible 1st year WiiU sales and predicting PS4 (and Xbone) were gonna tank so bad, that consoles were dead and it was either mobile , handheld or PC only. Like Nintendo consoles are good ways to see how the market will play out....hehe.

 

[GraveRobberX]

Except they didn't need to. There's no need for them to take a loss at this point when there is a 2:1 gap over the competition.

I know that, being 1st gives you an advantage sales wise, it's just what if Sony went for the jugular right off the bat
Shit would be unreal to see

 

[cebri.one]

Only US sales matters.
